GalCiv2 Forums
Hello,
What are the differences between Galactic Civ II Ultimate Edition with the Gold Editions ?
Thanks
Gold is Galactic Civilizations II + the Dark Avatar expansion.
Ultimate is everything in Gold + the Twilight of the Arnor expansion
I'm thinking about getting GalCivII, but I want to know if it is better than GalCivI. I have GalCivI and I fall asleep while playing it. Tried turning off the music to play music of my choosing but I miss hearing the game effects. Plus, the graphics could be better.
I am relatively new to the strategy genre. Other strat game I have I Sid Meier's Civ V, which is quite good.
But I love scifi, space, etc. I want GalCiv II! I am going to get it. Should I??
aeligos, IMHO GC2 (especially Twilight of the Arnor) is better than GCI.
Look for sales, if my memory is ok, there was a chance to buy GC2:UE for 6 EUR or $ or something like that. I bought mine for, well, 4 $, as attachment to games magazine 
I've never played GC1. I have to say I love GC2 though. I've played Gold Edition for the last year or two and just ordered Ultimate and plan to sell the Gold to a friend.
Thank you all for your replies.
I am going to get GalCiv II -- Ultimate Edition.
(....aeligos is so happy now....)
-.-
Oh, by the way, does GalCiv II have commentary? For example, is there a robot voice announcing certain events as you play?
That would be awesome... Maybe in some big update. =]
