Last week we released the Species Pack DLC and today we've made updates to that pack that include; more species, multi-selecting portraits, and adding the ability to 'copy species'.

For clarity on what's included in Galactic Civilizations IV versus what's exclusive to the Species Pack, please refer to the chart here.

Newly added species include:

• Elesaran: Avian Phenotype with low Diligence and Resolve but high Social. 
• Ganthari: Thanks to their powerful memories, the Ganthari are known as one of the galaxy's wisest species. However, they are not overly popular, as the Ganthari will never forget a grudge.
• Glendorian The Glendorians are a mysterious and aloof species. They are known to seek solitude and prefer isolation. With the galaxy at arm's length, they've kept many secrets.
• Phaelerian: The Phaelerian's appearance hides a vicious and opportunistic nature. Their quick wits and surprising speed make them shockingly competent warriors and allow their scientists to maintain an edge in the arms race. 
• Seculoid: Seculoids, having adapted to drastically shifting climates over millennia, can make most environments habitable. Their extreme intelligence makes them some of the most competent scientists, and their versatile tentacles can adapt to almost every task.
• Truskar: A species of trophy hunters, the Truskar takes pride in defeating powerful foes. Single-minded and tenacious, the Truskar will forsake most things if it means achieving victory.
• Unirix: The Unirix are a paranoid and untrusting species of insects. Their survival instincts are unmatched, in part due to their experience with discrimination among other species.
• Zpherian: Intelligent, charismatic, fickle, and cruel, the Zpherians are compassionate allies and vindictive foes. 

All GalCiv IV players will see minor tweaks to the base species, improved AlienGPT image generation, and some bug fixes. See the full changelog here.
