The results for the PC games of 2003 are in at Gamespy.com! Galactic Civilizations came in #1 for Turn Based Strategy, with Rise of Nations being #1 for Real Time Strategy.
I'm so excited that I can hardly form coherent sentences!
So I'll post a few quotes from the article.
"...GalCiv rescued turn-based strategy gamers from a pretty mediocre year with one of the best "4X" games on the market....The game's great blend of military strategy and diplomatic maneuvering make it a must-have for anybody who wants to exercise their brain rather than their mouse-clicking finger."
Thanks, everyone, for helping us make a great game!
