Similar to IG2?

Is Galciv similar to Imperium Galactica 2 in any way as I liked that game a lot?

Of course there are Similarities... They both are Space strategy games but I guess you already knew that, did you? ;)

No because IG2 was the one and only "space" game that I've played - I usually prefer things on terra firma.
That's why I asked

Well to say it in an as brief as possible form for someone who does not know more space-strategy games than IG2:

GalCiv is a mixture of Civilization, IG2, some others and some new things.

Don't know if that aids you in any way but I think it definetly is worth a try!

Very little, if any similarities at all. GalCiv is turn based, IG is realtime. Battles are handled like CIV in GalCiv vs realtime in IG. There are no ground battles in GalCiv.
IG is a great game, but other than the fact that it's space oriented, the two are very different. You have to ask yourself: did you like Civilization (if you played it) or any other turn based civilization building game? If you did, you will most likely like GalCiv.
