A methodical and accessible turn-based empire-building game where you carefully expand a colony and compete for dominance through economy, culture, or warfare.

What players say

Players praise the AI as surprisingly competent for a 90s game, and the gameplay holds up as a quick, challenging 4X with more city management than Alpha Centauri. Most need to delete a DLL file to launch the game, and sound often breaks on modern systems.
