In GC3 when we talk about diplomacy we really include several things Classic Diplomatic Trade, Techs, and Resources. Not only are there more things to trade, more treaties to make, and more alliances to be formed, there are more ways to do it. Paul Boyer: I think what makes GC3 special, when it comes to diplomacy, is the same thing that makes it special over all: the scope. What would you say is special and different about diplomacy in GalCiv3 from other 4X games? SS: So, diplomacy will be available on Early Access in Beta 2. The lead designer, Paul Boyer answered our questions regarding this beta 2 update, the project status and what’s yet to come. Being we effectively 6 months away from release, I thought this was a good time to host an interview with Stardock. Two more other races are expected to be added in early 2015. Further along the path until release (tentatively April 2015), there’s a “Beta 3” stage, which should bring space combat, ground invasions and the Yor race (from GalCiv2).
This update brought diplomacy, trade, different victory conditions, a special diplomacy feature called “The United Planets”, a “new” (brought back) race – the Krynn, and global events. Yesterday, Stardock released a new major update for Galactic Civilizations 3, the new installment to their space 4X flagship series, and with that the game entered “Beta 2”.
