Lords of the Black Sun Steam

ABOUT THE GAME

Take command of one race to join the struggle for supremacy in the
galaxy. As the leader of your empire you are tasked with exploring
the stars, colonizing new worlds, managing your empire and
conquering whoever dares to oppose you.

The galaxy is full of secrets and dangers: Discover ancient ruins
and artifacts, repel or befriend pirates, promote a general to
guide your fleets to victory. Concoct complex plots with your
allies or use your intelligence services to uncover weak spots on
that threatening empire whose leader has vowed to destroy you.

Make sure to keep your population happy or be prepared to face
protests against your rule, or in a worst case scenario, rebel
factions within your empire.

Only the mightiest rulers can prevail in the depths of space. Are
you up to the task of becoming a Lord of the Black Sun ?

KEY FEATURES

• 8 major races each with their own ship designs, technologies,
  unique traits and unique abilities, meaning playing with each race
  is a different challenge and offers new ways to approach the
  game.
• Big, living universe: In addition to the major powers,
  independent races and pirate clans also claim the galaxy as their
  residence; their existence can be an annoyance, or a blessing if
  you can take advantage of them.
• Deep economical and political layer: War isn’t the only way to
  weaken your rivals. Diplomacy, inteligence and trade can be one of
  many powerful tools that, if used properly, can be very effective
  as well.
• Tactical Turn based combat.
• Create and customize your own ship designs.
• Generals: These unique and powerful units evolve as they battle
  and if used well can be the difference between defeat and
  victory.
• Randomly generated universe, tech tree and units: You will
  never play the same game twice.
• Empire shattering: Unrest might lead rebels to start a civil
  war which in turn might lead to the creation of a new, independent
  empire that might grow to rival your own.
• Plotting: Secretly finance a war against your rivals in order
  to weaken them or prepare a surprise joint war along with your
  allies in a bid to destroy that frighteningly fast growing
  empire.
• Beware of spies and whistleblowers though; your plot might be
  uncovered before you put it in action and the consequences can be
  dire.
• Domestic Policies: Rule your empire as you wish. Turning it
  into a dystopia, a utopia or something in between, it’s up to
  you.
• Human-like AI that doesn’t cheat and plays by the same rules as
  human players, while presenting a constant challenge.
