Indie developer Neogen2 has announced a new 4X space strategy game for PC, Star Lords, in which players lead an empire through exploring the stars, colonizing new worlds, manage their empire and conquering their enemies.
Star Lords features 8 races each with their own unique ships, technologies and playing style, tactical turn-based combat, in-depth Espionage/Intel and Diplomacy components, a complex AI that the developers promise won’t cheat, and a “living universe” featuring independent races and pirate clans. Gameplay will include LAN, hot seat and online multiplayer complete with matchmaking.
The game, which is due to be released Q4 2012, seems to strongly resemble Stardock’s Galactic Civilizations - check out the official site here.
