I'd rather hold out for the second game because I've never played this one, but can anyone tell me which one they prefer?

Besides having trouble reading the graphs because I am color blind I really enjoy Imperim Galactica II. I own the boxed copy but have not tried to install it in quite a few years. I would love to see it on GoG.. This one is tempting to try!

No offense intended: I started IG2 a few times, thought it might be interesting initially, but always lost interest after a while, because I was spending most of the time looking at my colony or colonies and doing chores there which weren't really exciting for me.
Does it get better later in the game?

In IG 2 you begin with one planet and freegame, without a storyline. You choose your campaign and start. But you get better graphics and more comfortable UI.
That is, what I think.

Imperium Galactica sucks compared to IG 2.
I attempted to try playing the GoG version.. the first it's too linear and a mess of ideas like having your own ship, too much scripted events, graphics and soundtrack is worst, the space combat is also too simple, the other big turn off is that there are things beyond the map and minimap but you can't zoom out or pan the view to that section of the map because you haven't complete x objective.
IG 2 has dynamic quests, good sountrack, lots of cutscenes, 3 campaign each with different storylines, the graphics actually look great consider the age it has aged very well the fact that there are 3 "scenes" that get loaded for diferent purposes like starmap, ground view for ground combat and space scene for space battles means they were able to have better graphics more unit and larger maps.
By advice don't even bother with the first game jump into IG 2 and learn to play it , start the campaign as solarian easy, on normal difficulty the Kra'hen steam rollers everyone.
