Spies have a level and experience and you can even make them "specialize" in some actions. Spies are recruited at intelligence centers. You will need spies for completing a great number of your quests. Apart from gathering information your spies can also be used for various offensive actions on foreign grounds: they can sabotage buildings, ships, or even attempt assassinations. If your spies get caught, however, you can get in some trouble, and if you send too many spies to one empire it will probably declare war on you. Diplomacy also allows you to exchange or trade technologies and planets.Įspionage will allow you to reach certain information that you wouldn't be able to acquire in another way. Your diplomatic stance will depend on your overall power: You will be an equal partner in deals with those of approximately same strength you will be able to put those weaker than you under pressure, or grovel before those who are in advantage. Diplomacy allows you to solve disputes in a peaceful manner. You will often have to use diplomacy and espionage in settling scores. If you set the taxes too high or make the people unhappy for some other reason they will start rebelling, which will induce additional expenses.
The taxes can be set for each planet individually, or for the whole empire. The more content your citizens are the higher taxes they will be willing to pay. This is why you will have a great number of civilian objects at your disposal. If you keep building only industrial and military complexes the people will become unhappy and start leaving the planet. The people (or whatever you choose instead of them) will inhabit it only if its living conditions are good. First, you will have to explore the surrounding space in order to find planets suitable for colonization. You start the campaign with only one planet, a small fleet and some credits to finance your empire.
The authors claim that it is virtually impossible to play the same game twice because the campaigns are randomly generated (If anyone out there is sufficiently persistent to try that out he might let us know if it is true ). Each of the races has its own features as well one specially enhanced characteristic, which will usually influence the tactics you will have to choose. Initially, you have to choose one of the three races available that you will lead during the rest of the game. You can do this either by using raw power, diplomacy or trade. The ultimate goal is creating a space empire and achieving supremacy over all other races. It could be described as a potpourri of a creation sim, a game of exploration and a 3D real-time strategy. Some games are easy classified by genre some are a mixture of standard genres. Players can guide any of the three through a fully developed storyline whose final chapter they ultimately will determine themselves. Each seeks to capitalize on its strengths and perhaps exploit the weaknesses of the others, though each has its own unique end goal. Three races vie for control in this universe the inquisitive humans, the militaristic Kra'hen, and the diplomatic Shinari. The game combines elements of classic empire-building games like Master of Orion and groundbreaking real-time strategy titles like Homeworld into a new, more comprehensive experience of space faring culture. A variety of options allow players to focus on the aspects of gameplay they find most appealing while the computer handles other duties and micro-management. The game is designed to provide a broad, seamless galaxy for players to explore, colonize, defend, and conquer on their own terms. Enter isolated skirmishes and large-scale battles, on the surface of strange planets and in the void of deep space through Imperium Galactica II: Alliances, a sequel to the 1996 3D real-time strategy.
