Great I am looking forward to this game. I hope it will be better than Armada 2526. The details are still a bit vague though (how much will it be like a 4x and how does it differ from Galciv2?). Any details on the release date or the possibility of a demo?

Wow.  First Armada 2526 (which I enjoyed) came out late last year, and now this!  I love all these 4x games coming out in such close succession.  B)

No mention of a specific release date yet, but the word is that they're "close".  Knowing how Matrix usually does things, I'd hazard a guess that that means it will be out in the next couple months or so. 

As for a demo, I would very much doubt it.  For various reasons, Matrix almost never does demos for their games.

TBA 2010. Code Force is located in Auckland, New Zealand. Cool.

Keep my eyes on this one. Macro level seems like Moo3, except you play a more active role out among the stars.

Are there different playable species? Couldn't tell.
