Galactic Civilizations III

/rez I've been playing this a lot recently since the Crusade expansion (there is a pretty good Steam deal right now for everything). It's better than I thought it would be with the Crusade expansion (I didn't bother with vanilla because of reviews) though there are some bugs in MP. The colony management screen is the best I've seen in an 4X - significantly better than anything in the MOO series - the only thing it is missing (at least for Single Player) is MOOish tactical combat. In MP, you don't miss it so much because of the time it would add.

GC + Crusades and Mercenaries is basically what NewMoo should have been - so I guess I agree with Tarrant above.
