Stellar Realms - the online game of interstellar conquest
Folks,
I recently played a round of a quite cool online game with v. little time commitment (and no graphics required!)... sort of resource management/conflict/diplomacy thing going on.
Anyway, it's here:
http://www.stellar-realms.com
The next round starts this weekend (Saturday 21st IIRC), but registration and the ability to choose your species and create your planet is there already. It's all good fun, and last round I managed to finish 8th out of about 60 planets... not too bad for a beginner. And if you get really in to it you can start posting in character in the forums there.
I'm about to create my planet for the next round - I'll let you know what it's called when I'm done and let's see if we can get a little bit of a MURC alliance going
Here's the blurb from the site:
Hope to see you there!

(PS when creating a planet, last round I found that research was by far my biggest constraint. Read the help files on different species before blindly committing like I did last time
)

What is Stellar Realms?
Stellar Realms is an online, multiplayer strategy game in a science-fiction setting.
The object is to accumulate as much prestige as possible, through various means, in the period of 400 game-years.
This can be accomplished through construction, research, diplomacy, and occasionally, military action.
One month in the Stellar Realms universe constitutes a turn, and represents 20 minutes of "real-world" time. Therefore, a full 400-year round is accomplished in 66 real-world days. I think it's actually now 300 years so 7 weeks real time per round - Gnep
There are over 20 playable species, each with their unique blend of technologies, focus and philosophies.
Play styles can be quite diverse; play an avid technophile, xenophobic zealot, crafty diplomat, shrewd arms-merchant or militaristic bully, it's up to you. But keep in mind, there's only room for ONE planet at the top of the galactic prestige chart!
