People have been asking about the campaign for Galactic Civilizations III.  I will be talking a bit more this week about it but it is, in many respects, the opposite of what the traditional story/campaign experience is.  In GalCiv III, the player starts with god-like power and slowly through the campaign sees it get diminished.  The opening trailer for Galactic Civilizations III shows the Crusader.  You start with that ship.
