Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova continues the series’ 30-year trend of innovation by introducing AI-generated content OpenAI’s ChatGPT technology. This integration allows players to create their own civilizations that utilize AI to create the lore, conversation dialogs, quests and more. The game also uses AI, trained on decades of Stardock’s alien art to deliver custom graphics for their custom civilization.
CEO of Stardock, Brad Wardell, expressed his excitement about the new additions to the genre, stating, “The use of cutting-edge AI technology allows players to generate entire civilizations that look and feel unique with just a few lines of text has us particularly excited.”

With an array of new features and improvements, Supernova offers an unparalleled 4X strategy experience for players of all skill levels.
“We’ve really focused on making the game more approachable to new players,” said Wardell. “This is the most sophisticated strategy game we’ve ever made, so we have put extra time into UI improvements, tutorials and context-sensitive information.”
One of the most exciting features of Supernova is its focus on replayability. Players can choose from several different galaxy setup options, different opponents to play against, and with the AI-generated events and quests, each game will feel like an epic moment in the history of the galaxy.
