DESCRIPTION

Enter isolated skirmishes and large-scale battles, on the surface of strange planets and in the void of deep space through Imperium Galactica II: Alliances, a sequel to the 1996 3D real-time strategy. The game is designed to provide a broad, seamless galaxy for players to explore, colonize, defend, and conquer on their own terms. A variety of options allow players to focus on the aspects of gameplay they find most appealing while the computer handles other duties and micro-management.

The game combines elements of classic empire-building games like Master of Orion and groundbreaking real-time strategy titles like Homeworld into a new, more comprehensive experience of space faring culture. Three races vie for control in this universe; the inquisitive humans, the militaristic Kra'hen, and the diplomatic Shinari. Each seeks to capitalize on its strengths and perhaps exploit the weaknesses of the others, though each has its own unique end goal. Players can guide any of the three through a fully developed storyline whose final chapter they ultimately will determine themselves. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
