Ooooooh. I'd read some interesting stuff about the game before, but it fell off my radar a bit. The removal of the oft tedious initial expansion phase sounds excellent. Furthermore, the thing that really stood out for me from GalCiv 2 (in what was, to be honest, mostly a fairly by-the-numbers 4x game) was the personality and variety the AIs had in diplomacy, so that they're designing the game to take full advantage of that is superb. This one is firmly on my to buy list now.
