Twilight of the Arnor Digital
Launch Date Set

Date for long-awaited expansion
pack set to April 30

Stardock is pleased to announce that
Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor has gone into final testing and
is set to launch on April 30. The expansion pack to the critically acclaimed
space strategy game, Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords, completes the Dread
Lord saga with the return of the powerful precursor civilization, the Arnor. The
title requires the first expansion pack (Dark Avatar) to run. A bundle of the
entire saga is available at a discount at
www.stardock.com

CEO and President of Stardock Brad
Wardell said, “This is arguably the most comprehensive expansion pack in
strategy game history, Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor has more
new features and content than Galactic Civilizations II had over the original.”

Among the new features are unique
technology trees for each of the 12 major civilizations. This includes unique
weapons, ships, planetary improvements, and more. Wardell continued, “This game
has been such a labor of love for us. This week we’re finalizing content and
feature additions that were held back during the public beta.”

Additionally, a new victory
condition has been added called “Ascension” in which players can take control of
the Ascension crystals (introduced in the campaign) for victory. Adding to the
new features are completely revamped graphics.
