Planets Nu vs Stellaforge

Planets.nu is a graphical multi-player play by turn war game that simulates combat in space between galactic empires. The game emphasizes mining, colonization and the construction of starships. Players compete against each other economically and militarily on a galactic scale. The game system allows players to construct starships by selecting various components and placing them on a given hull type. There are usually 11 players in a game, each playing a different race with special ships and abilities, but there are other formats as well. At the start of a game, each player is given a planet, a starbase, and a ship. The players have to manage their planet's population and resources wisely. They can create more ships and expand their domain through colonization or conquest of neighboring planets. Of course, all players are attempting to do the same thing, so the fleets will, inevitably, engage in combat from time to time. Planets.nu can be compared to a multi-player chess game in which all players move all their pieces simultaneously, one turn at a time.

Massively multiplayer strategy game set in a ruthless sci-fi universe driven by power, politics, and conquest. You start with a single, insignificant colony on a forgotten planet. What happens next is up to you: expand, dominate, or be swallowed by those who move faster and think smarter. The universe does not wait. Other players are advancing, scheming, and striking while you hesitate. Diplomacy can save you—or betray you. Alliances offer protection and power, but only as long as your interests align. Move smarter, strike faster, and adapt relentlessly. In Stellaforge, dominance isn’t given. It’s forged—by those willing to outthink, outmaneuver, and outlast everyone else.
