Sword of the Stars - PC

SotS

I disagree with the Gamepro review. SotS was built from the ground up with multiplayer in mind. Up to 8 players can take part in network games; the AI can take over or step aside seamlessly as human players leave or enter the game. Annoying micromanagement, common to most 4X games, is abstracted. Do players care if the colonists on Tau Ceti 6 need an advanced Hydroponics Farm Mark VIII? I know I don't. The tech tree is random. So there is no best combination of techs to spam, you have to work with what you get. There are three ship sizes, the demo only allows the smallest (destroyers). Later techs allow more and bigger ships onto the field. The voices need work, but the game was also built to be moddable.
