Galactic Civilizations IV is a space-based 4X strategy game set in the 24th century. Humans have discovered fast travel from light, and aliens are fighting humans to rule the galaxy.
Once you start the game with your home planet, you need to explore new technologies, explore the known galaxy, colonize new worlds, and please your people in the meantime. You’ll also engage in trade, diplomacy, intrigue and war interactions with other alien civilizations.
Galactic Civilizations IV is based on the achievements of all the games that preceded it in the series and adds much more content to the game. You’ll appoint leaders, explore star regions, and enjoy a whole new system of war and occupation. With more detailed research options, story-based missions, and a new 4-axis ideology system, you’ll take on the role of being a completely galactic leader.
