We all love Space 4X games, and it looks like GalCiv 2 is going to rock - but has everyone taken a gander at the game called 'Sword of the Stars'? It is being done by some of the Developers of Homeworld Cataclysm and looks like it will have to be a must have item for us fans. From what I know, it looks like Rome Total war ... except with dreadnaughts and beam weapons ...
