I've always loved games like Civilization and Endless space, but have you ever wanted a game that had both a civilization-like planet based layer in addition to an Endless Space-like space layer? Emperor of the Fading Suns does just that, and I've played it for over 20 years since I was in 3rd grade. During the whole time growing up, I've looked far and wide for a game that had both a space layer and planet layer to the gameplay, and I've not really found anything like EFS. But here's the big part: it's super easy to mod! You can just open the dat files with a text editor and create new units, change stats, whatever you like. In the old version, there are a bunch of great mods that give a lot more depth to the gameplay and fix some of the issues with the vanilla version. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE MODS. SERIOUSLY, THEY'RE GREAT! And the 1.5 Enhanced version comes with a map editor! So now the community can create their own maps and share them around - awesome! And now it's coming out with updates to the game after more than 20 years! Quality of life improvements, and increased modding ability, with continuing updates over the next few months planned! I'd just like to say thanks to GOG and and the developers for giving some more love to this game. I just can't get over the fact that now I can play this game for 20 more years with better capabilities!
