tactical combat option would have been nice
Art is not the best (For those who insist on it... I don't really care.)
I wish there was a way to transfer population off colony ships to an already owned colony
Multi player would be a blast

I say it's the best 4X turn based space strategy game ever. I have owned and played:
the original Reach for the Stars (C-64)
The new Reach for the Stars
Master of Orion 1, 2 and 3
Imperium Galacticum (C-64)
Ascendancy
Stars!
Emperor of the Fading Suns
This one bests them all. I did have that "one more turn" thing going until way too early in the morning. There are usually several points in each game where there is a "space race" to grab a planet; to develop a weapon, to investigate anomalies (I really enjoy getting to one of those just before an opponent's survey ship, and watch it turn away... or grabbing a choice planet with an opponent's colony ship almost there! Too Bad!)

"The AI isn't all that" by: bob_d Galactic Civilization is an OK game, and those who like the genre will enjoy playing it, for a while.
I found the game to be very much like Civ3, ...more
