Galactic Civilizations II is a great game, it's not a game I can play more than two campaigns in a row of, but for the duration of a campaign I am totally and utterly gripped. The sheer number of tactics and options make it interesting to return to now and again, fire up a campaign and dive right in to another attempt at global domination. This time out I am trying to win the game without resorting to attacking anyone (I am responding when attacked, but not invading any planets and just using my military as a deterrent and to disrupt any opponents attacks) and trying to win out through influence. It is a challenging little personal goal and makes for a very different approach from my usual tactics.
