Shape the landscape with terraforming, construct farms, mines, forts, and other improvements to increase the productivity of your colonies or to fortify positions. Your colonists will migrate between cities based on factors such as pollution and living space. Specialize one city to harvest minerals while churning out units in another.Īdapt your empire to pressing demand. Operate a fully globalized and pooled resource and growth system. Manage cities by adjusting the tax rate, choosing production and assigning colonists to jobs. The indigenous life will react to your actions and treat you accordingly.ĭiscover ruins and artifacts, the relics of an ancient alien civilization long forgotten that can give you an edge against the planet life and other rivaling factions.įound new cities to expand the borders of your empire. Live in harmony with nature or use it to further your cause. There is even talk of a giant creature in the oceans. Deadly swarms walk the lands and agile predators fly in the skies. Survive encounters with the planet's dangerous wild life.
The AI can be somewhat strange, and all knowing (how does it know your army is that much weaker than theirs?)Įxplore a new world harboring a variety of eco-regions, from the frozen ice lands of the north, to vast deserts and lush tropical forests in the south. The combat is always pitched, you either win and wipe out the ennemy unit completely or vise versa. The game`s graphics are somewhat primitive, if you enjoy high definition cutting edge graphics, stay clear of this game.
The "workshop" (unit designer) altough somewhat simplistic does offer good opportunities to costumize specialist troops. If you aren`t particularly fond of micromanagement the default settings are more than enough to provide a stable source of income (assuming you build ressource buildings). The game offers alot to micromanagement enthusiasts, cities can be carefully crafted to be highly specialised in one of the 4 sectors (science/production/cash/food). The AI actually provides a good form of challenge, often you will find yourself in a stalemate where only outmanouevers can grant you victory. TL DR: Honestly if you are thinking about buying this game, do so when it is on sale.
