About the game

Choose your government, establish commonwealths, and lead your
people through major crises. Politics are here on a galactic scale
in Galactic Civilizations III: Intrigue!

Choose how best to rule your galaxy by establishing a
government, buy and sell rare resources using the new Galactic
Market, put your colonies on the path to independence with a
commonwealth, and more! Intrigue answers the big questions about
governing an entire civilization across hundreds of planets and an
enormous galaxy.

You’ll need to keep your approval rating high among your people
in order to maintain control of the government. Tax the people too
much or make too many bad decisions and you’ll be sure to lose the
next election. How you react during one of several crises events
can also turn the tides of your people’s favor – for better or for
worse.

So, what kind of ruler are you? Are you a dictator, or a
statesman? Benevolent, or malevolent? Will you risk lives and spend
resources to save a small group of your people, or will you
sacrifice them for the greater good? Answer these questions and
more in Galactic Civilizations III: Intrigue!

One enormous galaxy to explore. Thousands of planets ripe for
settling. Hundreds of colonies looking for leadership: you.

Key Features

Choose your form of government
Rule with a gentle touch – or, with an iron fist! Choose from 20
available government styles and set your civilization on a path to
greatness. Each style of governing has advantages and
disadvantages. You can rule democratically, but you’ll need to make
sure to keep the favor of your people so you don’t lose the next
election. You can also adopt an Owner Aristocracy to enslave your
working class, or choose an Interstellar Plutocracy and allow your
corporations to rule, and then the opinions of your people don’t
matter! Of course, there’s the potential for civil unrest, but you
can handle that – right?

See your Civilization through unexpected
Crises
Choose your own adventure! Special events can pop up and throw a
wrench into your plans for your civilization. These events, called
“Crises,” are navigated through a series of choices that you make.
You might have to quell a group of violent revolutionaries, or
rally your forces against a massive space creature lurking at the
fringes of your empire. How you decide to handle each situation
will affect what events, options, opportunities, and rewards become
available to you.

Establish a Commonwealth
Put your colonies on a path to self-sufficiency! As your empire
grows, worlds on the outskirts will want to become independent.
These subject-states will do as they’re told without you having to
lift a finger. By granting these worlds a status of commonwealth,
they will be converted into an ally with a favorable disposition
and will be inclined to implement your requests on the galactic
scene, as well as provide a substantial stipend back to your home
civilization.

Trade on the Galactic Market
There’s always a good deal at the market! Well, maybe not always,
but that’s what they’ll tell you, anyway. Sell Durantium before
extensive mining drives down the price, or pay a premium to get
some Elerium to construct that new prototype flagship you’ve been
wanting. How steep the price gets depends entirely on how much is
(or isn’t) available, so buy and sell with care!

Keep up with current events using the Galactic News
Network
In space, there is no biased reporting – that’s because we’ve hired
a robot to handle it! Check the news to monitor who’s allying with
who, who’s declared war on each other, and many other activities
that are going on across the galaxy. Keeping up with current events
and galactic happenings is the best way to stay one step ahead of
your opponents.

Explore exciting new content
Be prepared for anything! From famine to protests, you’ll face new
events that challenge your leadership and test your people. Certain
governments and crises will award you with brand new ships that
can’t be obtained through any other means. Your choices determine
your path and what rewards and penalties you’ll have to deal with,
so choose wisely.
