Add it to your Steam Wishlist today. For more information, check out www.galciv3.com/crusade.
In Galactic Civilizations III: Crusade, the shield around Earth has fallen, but humanity has been anything but idle. Furious that their attempts at diplomacy and goodwill were met with treachery and violence, Earth turned to its most valuable asset: its people. From spies trained in espionage to soldiers ready to invade enemy planets, the galaxy is ready for a crusade.
Discover your enemy's weak points with espionage, actively invade and conquer planets, and watch talented citizens rise to power to drive your civilization into a golden age. With new races, a detailed civilization builder tool, a new story-based campaign, and more, Crusade brings the depth and excitement to Galactic Civilizations III that players have been asking for.
Check out some of the exciting new features below:
Invade enemy planets while protecting your ownConquering a world is no small task. The revamped invasion system in Crusade allows a citizen to be trained as a soldier in order to invade worlds. Strategic and challenging, invasions will require careful planning as you train your legions and determine which tile to attack first. Be careful not to forget to defend your own worlds from your enemies, too!
Train gifted citizens in the art of Espionage Smaller civilizations can keep up with their larger counterparts by training their citizens in the art of espionage. Spies can steal technologies, circulate rumors to create civil unrest, sabotage enemy worlds, or even go so far as to assassinate enemy citizens to keep their edge above the competition.
Grow your civilization with the help of Galactic CitizensShape the course of your civilization’s destiny with talented individuals called citizens. Choose from over a dozen unique roles - admiral, engineer, celebrity, pioneer, and more - to help your civilizations flourish. Keep your citizen on their homeworld or send them off through dangerous interstellar travel in order to help the colonies on new worlds you’ve conquered.
Use the Civilization Builder to develop and share unique creations on SteamCreate a custom faction complete with leader, ideology, and abilities. You can also customize your own galactic navy and create unique conversation dialogue for your faction to use when it comes into contact with friends and enemies. The civilization builder is integrated into Steam Workshop so that you can upload your creation for other users to enjoy!
Take over the galaxy with new races and civilizationsMeet the members of the Terran Resistance, lurk deep within the bowels of the living rock of asteroids as the new Onyx Hive faction, or look down on other primitive races as the cybernetic space amoebas, the Slyne.
...and much, much more!
Galactic Civilizations III is one of the largest strategy sandboxes ever made. Start with a single world and expand across the galaxy through diplomacy, trade, cultural hegemony, or military conquest in this single-player or multiplayer 4X strategy game.

Woooooo.... sounds good: Proper espionage, invasion mechanics apart of having numbers/tech advantage, but I'm really intrigued in these "great people".

Small problem with the link.... extra dot at the end.
Ha! Not "soon" enough for this impatient lad! Looking forward to it.
Way to Go Stardock. I am gonna hype this up over on Twitter and Facebook and pass it around to my friends there....
Love the star fury there.
and yet as far as I am aware GOG version still doesn't have 2.0
We just got it earlier today (Thursday). One of the blues (staff) on GOG told me there was an issue with the initial build that caused a delay. I downloaded and installed 2.0 but haven't played yet.
If this is anything like you promise, it will win. And thank you for the new factions!
Will we be able to see mod ships, like Gauntlet's ships, in the fleet viewer?
If changing ship sets works similar to the way done in GC2 Ultimate you just easily replace vanilla ship templates with those you want.
So you should be able to take the templates from the mods you like (or: save ship designs from there as template yourself) and put them into your game with Crusade.
I don't know wether this would need to have those mods installed and activated - we'll see.
1) Thank you so much for putting some new factions in! Go Stardock!
2) That said, another human faction? We already have the Terran Federation, United Earth, the Guild (not playable outside of their campaign), Gauntlet's Terran Sovereignty (I know it isn't official, but it might as well be), and a good chunk of the factions on Steam are human. I would have preferred a new faction, or maybe an old one (Drath?), but I am happy that this human faction can be played with the others without nonsensical duplication (or can it?). I will try to keep an open mind, especially since everything else about Crusade sounds great!
I dont know how I missed this post, but it looks awsome! Cant wait to try out the changes. Seems like the change we have been needing to refresh the game.
Im curious as to if us founders will continue to recieve all dlc and expansions free as per promised with the 100 dollar founders pack back when galciv 3 was in alpha? im a little worried crusade isnt going to count for that... i dont have time to keep searching forums, so sorry if this question was already answered...
Yes, Crusade counts for that.
