    The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

      Sounds great as a story, but bad as a multiplayer setting. It basically means that aeon at first can only fight uef.. if other scanrios include some "not fair" split of the galaxy its just bad from a balance standpoint

        After some pause a GW server is up again for testing, with freshly generated map. Since Cybrans (thanks to abusing bugs, how else) managed to wipe out Aeon.

                  Introducing planet defenses.

                  With higher ranks structures will be unlocked for buy.

                  Godot_v4.5-stable_win64_2025-10-16_19-17-46.png

                  These structures can then be placed on the planets you control. Unlike the units that fly in on transports, these will stay as long as your faction controls the planet.

                  Godot_v4.5-stable_win64_2025-10-16_18-53-59.png

                  When the game stars, all defences will spawn, but they have activation time, so they will be inactive until the required time passes. These structures can not be reclaimed for easy mass boosts.

                                    Hi SupaCup, we have closed testing for now to allow Speed to work on GW for peace. To quote what he has said in GW-Announcements

                                    "@Galactic War Contributor Im shutting down the server until further notice!

                                    Thanks everyone who's tested and reported bugs so far. No more testing for the rest of the year! πŸ˜„

                                    I have gathered a lot of feedback to know what are the important features and fixes to work on. Even if I havent replied to you, I have read all the messages and suggestions in the GW channels. "

                                    Your message request isn't going anywhere, and you'll be added to the testing pool when tests resume πŸ™‚

                                    Mods, can we ban this guy?

                                            New season of testing has started!

                                            The discord channels are now open to everyone.

                                            You can see the server state and download the client from here https://galactic-war.spidarna.com/

                                            Since the last round of testing the setup got simplified. You need to download just the client, the rest is done automatically.
