This is the king of the space conquest genre and it gets released today 12th of august, I can't wait to try it!, it has space battles, planetary battles, conquest, research, exploration 4X 
For people who liked games like Master of orion, Imperium Galactica II this game is for you. Don't buy into that Sword of the stars, it will never be as good as this or has the same kind of modding community as the Space empires series have.
This just in, the game will be released for online download through strategyfirst.com at the 25th.
The game has been postponed until october the 16th, so as to not dissapear in the masses of games getting released in september....only to appear amongst masses of games released in october lol strategyfirst your so funny

Ergh, those screenshots are horrendus. I'm not a graphics whore but Imperium Galactica 2 had better graphics and that came out years ago!

Nah thats just your memories playing tricks on you, I recently played it and it wasn't as I remembered it, anyway sword of the stars is more 'graphics' whereas this is more 'gameplay', if you try it you'll see what I mean.  |

Imperium Galactica had a dev team. SEV has one guy who does everything, and still manages to beat every other 4X game hands down when it comes to gameplay.

It's a shame he doesn't get some graphical help, i'm sure his games would be far more popular then.

Malfador Machinations which is basically just Aaron hall and his community team was recently bought by Strategy First, but Space Empires V was done by that time so we won't see the effect of that until Space Empires IV, but that should be really sweet as he now has a full team of artists and other programmers working with him.

I'm really looking forward to this. I hear they've (he's) even added ground combat just like in Imperium Galactica 2, which was one of the things I missed most in GalCiv 4.

So why doesnt he team up with a gfx dude and make this game better looking than all the other 4x gmaes as well as the gameplay?
Hell, myself i could (and have) make better looking planets and particle galaxies and stuff than whats in GalCiv2, SoTS, etc.
Yes the gameplay is important, but its like women, altough the personality is what will keep you there, you want something sexy to look at while you'r there..
