Which can help to flush enemies out of cover, because no one wants to be a sitting duck!
You can go stealth with a cloaking system to stay hidden on the enemy's turn, and there are torpedos you can fire, that travel in a straight line from turn to turn, until you choose to manually detonate them. Yeah, ships are better shielded at the front, so you'll do more damage if you hit from behind. But there's a layer of smaller tactical considerations too. Turns are fairly simple, with the option to move within a limited range, and take some shots at the enemy. These hex based maps usually have a central planet circled by asteroids - the asteroids working as cover for your ships, blocking both passage and weapons targeting. As more planets join your federation, your borders expand, until you control 51% of the galaxy's population and win the game.Īnd who doesn't want to conquer the galaxy!? The missions you do at each planet are mostly small combat encounters. From here you move to nearby systems to complete missions and gain influence. You begin the game on a home planet, with two ships at your command. Starships was developed by a small team at Firaxis under the direct guidance of Sid Meier - in fact, he's even listed as one of the programmers! And it does feel like a bit of a pet project. We built this city on rock and rolllllllllll Well, now that universe has expanded, with the turn-based tactics of Sid Meier's Starships. Thanks Goose! Last year we reviewed the sci-fi spin-off to Sid Meier's Civilization series, Beyond Earth.
