How similar is it to Galactic Civilizations II?

I have both games and I enjoy them both. SE V has far more depth thus the games are far more involved. I enjoy GalCiv2 for simply afternoon playing but depend upon SE V for my meat and potato's 4x gaming.

Good comparison article, Baby-arm.

You should play the Startrek mod for GC2, it rocks.

Space Empires V is a space war game with empire building elements. GalCiv is an space empire building game with war game elements. I played the demo of GalCiv2, and it has a lot to recommend it. Space Empires V could learn a lot from GalCiv2, to add more depth to the empire building parts of the game. Unfortunately, GC2 suffers from absolutely the worst strategic map I have ever encountered and I couldn't play the damn thing beyond a few turns.

Very nice article Baby-arm.
Only thing lacking is any mention of multi-player.
Can you play against other humans with the other 2?

GC2 doesn't do multiplayer. I don't think SoTC does either, but I might be mistaken.
