The human race has finally mastered faster-than-light travel opening up the stars for exploration and colonization. As the leader of the newly formed Terran Alliance, you will guide humanity's expansion into becoming a space-based civilization. Soon, you will discover that we are not alone. Alien civilizations with their own histories and motivations are expanding as well. Research new technology, design starships, negotiate trade and treaties, wage wars, colonize new worlds, construct starbases in the largest 4X strategy game ever made. And when you've finished that, play again as one of the many included alien civilizations each with its own history, technology tree, ship components and more.
v1.8 [Jun 21, 2016]
Version 1.8 has a pretty substantial update in terms of the underlying plumbing of the game as well as new features.
A lot of work has been spent on the multiplayer parts of the game. While few people currently play GalCiv III multiplayer, it is a part of the game that we want to improve the general robustness on as it, in turn, makes the single player game more robust.
We are also putting some work into the AI diplomacy. This is mostly about making the AI substantially more sophisticated when dealing with other players.
As you can see in the screenshot, we are also bringing back asteroid mining in 1.8.
Road Map 2 is in the works

For fans of Galactic Civilizations III this next year is going to be pretty exciting. There’s going to be a stand-alone expansion for the game next year (and “expandalone”). All DLC for GalCiv III will work on it as well but the main thing is that like GalCiv II: Dark Avatar and Twilight before it, this will be a major revamp of the entire game from top to bottom.
Now that the GalCiv III engine is maturing along with the completion of Ashes of the Singularity we can turn more attention to the next phase of GalCiv III.
