3 Weeks till it comes out I've been beta testing it so I know the game quite well.
It is a huge game, and it can have up to 5000 planets or something around that number. makes for a really huge game.
And its totally moddable. with the game files being in .XML .PNG and .X I know .XML and .PNG are fairly easy, havent got a clue about .X though
The AI in thr game is awesome, probably one of the best ever made for a game. So if a BOTF mod was made for it. it would not be easy to beat
The only one downside is that its single player only currently. though there are talks about a multiplayer expansion. but that depends how many people want it.
I highly recommend the game if you like Turn Based Strategy Games
