Description
A Plea.
Deanna and I (Your Older Geeks) have been running OlderGeeks.com since 2008 and lately we are seeing a major increase in usage (and cost) but a big decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring in. Please donate on the website today. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.

Explore the galaxy

Manage your own planets
Manage your planets gain access to better buildings and ships. Population management is key to acquiring more culture, research, metal and production.


Have diplomacy with other space faring races
Make friends and enemies while traveling to outer realms. Form trade alliances, and defensive pacts to establish technology trade with other races. Make good diplomatic relations all other realms and win voting for ruler of the galaxy.


Deep space combat
Fight enemies with customizable ship designs. Ship components have their own hit points and energy requirements to use them. Components will be rendered useless if hitpoints are depleted or energy requirements are not met. This makes space battles dynamic. A lucky shot by allied ship to an enemies fusion reactor will make them immobile on the battlefield. Fleets with advanced technologies have significant advantages, however luck or number of ships can sway the battle in your favor.


Conquering the planets
Conquer enemy planets. Drop bombs to clear out enemy troops, then deploy your own ground troops to seize control. Regular space weapons can be used for causing suppression to defending troops.


Leaders
Each realm can have unique characters called leaders. These leaders can act as governors, fleet commanders and rulers. Each of the leader will gain perks which give bonus(negative or positive) on task they are performing. Leaders have limited life span and they will die for old age, but new ones can be replace the old one. Some rulers can have heirs which will eventually replace parents. These leaders can have also internal power struggles in certain government types.


The history
After a game players are given a quick overview of major galactic events and how other realms did during the game. There will be also history events of all major events that leaders did during their time in the game.


The Story
When you start the game, background story will be generated for your realm. At the end of the game you can see your realm's full story. There is also possible to see other realms' stories.
