QUICK GAMES Enjoy the depth of a 4X game in a fraction of the time! A game of Space Imperia 4X typically lasts one to two hours. The game is played over a series of rounds, with each consisting of three turns of movement, combat, and exploration, plus one turn of researching techs and building ships. ONE PATH TO VICTORY The only goal of the game is to eliminate all rival home worlds! Victory calls for a blended strategy, including resource management, ship construction, technological research, and tactical-level decisions on a map where no two games are the same. 17 SHIP TYPES Build up to 17 different combat and civilian ships, each with different stats and purposes. Dreadnaughts are the most powerful ship available in the game. They take dedicated research and infrastructure to unlock and yield effectively. Once available, however, its combat stats are the best in the game and a fleet of them can decisively end the game. The counter: any ship is vulnerable to Mines — and these massive capital ships are no exception. Raiders are Cloaked - nimble, first-strike craft that can move through enemy formations and get special bonuses in combat. They require a special technology to be built. A well-timed fleet of Raiders often leads to decisive victory. The counter: Raiders don't work in Nebula, and Destroyers can equip Scanners to negate the cloaking. Fighters are pure strength in numbers doctrine. Fighters are cheap to build, while Carriers are expensive and are required to move Fighters around the battlefield. Fighters attack earlier in combat, allowing them to first-strike other ships in large numbers. The counter: Scouts can equip Point Defense to shoot earlier than enemy Fighters, negating their advantages. 14 UNIQUE TECHS Research up to 14 different technologies, each with a distinct role. Master the full toolkit to outmaneuver and destroy your rivals. Ship Size gates which hulls you can build. Bigger hulls take more hits to destroy and carry higher-level technology, but cost more to build and maintain. Exploration allows Cruisers to equip advanced sensors which can discover adjacent systems without movement. Scout hazards like Black Holes safely, then craft an informed plan to defeat the enemy. When ships of the same Weapon Class fire, the ships with higher Tactics shoot first, potentially securing kills before the other ship ever acts. EXPLORE & EXPAND Uncover a galaxy filled with different terrain types, harvestable minerals, and derelict ship wrecks. Balance the risks and rewards of exploring Deep Space while carving a path toward your rivals' home worlds. Colonize newly-found habitable worlds. Not all worlds are the same - when colonizing, Barren Planets need special Terraforming technology, while Alien Planets require military action to clear alien ships. EXPLOIT & EXTERMINATE Build and expand a network of Merchant Ships and Miners to increase credit income and economic production. Manage your military fleet - decide what ships to build, what techs to equip them with, and how best to defeat the enemy's formations. Deploy your fleets on the battlefield to vie for control of deep space in order to ultimately destroy your enemy's home world. The combat system of Space Imperia 4X is a rewarding mixture of scouting, positioning, attacking, and bluffing - all combat ships are concealed from the enemy until first contact! LOCAL & ONLINE MATCHES Play in over 10 different scenario setups of 2-4 players, with optional rules and various ways to play. Full multiplayer support, including live matches, long-term asynchronous games, as well as online co-op vs AI matches.
