Build a civilization to survive in an RPG style world in Elemental: Reforged. Start the game by creating a unique character, setting up your opponents and entering a randomly generated world with the objective of finding and controlling the shards of magic. With each shard you capture, your power will grow unlocking more powerful spells and abilities. But be mindful for the other civilizations share your ambition.

Reforged – Long ago, Stardock sought to create the ultimate fantasy civilization game. It was called Elemental. In this game, every unit was singular with its own unique items and equipment. Players could design their own cities, leveraging the resources and magic of the world. The world itself was transformable through magic with players able to mold it to their liking. The technical challenges in getting all this to fit into a 32-bit engine led the game to being re-designed and ultimately released in 3 different games that focused on key elements of the design: War of Magic, Fallen Enchantress, and Sorcerer King.

Now, thanks to a remastered 64-bit engine, Stardock has finally been able to take the best parts of the three games and bring them together; as well as add features that were cut before War of Magic was released including building cities to leverage the magic of the world.

Conquer the Old World in this historical, epic strategy game from Soren Johnson, Lead Designer of Civilization IV and Offworld Trading Company. Every year is a turn, and each leader is a mere mortal, so your lasting legacy will be the dynasty you leave behind.

Game Features

• Orders – Orders are a resource used to issue commands across your nation. Instead of moving every unit every turn, as is traditional in 4X games, each unit can be moved as many times as desired, until the player runs out of Orders. There are many other ways to spend this resource: Combat, Construction, Events, Diplomacy, and so on.
• Legitimacy – Each ruler must prove that they are worthy of the throne. As you accomplish Ambitions, finish Wonders, and gain renown (as “the Wise” or “the Avenger” or “the Peacemaker”), your Legitimacy increases, granting additional Orders each year and improving your standing with the people.
• Succession – Every turn in Old World represents a year, and the rulers are mortals who won’t last forever. They will need to get married and produce an heir to continue their line. When a ruler dies, the heir who takes the throne chooses a new Ambition to make a new name for him/herself.
• Events – Old World has a powerful and deep dynamic event system that generates a procedural story for your nation based on your decisions, your accomplishments, and your characters. The game has over 1,000 unique events, many of which are inspired by historical events from the period. These events give characters Memories, Traits, and Relationships, which can then trigger later events, so be careful what you choose.
• Ambitions – Your dynasty achieves victory by fulfilling 10 Ambitions, each one more difficult than the last. These Ambitions are dynamically generated from the Events of your game and the desires of your Characters. No two games will ever play out the same way, and the wise ruler will know when to change direction.
• Territories – Cities form cohesive blocks of territory, with an urban center and rural hinterlands. Each improvement occupies a single tile, including Wonders and urban buildings, such as Shrines, Amphitheaters, and Garrisons. This territory grows based on where the player constructs improvements and trains specialists on the map.

Included DLCs:

• Empires of the Indus
• Wrath of Gods
• Behind the Throne
• Wonders and Dynasties
• Pharaohs of the Nile
• The Sacred and The Profane
• Heroes of the Aegean

From the developers of Warhammer 40,000: Gladius, ZEPHON is a post-apocalyptic 4X strategy game built on Proxy’s unique tactical combat system. Guide survivors through a turbulent future, navigating unexpected disasters, eldritch horror and cyberpunk monstrosities. What will you do to survive?

Humanity emerges, hesitantly, into ruination. Almost nothing is left of the world as we knew it-settlements, forests, seas, mountains-all have been blasted into unfamiliarity. Horribly mutated animals hunt in packs through deformed woodland. Decrepit military robots stumble unknowingly through the ruins, sensors and logic centres blown. Alien soldiers, once impossibly powerful, cower in the wrecks of their ships, praying to heedless gods for rescue.

Control the survivors of humanity in a near-future apocalypse of alien origin. Pick a path between the indifferent abominations of the Voice and the uncaring automata of ZEPHON, with city management, turn-based tactical combat, unholy research, diplomatic maneuvering, and branching narrative quests. Gather your allies and pick your actions wisely.

On the planet Earth, that was once a cradle of life, the extinction of humanity is at hand.

