The second, and apparently final, expansion pack will be titled Twilight of the Arnor. The journal entry goes into great detail concerning the new features, and includes screenshots. It also makes reference to numerous tweaks that haven't been listed individually, but that contribute to 'arguably a complete re-imagining of what Galactic Civilizations II is'.
The following is a list of the significant new features, taken from the game's sub-site:
- 'New campaign detailing the final chapter in the Dread Lord wars
- The star destroying new unit, the Terror Star arrives
- Unique technology trees for all 12 civilizations
- Unique planetary improvements for each civilization
- New 3D engine powered map editor
- New Scenario Editor for creating highly detailed custom games
- New Campaign Editor for players who want to create their own custom epic campaigns for themselves or to share with others
- New Metaverse Tournaments: Specific Map & Scenarios recorded to the Metaverse with prizes for top players
- New Ship Component: Atlas. Makes ships in a fleet more lethal
- New Ship Component: Fortitude. Gives ships in a fleet have more hit points
- New Ship Component: Driver. Makes ships in a fleet move faster
- Unique weapons per civilization
- Updated Planetary Invasions
- New Enhanced textures and graphics for planets and ships
- New Galaxy Size: Immense (vastly bigger than current galaxy sizes)
- Extra alien portraits and logos
- Legacy of the Telenanth: Detailed back story of Galactic Civilizations'
The expansion will require both Galactic Civilizations II and the first expansion pack, Dark Avatar. It should be available from January 2008.
