Yes, this is a really great game. I haven't finished the campaign yet. After that, there's still the expansion pack left.

Gal Civ2s ship customization ability is truly amazing, and the AI isn't that bad either.

As AFRIKAKORPS put it,this game is essentially like Civilization in space. Politics play a very important factor, as do Influence. You can even take over planets by just influencing them with your culture, you do this by expanding your planet's "Sphere of Influence". The type of government you choose; Dictatorship,republic e.t.c can give you production bonuses and they all have their weaknesses too.

An important thing is not to become too unpopular with your colonies, or else you'll lose the election, and the positives of your Government get turned into negatives, which means Production Boost becomes Production um..Un-Boost.

Hint for Beginners : Try to buy factories rather than build them on your starting planet, this will help you get an early production boost. Also, do the same for your first colony ship.
