It´s literally 4X Panzer General in Space made by the Devs of Panzer General (SSI). I play this game regularly since 1997. Still own the game on disc and play it on my Win98/ XP system but had trouble installing it on Win10/11 for game preservation - unlike Panzer General which can be played on modern systems from the fan made remake "Panzer General Forever". So why do i play this game for so long even though it´s core mechanics are outdated and the 4X aspect is almost non-existent in comparison with modern 4X games like Stellaris for example ? Because it´s simple, easy to lerarn, very addictive and a lot of fun, that´s why :-) Just seperate Tech-Levels for your ground troops and Spaceships. No tech trees needed you just buy them when available. 6 types of planetary buildings and merchant ships for your economy and that´s pretty much it. Sounds too simple ? My recommendation: Play on the largest Galaxy Map, medium to a lot of planets, every enemy race possible and give them at least advantage in the eco department. You will soon find out this game is simple but hard to master AND very addictive...just this one more planet...just this one more ship...just this one more round... Trust me, it´s the perfect chill and relax game after long workdays ;-) and worth the 5 or 6 Euro asking price. Enjoy this very old but still gold 4x Game. But you want to be a 19th-century super power country and aim to become ruler of the world by conquest or by vote you say ? You might be interested in "Imperialism" also available here on GOG. Fun fact: I also play this game since 1997 :p
