ASTRO WARS - BUILD YOUR EMPIRE AMONG THE STARS Based on the classic browser game that went offline in 2017, Astro Wars returns as a multiplayer space strategy game built around exploration, planet development, diplomacy, alliances, and war. Begin at the outer edge of a massive galaxy with a single foothold among the stars. From there, the future of your empire is up to you. Develop your planets, strengthen your economy, build your military, colonize new worlds, and push deeper into space as you compete with players from around the world. BUILD A GALACTIC EMPIRE Every empire begins small. Develop your planets piece by piece and turn distant worlds into powerful parts of your growing civilization. Expand into nearby systems, claim valuable territory, and decide which worlds are worth developing and defending. As your empire grows, so do the decisions you must make. Where should you expand next? Which planets are most important? When should you focus on development, and when should you prepare for war? A LIVING MULTIPLAYER GALAXY Astro Wars takes place in a shared galaxy filled with other players building their own empires. Other commanders are developing planets, colonizing new worlds, forming alliances, strengthening their forces, and competing for the same regions of space. A quiet area of the galaxy today could become the center of a major conflict tomorrow. CHOOSE YOUR OWN STRATEGY There is no single path to power. * Expand quickly and claim territory before your rivals. * Build a strong economy through planetary development. * Strengthen your military and prepare for war. * Use diplomacy to negotiate with neighboring players. * Form alliances and work together toward common goals. * Defend key regions from rival empires. * Attack enemy worlds and fight for control of the galaxy. Your strategy can change as the galaxy changes around you. DIPLOMACY OR WAR Not every conflict begins with an attack. Communicate with other players, negotiate agreements, build alliances, and decide who you can trust. Strong alliances can change the balance of power across the galaxy, but every empire has its own ambitions. Today's neighbor could become tomorrow's ally or your greatest rival. When diplomacy fails, prepare for WAR. Build your forces, defend your territory, and challenge rival empires for control of planets and strategically important regions of space. STRATEGY THAT DEVELOPS OVER TIME Astro Wars is built for players who enjoy persistent strategy games where decisions matter beyond a single short match. Your empire grows over time as you develop planets, expand your territory, interact with other players, and watch the balance of power across the galaxy change. Every colony expands your reach. Every alliance creates new possibilities. Every rival can become a threat. Every decision can influence what happens next. ASTRO WARS FEATURES * Multiplayer space strategy * Planet development and colonization * Persistent galactic expansion * Player-versus-player competition * Diplomacy and alliances * Strategic territorial control * Long-term empire building * Players from around the world THE GALAXY IS WAITING Start at the edge of the galaxy with an empire waiting to be built. Develop your planets. Colonize new worlds. Make allies. Create rivals. Build your forces. Fight for territory. Expand your empire piece by piece among the stars. Set out among the stars through planet development, diplomacy, and WAR!
