cichlidfan Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 GalCiv III Pre-Beta Status By Frogboy on August 8, 2014 1:47:34 PM from Galactic Civilizations III Forums Galactic Civilizations III Forums Greetings! The team is really excited to get Beta 1 of Galactic Civilizations III out there. The target date is one week away. The Founder's Edition, which is what provided access to the Alpha builds along with a lifetime subscription to everything we make for Galactic Civilizations III (all expansions, DLC) will not be offered anymore once the beta comes out. On the other hand, the beta Early Access edition will be $5 off the list price of $49.95. http://forums.galciv3.com/456578 ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

NoJoe Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I loved GalCiv 2, probably at least partly because I was reading the Foundation series at the time. Being able to play out a version of that story was pretty spectacular. Looking forward to this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlidfan Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Beta is out. The Galactic Civilizations III beta includes: Race-specific tech trees – Each race discovers the secrets of creation in its own way. Look out for Drengin invasions a whole age before anyone else can pull one off. Ideology rework – Get an entire invasion fleet for free, take control of all planets inside your sphere of influence, and more! Huge hulls – For when you absolutely, positively, have to kill every last filthy alien in the quadrant. New colonization events – Thirty more events will challenge your ideology whenever you bring the light of civilization to a new world. Terraforming – Maximize your adjacency bonuses by filling in gaps on your colonies with SCIENCE! Map features – Durantium, Elerium, and Antimatter are now on the map, waiting to be harvested by your starbases. Watch out for black holes! So much more – reworked planet traits, shipyard queues, automatic improvement upgrading, tons of new art, vastly improved rendering (ships are so shiny now!), the list goes on.
