Distant Worlds 2 incoming will be a beast just look at webpage at Steam.
Imperium Galactica 2 and its not even close.
its very close, a lot of these games kick assImperium Galactica 2 and its not even close.
You obviously never played aurora.space empires iv is good. very atmospheric, very customizable, good amount of depth that's almost comparable to aurora. space empires is not nearly as autistic as aurora, but it's close
Actually is SE IV better than V? I remember it had shitty interface and bad graphic.space empires iv is good. very atmospheric, very customizable, good amount of depth that's almost comparable to aurora. space empires is not nearly as autistic as aurora, but it's close
if you want to have it in such a poll you should add Shadow Empire (also a single planet sci-fi 4x) which is roughly milion times more complex and much better (it is also better than SMAC, but people dont wont to hear it so w/e),
What in the fuck did you just say.
How can a 4X be better than SMAC?
Elaborate!
That often leads to excessive micromanagement.Shadow Empire has massive amount of detail invested into pretty much every aspect
A very British understatement, to say the least.(though you could say diplomacy is a bit weak)
Only they don't (matter, because half the skills are useless and you can't really affect the meeples' development, so no Sims/CK for you). But you'll be able to enjoy glorious DF-style character generation and see ingenious streetfighters leading research institutions and gritty female generals.you can create your own cabinet from people with stats that both matter and develop over time
If you dare to brave the obnoxious UI and like to play rock-paper-scissors with Social Engineering sliders (about third of which does nothing, because main dev is too lazy to finish them for years).you can set detailed policies both on the state, province and municipal level
Also have fun razing your rail network to build mag tubes, because they can't be placed in one hex.you get to build vast planet-wide infrastructure systems that can bankrupt you if you dont pay attention to what is happening
Experience goody huts and barbarians like never before! Again!there is the sense of exploration as you discover ancient artefacts or even alien lifeforms
If only they were able to debelop and don't get steamrolled by tank rush in almost every game ever.there is detailed warfare with hostile factions that actively try to cut your supply lines...
For example you don't need to bother with aviation, because your spies are much more effective, don't depend on infrastructure and you can spam whole planet with them for a marginal cost.it sure has its flaws but IMO it outperforms SMAC where it matters.
By the amount of bugs!I realise that SMAC is great game and it gets even better when looked at through the nostalgia glasses, but I am ready to say it was outmatched.
Try and see
Indeed.Fascinating.

Fascinating.
I will try this Shadow Empire game on your recommendation and see what is up with it.
Outperforming SMAC, a bold claim... we shall see...
