Yah, I just got into this game about 6 months ago, just working my way through the campaigns before starting up some hugish map.

Almost at the end of the Twilight campaign, in the scenario where I have to build a terror star. Perhaps this is the last scenario in the campaign?

I just finished up a game today on a gigantic map that took about a month to complete. I usually try to submit a game every other month or so, time permitting.

I think the community is still very much alive but admittedly not as active in the forums or the Metaverse/AltMeta as in previous years. People are still playing GalCiv II/DL and it's two expansions, DA and ToA as far as I can tell judging by the questions posted in the forums and scores submitted.

I'm still enjoying the game (currently playing ToA 2.03) and experimenting with new strategies and learning new things all the time which keeps everything fresh for me.

As far as the development of a GalCiv III game down the road is anyone's guess. After all, Stardock just released EWOM recently and I'm sure the focus and support for that game will be their major priority for quite some time to come.

Still playing Dreadlords, only it hasn't been that long.  It's about time for me to try the next add-on, though.

I'm still playing.  I recently downloaded the high-res graphics mod and that's gone quite a way to keeping me interested.  If I'm going to be staring at a bunch of solar systems against a starry nebula background, it certainly doesn't hurt for it to be a cool-looking nebula.

I think though that I'm getting bored of Terrans.  Their tech tree is nice, but I find myself repeating the same strategy every game.

I'm going to start GalCiv II real soon and it will be on a new laptop with Windows 7.

But I wonder, will there be compatibility issues with  Windows 7 ?

I do have GalCiv1 on my xp laptop but from what I understand, GalCiv 1 won't run on Windows 7 so maybe I won't bother with that game any longer.

-.-

I've been playing GalCiv2 on Windows 7 64-bit just fine. I have the game on CDs, but I usually install it from Impulse, if it makes any difference.

The High-Resolution mod is very nice.

A big fan of GalCivII - been playing on and off for years. Different races, different size maps, various difficulty levels. (Generally Small maps, quick games, large maps, long games)

I'm still playing^^ but I only play like 2-3 games a year....  When I play, I binge on it for 8+ hours a day on huge/gigantic maps
