Step into the vast expanse of space with Galactic Civilizations Four, where burgeoning civilizations reach for the stars, encountering the unknown and forging their destinies among the cosmos. As the leader of a species mastering faster-than-light travel, you'll explore the galaxy, colonize planets, shape cultures, and engage in diplomacy and warfare. Your task is not only to ensure the survival of your civilization, but also to foster its prosperity.

The core of Galactic Civilizations IV gameplay involves exploring new worlds, expanding influence, exploiting resources, and, when necessary, eliminating rivals, but this is just the start. A sophisticated AI strategist and an engaging in-game storyteller breathe life into the universe, filling it with opponents who pursue their own objectives. Whether you prefer to play tall, focusing on a few core worlds, or wide, developing numerous colonies, you can construct unique interstellar fleets utilizing the detailed Ship Designer, tailoring your strategy to your unique playstyle. Victory can be achieved through military might, cultural influence, diplomatic prowess, or by completing challenging galactic objectives. What truly sets this experience apart is:

• AlienGPT: Describe your civilization's traits and have the AI weave them into distinctive lore, dialogues, ship designs, and portraits.
• Core Worlds and Colonies: Govern as few or as many worlds as you see fit, adapting your empire to your strategic vision.
• Ship Designer: Personalize every aspect of your ships, ensuring your fleet is as unique as your civilization.

With countless galaxies awaiting exploration, will you embrace the challenge and make your mark on the cosmos in Galactic Civilizations IV? Embark on a journey where your decisions shape your lasting legacy.
