This looks like a game that is going to try to be everything, and will end up not being anything interesting.

Yes, this looks like WitP, but in space.

Quote from: Berkut on March 15, 2010, 11:19:37 AMbut I've given up on hoping that someone would put out a well designed space 4x game.

Space Empires 4 was fun for a while, but a bit spreadsheet-ish.

Not to mention the AI was dumber than a box of rocks. :(

Combat movie is out:

Not exactly deep combat - build strong ships and swarm the enemy. Not much tactics (which is ok for me). I like the use of refueling stations to extend range, though I hope the AI knows how to use those, too and goes for yours, too.

And a preview AAR of ship design:

Looks a bit like in Gratuitous Space Battles.

I'll wait for a patch or two.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Looking at the website, there is, in fact, already a patch.  :P

A beta over at Wargamer (Son_of_Montfor) has stated that it's not a MoO contender. It seems more like a EU-type game in space. I'd try it this weekend, but that depends on whether or not I get my online payment code for my new credit card today (Austrian MC/VISA affiliate requires a verification password for many transactions).

Multiplayer is for dependent acceptance seekers who require social interaction to re-affirm themselves.

I wouldn't mind hearing that this is decent.

I thought that there'd be some opinions over at Wargamer already, but for now it's mostly, "Err, guess I'll check the manual/tutorial first."

I'll try it out this weekend myself. Since I'm easily amused and don't need an über-AI to keep me entertained (I'm not such a supergood gamer myself, and I don't micromanage/numbercrunch my games to maximize my results) I would take any impressions from me with a grain of salt, though. :)

Thought it was pretty funny to read one report from the matrix forum about one player who on discovering a race got the advice from his advisors to go to war a crunch the others which he did. He promtly got pwned by he AI who obliterated his empire in about 10 minutes.  :lol:
