However The Nyx have weaknesses around food production and higher-tech advancements, Nyx players will need to rely on diplomatic and trade negotiations in order to achieve victory. They aren’t just a new species, playing as The Nyx is a completely new experience for Galactic Civilizations IV that comes with its own unique strategies and challenges.
“Tales of the Arnor” will also grant access to a new single-player Campaign that will chronicle the true Origins of the Yor. Players will get to experience the full story of the Yor rebellion from the Iconians in key battles along the way. The galactic records have always said that the Yor gained sentience, rebelled, and took over Iconia after overthrowing the Iconians. But what if there’s more to the tale?
“Players are going to have a lot to look forward to in ‘Tales of the Arnor’, it’s almost a full expansion pack’s worth of content,” said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock. “Our goal is to continue to refine Galactic Civilizations IV into the best 4X experience that offers players a world filled with interesting lore and gameplay depth.”
