The expansion details the final chapter of the game's Dread Lord wars, and builds upon last year's acclaimed expansion, Dark Avatar. Like that game, Twilight will introduce numerous improvements and tweaks to GalCiv II, from new technology trees to map and campaign editors. Could this finally be the game to pry us from Ironclad's Sins of a Solar Empire? Ask us on April 24. Until then, check out a partial list of additions promised by the expansion after the break.

Awesome. I just finished a fantastic galactic battle last night. I always build up a few alliances, get as much trade routes as I can, then use my huge coffers to fund a massive war effort against anyone who would oppose me. All I need now is one of those Terror Stars. Muahahaha!

Hmmm to get this or Starcraft II when it finally comes out. A hard choice.

I'm in the beta for it (anyone can, you just need to pre-order the game which I did at the same time I bought Sins of a solar empire) and it's been great so far. It may sounds stupid but one of this game advantage is how little ressources it takes to run so this games works great even on old laptop/computer which is a life saver when I leave on a business trip with my work laptop.
