About the Game

In Galactic Civilizations IV, your civilization stands at the cusp of interstellar exploration, ready to embark into the vast expanse of space! Developing new worlds and constructing advanced starships will be key to your civilization's survival.

Navigate a dynamic universe filled with opportunities and challenges using strategic gameplay and grand-scale decision-making. Discover alien civilizations, craft custom interstellar fleets, and tailor your empire's destiny to win in a constantly evolving galaxy.

Use AlienGPT to describe your civilization, and the AI creates personalized lore, diplomatic dialogue, starship selections, and ambassador portraits for your game. Govern as few or as many worlds as you like, playing tall by linking many colonies for greater resource output, or wide with lower-class planets for a sprawling empire. Ultimately, you'll shape the galaxy, achieving victory through military might, cultural influence, diplomatic finesse, or challenging galactic milestones.

With procedurally generated galaxies and a multitude of galactic events, no two playthroughs are ever the same. Chart your course for the stars in Galactic Civilizations IV, and forge a legend in the cosmos!
