The gameplay is better.
* You can design your own planet systems if you feel like you want to have certain planets and options available to you in Skirmish or Multiplayer.
I have the original game... it had some issues, with the AI, where no matter how low I tried to set the AI's to build slowly, it would still roflstomp me very quickly... some other issues, like it being very heavy-handed on graphics resources, so I could only play on maps with 6-7 or less planets and still get a usable framerate (if it didn't lock up and bail at all)
A nice game for multiple hour buddy-coop sessions.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
