Starting Civilizations

Published on Wednesday, January 5, 2022 By PaulLach In Galactic Civilizations IV

I just started a new game with the new version that just downloaded this morning as the Corporate Sector.  I am only 58 turns in and I have already discovered 4 other major civilizations and one minor civilization in my starting sector even though I set "Number of Sectors" to "A Few" (the middle setting) and "Civilization Proximity" to "Distant".  I have included 3 screen snapshots below:

  • the properties of my GalCiv4.exe file
  • what my starting sector looks like after 58 turns, and
  • what my Game Settings look like

Is this a bug in the new version?  If not, how could you possibly pack more civilizations into a starting sector?
