Summary
Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar is the first expansion for the turn-based strategy game Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords. It introduces several new features, including: Two new civilizations—the Korath, a genocidal branch of the Drengin, and the Krynn. A new campaign where the player takes control of the Drengin Empire. The option to create custom opponents. A new "environment" statistic for planets, which determines which civilizations can naturally colonize them or what technologies are required for others to do so. An expanded role for espionage, with the ability to hire special "Agents" to perform missions like sabotage or destabilization on enemy worlds, or to act as counter-agents against enemy agents on your planets. The addition of asteroid fields to the space map, which players can mine for resources. These resources are sent to planets to boost manufacturing. A wide variety of new ship hulls and jewelry. The removal of two civilizations during the campaign—these two will still be playable in "sandbox" mode but will not be included in future versions of the game.
