The series also finally allows the player to play online with friends with its new multiplayer mode. The game is also visually very stunning and rich in details. Many systems, despite their immediate familiarity, have been improved significantly and the game boosts a few new features which still have their foot in the door for being connected to an older system. This should not deceive the player from all the improvements the game does offer. Overall, the game looks a lot like its forefather Galactic Civilizations II. The game, as with its predecessors, shies away from having any form of tactical combat, but the role of the player in fleet construction has been significantly improved.
The ship designer allows the player to almost create (or re-create) any visual ship design they wish. GalCiv 3 is a turn-based space 4X strategy games that has a focus on planetary management, star base construction, and the ability to design your own ships. Galactic Civilizations III was released on May 14, 2015, developed and published by Stardock Entertainment.
