I have no clue what game this is. All I have is my memory of it. I want to play it again, but having no idea what the game is does put a damper on things.
The game is played in a turn based playing style the exact same way as Civilization is.
The game is played in space but is similar to Civilization in that you build cities, military, wonders, various victory conditions, and have the "world map" (which is really the map of the known universe.) When you get to the edge of the "world map" it's just an impassable reddish area.
You can play a variety of races, but I only played the Humans. Cities (I forget what they were called in this scenario) were best built by planets. You couldn't really build a city where there were no planets. A worker? I think it was a worker could build a "road" to cities which looked like a blue dashed line.
You could research technology in the same way as you do in Civilization and I'm pretty sure there were eras. However, unlike in Civilization you could select a technology waaaaaaaaay waaaaaaaaaay down the road and the game would research all you needed to research until you hit that technology. I remember this because there was a technology that allowed you to build a certain unit. It resembles the Death Star in Star Wars, and it's offensive and defensive stats were so high that you could pretty much conquer everyone really really easily. So if you were the first to get this tech a conquest victory was practically in the bag.
I *think* this game was an alternate scenario to a Civilization game because I remember that to start a game you had to click on the "load scenario" button and select the scenario file. However I'm not 100% sure about this.
Similar to Civilization games, if you were to enter the city radius of another race they would ask you to leave or declare war. Same goes with another race entering your city radius, you can ask them to leave. There was no "culture barrier" like there is in Civ 3 and 4 so it was very similar to Civ 2.
That's all the information I remember about the game at the moment. If someone could help me figure out exactly what I played so I could play it again, it would be wonderful!
