Stardock has released Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor v1.96. This is a pretty major update despite the version numbering. Our goal with this update was to address as much of the player feedback we could in the time available.

Our next stop is to work on Galactic Civilizations II v2.0. v2.0 will be an update for both Twilight and Dark Avatar players which signicantaly enhances espionage, updates the computer AI based on player feedback, and incorporates a lot of new content that we've been working on for awhile.

v2.0 will also include the updated user manual that fleshes out the Twilight of the Arnor universe and talk about the Legacy of the Telenanth. There will be some updates for Dread Lords users as well. v2.0 will be a free update of course.
