v3.2 Update Now Available

AI diplomacy, early-game pacing, and gameplay balance improvements across the base game and Tales of the Terran Alliance DLC.

Get GalCiv IV Now  |  Full changelog below

The v3.2 update addresses some of the most common community feedback. AI civilizations are now better about when and how often they contact you diplomatically, and they make smarter decisions about when to surrender rather than giving up prematurely.

Early-game pacing gets a notable adjustment. Dreadlord events and Titan spawns are now gated to later turns, so you won't run into endgame threats before you're ready for them.

On the balance side, deposit improvements, starbase modules, and ship blueprints have all been tuned. Several abilities and techs that weren't working correctly, including Prometheus Stone, Quantum Mirror, and capstone tech stacking, are now fixed.

Multiplayer players will find desync issues resolved, and map seeds now generate consistently every time.

For Tales of the Terran Alliance owners, Raiders get a stronger start, new tech unlocks have been added, and Terran civilizations gain a new starbase module.
