I just rediscovered this gem after revisiting the old DosBox game Reunion. It astounds me that this game was made in 1999!! It has all the elements of modern sci fi strategy games, and I'm pretty sure Galactic Civilization and even the later Civ games took a few notes from this classic. For its year made, the graphics are awe-inspiring, 3D, detailed, well-designed and the gameplay is complex and amazing. It does have a little bit of a learning curve. It's basically, to me, an empire-building game. The stronger your planets, the better off you are. An absolute must for anyone who loves strategy, is a fan of Civilization, Colonization, or the Gal Civ series. Beautifully made and I hope they make a sequel.
