![]() that you would normally be asked to micro in a typical 4X - your role as emperor is to set the large policy, and if it's not being enforced well, find leaders who will do a better job! They build the mines, farms, energy facilities, etc. in systems that are then assigned to the colonies by the system governor. You eXploit by nudging your planets and systems to certain outputs by using Designations like Power, Domination, Expansion, Domestic Growth, Subjugation, etc. You eXpand by claiming stars that you have influence over - but you don't micromanage a colony, you simply create a Project to build a new colony of a specific type, and your people do the work (and migrate there themselves, or not if it's located in a pit of a planet). You can do all the 4X stuff - but for example you don't micromanage your scouts to explore, you set up eXploration expeditions on a special tactical map and let them do their thing. The design is such that you should rule from the top-down, through 2 main levers: Projects, which affect planets, systems, and provinces, and are generally how you 'build' things in Alliance, and Actions, where you interact directly with your rulers and leaders in the Empire to get things done. So your job is simple: Either unite all the other Houses under your banner while expanding your empire to withstand external threats *spoiler!* or find a way to live forever so that your house never has to give up the throne. Your main job is to restore the Celestial Empire, and you play directly as the emperor (or empress) who can not have children and thus, when you die, the Great Houses that make up the Empire will fight a civil war for your throne that will most likely tear the Empire apart for good. It appears complex because there is a ton of information you can access and drill into, but at its heart it's a 4x combined with an RPG. So we're making much more progress per month now than we were even 3 or 4 months ago. The game has been in development for quite a while, but our (formerly one and two man) team is now up to 5 core people with several other people helping with different parts. It's a steep learning curve, but we're doing our best to flatten it out. Created by /u/Kryogenetics, it's a collage of some of the 4X genre's greatest games: Endless Legend, Civilization, Endless Space and Galactic Civilizations. ![]() If you have any questions about the rules or need clarification please do not hesitate to message the moderators and ask!.Please do not post subsequent episodes or parts.
