Galactic Civilizations II is a significant departure from the first game in terms of how to achieve victory.
While at the end of the day, it has the same main 4 winning "conditions" (conquest, influence, diplomacy, and technology) the paths to getting there have been radically changed.
Much of these differences hvae to do with the new technology tree and the nature in which colonies and battles are executed.
On this forum, Stardock developers (including myself) will be discussing various strategies in the game -- many of which may not be obvious to new players.
