Space Empires 4X

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.

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.

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.

Research up to 14 different technologies, each with a distinct role. Master the full toolkit to outmaneuver and destroy your rivals.
