Space Civ?

[_Scorpious]

Does anyone know or have news of a space based Civ III/IV style TURN BASED 4x game, either out or in production? I am itching for a BOTF style game, with a bit more to it. galactic Civ games don't really do it for me, so any info would be appreciated! P.S. dont have BTS, so no can do for the star trek mod for Civ IV i've seen on here.

Would GalCiv 2 do it for you?

Master of Orion 2? Old, but it seems to be liked by those who dig that sci-fi stuff.

I've tried Gal Civ I and II, not really what I'm after, am thinking more along the lines of Birth of the Federation, but bigger in terms of content and customisablity.

This may be the thing that finally pushes me to make a mod for one of the games.

Sins of solar empire? It's not turnbased, but it has the same scope and pace as a typical TBS-game. And that's what matters in my opinion.

Sins of a Solar Empire is a suprisingly fun game. I usually do not like RTS games but SoSE has quite slowpaced combat so it does not have the hectic feel many games of the genre do. if you are looking for Battlestar Galactica or Star Wars type battles you might very well like this one.

master of orion 2 is available for digital download at the atari website, it costs about ten bucks.

good game imo.

I'm a big fan of Sword of the Stars. It might be a bit combat oriented compared to many 4X games, but the two expansions (Born in Blood and A Murder of Crows) have added a lot more detail to the other facets of the game (economy, diplomacy etc).

6 very distinct races (even down to their methods of FTL travel being different), a good sized tech tree, customisable ships (not quite to GalCiv levels, but you've got plenty of flexibility) and the best space battles since Homeworld. The galatcic map is turn based, but the battles are RT.

I'd say Space Empire IV Deluxe, it's similar to MOO2 in that it's 2D and you can control your own battles or let the AI auto resolve it.

It's about ten bucks on steam.

Stay away from Space Empires V though, unless you like 3D.
