For those of you who have pre-ordered Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor can get beta 2. Released late last week, the new beta has a ton of new features in it.
We will be rolling out a new beta nearly each week between now and release and highlighting what's new so that players can be re-introduced to the Galactic Civilizations universe as the civilizations evolve with unique technology trees, unique ships, unique planetary improvements, Terror Stars, Tournaments, and lots of other goodies.
