Star Dynasties is a sci-fi strategy game set in a divided galaxy following the destruction of Earth - plunging humanity into a new Dark Age. Centuries later, the few surviving colonies have stabilized into a feudal society. The game mixes a light empire management strategy layer with a unique procedurally generated narrative of human drama and feudal politics, where your choices will define your story.

As the leader of a faction of star systems, you must ensure the survival and prosperity of your dynasty at any cost. Expand your empire, herd your unruly vassals, build political alliances, and navigate a web of agendas, political intrigue, and social obligations to emerge as the dominant power of the galaxy.

^ Is there a bladder meter I'm missing in the screenshots?   ;D  Or are you just commenting on the art style?

Looks interesting.

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

No, just commenting. It sounds like it is all playing with people. If so, my daughter might get into it. She was breeding Sims or something back in the days of sim3. She really like setting up personalities  and turning them loose on each other and then managing the results.

Me, I hate people management. It was the WORST part of owning a business. And the second most critical.

I mean, have you played Crusader Kings?  It's basically medieval The Sims.

Yeah, strangely enough I liked CK2 better than EU4. This new game is not a Paradox product though, is it? I got the impression it was more people oriented.

This releases tomorrow. I'm definitely getting it, but I can't say I'm thrilled with the very light combat mechanics. From what I have seen, it doesn't look like the player controls much about battle other than asking vassals and other nobles to commit their forces to your attack or defensive operation. The player who is able to get the most vassals to join the cause seems to be the one who will usually win. Its way too abstract for me...but the rest of the game seems pretty intriguing.

JH, I am curious about this one and will await your comments before further action. I like Stellar Monarch and this games looks like a slicker version of it with less fleet control.

I look forward to a different kind of gameplay. Should be a fairly relaxing experience.
