A kind of is it worth it/how does it play?

[bwfcnut]

Hey guys,

I've seen this in the steam store for a week or two now and it's piqued my interest and I was just wondering if someone could summarise how the game is for me at the moment? The only real 4x strategy game I've played is Civilization 2/3 through 5, however I've played all the Total Wars and stuff like that so I'm used to my turn based strategy. I also appreciate that it's in alpha.

So what's it like? Cheers guys.

Ever play Master of Orion? This game is just like that good old game but better! The alpha is much fun even tho i got curb stomped by the AI because i didn't build enough ships!

Nah I didn't. How is it in relation to Civ and the Total War series? I know that fundamentally it's different given that it's set in space but how does it play strategy wise, tech/reasearch wise, combat wise?

If you have the time, here is a good video showing off how the game plays and all.

Ok, cheers I'll give that a watch. Anyone got any clue whether you get the soundtrack with the Emperor edition?

You do. It says the Emperor Edition includes everything in the Admiral edition

Ah yes, so it does :rolleyes: I hadn't seen that; I think my excessively long exam today has killed off my reading skills >.<
