$99 gets you a named star and alpha access. And according to here, that's expected in February. And yes, it will have multiplayer (Although lacking a lot of other things)

Story time

Stardock is about eight miles from my front door.  I was shopping at a local store purchasing a PC game after playing the living snot out of Gal Civ and deciding it was time for something new to cleanse my palette.  So while doing so I struck up a conversation with another shopper about games to buy.  I told him that there was one game I'd recommend and one I wouldn't recommend but switched the names giving Gal Civ a poor review meant for the other similar type of game.

Welp the gent started politely asking me questions and when I was describing the faults it was obviously not Gal Civ and he looked puzzled.  I picked up the box of for Gal Civ, saw th artword and went, oops got the name backwards this game is awesomesauce.  I then gushed about how much a liked it and why... turns out it was a developer with Stardock looking for voice of the customer reactions.  The sense of relief when I went from "its a pile of poop" to "I may actually be developing an addiction to it" was quite noticable:lol:

It surprises me little that Mr. Chaos is confusing people

oops!
