The tech tree is visually reminiscent of the Master of Orion series but works in a very different way. Part of the quest system is the choice of specific rewards (free tech or resources) as well as the creation of wonders (improved torpedoes, shields, improved stealth) when a planet joins your empire. Once you arrive, you are given a brief introduction and a mission/quest (usually something to do with space pirates/marauders) and, upon the successful completion of the mission, you begin to trade with this new planet as you try to bring it under your control. That’s how it all begins.Īfter receiving a signal from a neighboring planet, you send your fleet to make first contact. Each affinity also brings something unique, such as Supremacy’s random wonder. For example, Bolivar adds an extra ship to the starting fleet, and Kavitha starts with six cities on her homeworld. Each leader brings a unique trait no, more like a bonus. The leaders have physically changed to one of the three affinities: Harmony, Supremacy or Purity. You begin the game as one of the eight leaders from Civ:BE on a random planet with five cities on it (more on that later). So, let’s see how they turned out.ĮXplore: In Sid Meier’s Starships (SMS), exploration is very simple. Each colony ship seeded a new human population that followed a similar development path. It’s a galaxy populated by human survivors of the Great Cataclysm on Earth. Do you remember all the colony ships that were sent from Earth in search of new habitable planets? Well, that’s where this title picks up. Sid Meier’s Starships takes place about 1000 years after the events of Civ:BE. Did it crash and burn on the launch pad or soar into outer space? Keep reading. A first personal attempt at sci-fi that he called Starships. Meanwhile, Sid Meier, the father of modern 4X and namesake of the franchise, was secretly working on a new project. Instead of departing Earth to parts unknown, they recolored the planet, transformed the barbarians to addled aliens, removed any and all personality from the leaders, and gave us a dud. It was an ambitious attempt that misfired at launch due to its similarities to Civilization V: Brave New World and a general lack of innovation, or “risks” as the developers put it.
