Computer Games On-Line takes a sneak peek at the upcoming expansion pack for Galactic Civilizations II called "Dark Avatar".

In Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar players confront an expanded universe after the defeat of the Dread Lords. Asteroid fields can now be mined, covert operations as a means of warfare appear, new types of treaties show up and of course tons of new features, new ship types, new planets, new maps, etc. come into play.

Brad, you tease. I see you're still refusing to let slip which two races bite it in Dark Avatar.   

By the way, do you still think DA will be released in time for Christmas?

No new info, from what I already knew but raises the anticipation level.

A SUGGESTION

On the Dominions 3 website there is a thread called screenies. Players looking forward to Dominions 3 can ask for tidbits about the game, the beta testers then may or may not give a screenshot, answer the question. It's a teaser/raises the anticipation level, without revealing all. How about doing this for Dark Avatar? It will stir more interest, generate more pre-orders and cause debate.

Three words: Bring. It. On.

Nice interview Brad. It was a good read. Esp. about how expensive shelf space is. I'm glad your putting the extra bucks in game features instead.   

Can't wait until this is released!

Interesting interview but light on new information. The screenshots looked juicy but I couldn't find any way to zoom in on them to see any kind of actual detail.

I know I have said this before but I need to say it again, I absolutely cannot wait for this expansion! I truely feel once it is released, it will put GalCiv2 on top of a throne for space strategy games on the pc.
