While I wait for all the games I bought recently to get properly patched, I went back to GalCiv. Even bought Twilight of the Arnor to make it all new and fresh.

DL: \Stardock Games\GalCiv2\Data\English
DA: \Stardock Games\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar\Data\English
TA: \Stardock Games\GalCiv2\Twilight\Data\English
Sample star names from my list:
