Bottom Line: Play it! GalCivII is one of the best Turn-Based Strategy Games to be released. It takes all of the elements that made MOO a hit, and expands upon them. The greatest part is you get to custom design the ships in your fleet. Not just choosing payload, engines, and armor; but actually choosing the look and shape of the ship using the modular ship building system. The game is easy to learn, but difficult to master, giving vast amounts of replayability.
