Check it out http://www.galciv.com/bonuspak/

Also a glowing review posted there today, but we've seen those before in the days leading up to the release of moo3.

Any negative opinions appreciated.

Oh wow...now I am really excited about this game...the in-game mp3 player alone is a wonderful touch, but everything else there is a terrific feature...

[Malleus]

I was merely interested before....now I am downright excited. This looks very very good.

impressive! this looks to be a really gamer's game, if you know what i mean.

[Elden]

It looks EXCELENT.

I only have one problem with it...

... They won't tell us the Australian release date.

[Jamski]

If this is not the most cool, well designed, best supported game ever I will eat my hat - with my head still in it.

hmm..to be honest, i would've expected the enhanced setup screens to be in the normal game.

An enhanced setup screen allows players to customize their galaxies, control their victory conditions, and provides a cleaner interface for customizing your civilization.

The enhanced civilization customization interface allows players to tweak any of the 30 or so civilization abilities. Since not all abilities are equally important, the cost of improving them is different. This gives players an unmatched ability to make each game truly a unique experience.

How customizable will the CD-version be then?

How customizable will the CD-version be then?

Same as the downloaded version.

[Lemmy]

Yeah, duh, but the downloaded and cd-version don't include the bonuspack

Lemmy, I had the same reaction to some of the bonus pak features.

Some seem like they should be in the store bought game. Unless some of the features were designed after it went gold. Maybe after it went gold, they thought of ways to improve it even more and made a free bonus pack out of it.


But, for a free download, I guess it doesn't really matter.

[Boris Godunov]

Yeah, at least they aren't adding these features via an expansion pack that you have to pay for. Who would do a thing like that?

[WarpStorm]

Well supposedly only non-pirated versions can get on the Stardock site to download the BonusPack according to Brad.

[PriestOfDiscord]

I don't mind downloading features like this on a regular basis, it keeps things fresh.

Ten megs of freshness?

Download to big!

[Boris Godunov]

You'd rather not have them provide updates to the game at all then?
