I don’t think there is any developer/publisher I have praised more on this site than Stardock. Stardock’s Galactic Civilizations series is fantastic and Sins of a Solar Empire is arguably the best PC game so far in ‘08. You can’t be a PC strategy fan, especially 4X/turn-based strategy, and not admire Stardock. Even with all the great titles that have come out over the last year and a half, I have yet to uninstall anything released by Stardock. A big part of my blatant fanboy love revolves around Brad Wardell and his team. They ran one of the best beta’s I have ever been involved with for the last expansion to Galactic Civilizations 2, Twilight of the Arnor.

The expansion is finally in stores and in true Stardock community friendly fashion, Brad was nice enough to let me pick his brain about Twilight of the Arnor. Forget the general “gist” type questions you read on other sites, I asked Brad specific questions about every major facet of the new expansion and got some great answers. Want to know what Stardock would like to see in GC 3? Be sure to check out my full review of Galactic Civilizations 2: Twilight of the Arnor and my chat with Mr. Wardell next week.

“It’s really just how we do things. We’re totally transparent. For us, our players are our partners. We are working together with the players as if they were part of our team.” - Brad
