Reply to Galactic Civilizations II: 1.0X released in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

There is no list of the changes in 1.0X.010 (just released) from 1.0X.009. One thing I noticed (and do not like) is that it is no longer possible to make changes to an existing design; you have to make the new design from bare components.

The special abilities of each races are STILL not properly editable.
