Expand your universe with the Galactic Civilizations IV Species Pack. This DLC enriches your strategic galaxy by introducing new alien species and powerful tools to design, customize, and share your unique creations with players worldwide.
Gameplay
This pack enhances the core 4X strategy gameplay by adding new alien factions to encounter, diplomacy to manage, and wars to wage. Its central mechanic is a deep species editor, allowing you to meticulously design a custom civilization by assigning traits, selecting appearances, and defining their role in the galaxy. You can then use these creations in your campaigns or share them online for others to download and integrate into their games.
Story
While not adding a central narrative campaign, the Species Pack profoundly impacts your emergent story. Each new species comes with its own lore and personality, leading to fresh diplomatic encounters and galactic histories. By creating and sharing custom species, you and the community collaboratively write endless new chapters in the ever-evolving saga of Galactic Civilizations IV.
