This first video shows how players move around and explore in hex-based gloriousness, and you can watch a fleet dominate the skies in its conquest of other territories. You’ll also get a peek at the UI so far in Galactic Civilizations III, the latest title in one of the most critically-acclaimed franchises ever.

Fans who pre-order the Founder’s Edition will be able to access the Alpha version, coming soon to Steam.  Pre-orders are still available for fans here: http://www.galciv3.com/store.
