I guess there is no way to exchange the original Impulse version for a steam one?

Ok, let me clarify - I'm mostly interested in news about Stardock games, delivered in a way so I don't have to check them manually, RSS or Atom would be perfect.

Maybe it's a silly question, but I can't find (sadly) a RSS with stardock news, is there any alternative other than Twitter?

I did use OS/2 back in the day and it was the best system I ever used then. I remember when I tried Windows 95 after being used to usability, stability and multi-tasking of OS/2 Win95 was just horrible... Sadly at the time I did not know about Galactic Civilizations for OS/2...

To add my 2 cents to the heated discussion - I like DA espionage better than the vanilla Gal Civ one. And it was rather my impression that it is the player not the AI that can exploit it. That said I regret that the devs did not rebalance the Dread Lords campaign with the spies in mind, as it is one can stop "unstoppable" Dread Lords with a spy spam... Coming back to ToA - I read in some review that AI can not cope with the new victory condition, is it still true after the patches?

Thanx for clarification.

Hi, I do not have the ToA expansion but had a brief chance to play it last weekend and I must say I see most of the changes as a move backwards. I'm sure I've missed some changes, and maybe did not have enough time to appreciate those that I did notice, so I'd be very interesting in hearing what exactly in your opinion makes it a better game over GalCiv gold. Things I did notice: - New tech trees - they seem to limit the number of techs each Civ has, e.g. Terrans can only use beam weap
