Stardock now offers a new patch for Galactic Civilizations II, as opposed to the more recent Galactic Civilizations III, calling the version 2.20 update a "blast from the past," as it is a major update for this 4X space game that was first released in 2006. This was developed as a collaboration between the Galactic Civilizations community and development team, and includes major overhauls to AI, balance, and general gameplay. "It was awesome being able to work with the fans to integrate years of their own mods and tweaks into the base game," says Brad Wardell, CEO and President of Stardock. "They also gave me a long list of areas where they thought I could improve the AI, which I used to dig into the now 10 year old AI source code base to implement." This post has a complete changelog.