[i]What will you do to survive?[/i]

Game Features

• BATTLE – Intense turn-based survival strategy in both single and multiplayer. Command over 50 unique units in battle-each with its own graphics, voice overs, weapon systems and sets of traits and abilities. Plan out optimal build orders amongst 3 asymmetric paths-Human, Voice and Cyber-or combine them in surprising ways. Deploy tactical operations-interference protocols, otherworldly hymns of decay and even nuclear weapons-to gain an advantage. Combat occurs on the main map-no switching modes and having to auto-resolve battles because they drag on too long. Use distinctive leader abilities in fully-featured multiplayer-with or against your friends.
• BUILD – Take your settlements from scrappy bases to sprawling metropolises as your faction expands its sphere of influence. Find and grow your cities by constructing buildings on tiles-everything you build needs space. Optimize an empire-wide economy with 11 tiered resources-allowing you to specialize cities by their placement. Recognize each building by its appearance-3 architecture styles to accompany your chosen path. Fortify key strategic points to prevent enemies from assailing your positions-sometimes defense is the best defense.
• EXPLORE – Traverse the unfamiliarity of the destroyed Earth and unveil its deadly new secrets. Discover dozens of terrain features and phenomena spread across 6 climates-flesh trees, microchip factories, traveling sandstorms, erupting volcanoes and much more. Tune the generation of a new post-apocalyptic game world-cliffsides, ruins and deformed woodland occupied by violent wildlife and expanding NPCs acting out their own agendas. Exterminate packs of mutated animals to collect caches full of rewards, capture outposts and expand your reach-one turn at a time.
• RESEARCH – As mankind strives to catch up to the new masters of the Earth, you’ll make strange new discoveries that could be just what you need to survive. Unlock over 150 technologies spread across 10 tiers-units, buildings, operations, weapons, abilities and passive bonuses. Advance from post-apocalyptic survivalism-through a blend of magic and cyberpunk aesthetics-before achieving transhuman transcendence. Observe each unit upgrade visualized on the model-outfit regular, large and titanic units with cruise missiles, tunneling nails, deflector shields, and much more. Read exact modifier numbers in tooltips and the easy-to-browse in-game compendium-so you don’t have to scour the internet for information.
• NEGOTIATE – Diplomatic negotiations are key to staving off defeat-but your opponents are watching your actions and reacting. Roleplay with AI-controlled opponents through diplomatic encounters-each AI comes with their own likes and dislikes based on their character. Establish peace, trading agreements and alliances-or use your influence to antagonize your friends towards each other. Choose sides-ZEPHON, Acrin and Reaver non-player factions permeate the world and need to be contended with.
• DECIDE – As the clash between ZEPHON and the Acrin continues, your choice of Leader and path will determine who survives in the wreckage of Earth. Steer your empire through multistage, branching, unexpected events-nightmares, cries for help and economic crashes all have to be dealt with. Dive into your chosen leader’s backstory through their unique quest chain-complete it to unlock a permanent reward. Play a key part in determining if humanity, machines or horrors prevail-the clash between ZEPHON and Acrin continues across the planet. Resolve the prophecy that has brought the Acrin to Earth to unlock new game modifiers-all of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.

Included DLCs/Bonuses:

• Supporter Upgrade
• Digital Artbook & Wallpapers

Sins of a Solar Empire II is the sequel to the critically acclaimed space strategy game that seamlessly blends real-time battle tactics with the depth of 4X. As both emperor and battle commander you must lead one of six playable factions to victory against the threat of extinction!

There are no turns. There is no battle mode. There is no strategic mode. It’s all one mode and it’s all in real-time.

Instantly zoom in to control tactical engagements where every missile, turret, and ship is fully simulated and an important part of the battle. Instantly zoom back out to manage your empire where every asteroid, moon, and planet orbits its parent in a slowly evolving strategic landscape.

Sins of a Solar Empire II delivers sprawling empires, huge fleets, and completely new and exciting gameplay moments that can only be found in Sins II.

6 Playable Factions: The parent races are further differentiated by unique sub-factions each with their own unique features and play styles that reflect their motivations and goals. For example, the TEC: Primacy is a xenophobic ‘human first’ empire focused on aggression and the Vasari: Exodus is willing to destroy planets to fuel their mobile empire.

Combat Simulation: A detailed combat simulation adds incredible depth to tactical gameplay. Turrets with their own pitch and tracking speeds make firing solutions important in battles. Fully simulated missiles can be blocked by ships or destroyed by point defense. New mechanics around shields, armor and hull points give greater depth to units and tactical decisions.

Empire Management: All planets and ships can now be easily analyzed, customized, and upgraded in one place without the tedium of finding and clicking through all units in your empire. The Intelligent Construction system will queue up the entire chain of prerequisites to fulfill any item, research, or unit build request.

Fleet Management: The new fleet system includes the ability to request specific reinforcements on the fly. Requested units are automatically queued from the optimal factory and rallied to the fleet. Combined with Intelligent Construction this allows you to focus on the important tactical decisions and big picture strategy.

Unit Customization: Planet surfaces can now be customized with special items that vary by race and planet type. Capital ships, titans and starbases can also be customized with race specific items to fill gaps in the fleet’s composition or target specific strategies.

Minor Factions: Numerous minor factions now inhabit the galaxy offering trade, auctions for rare items, and with enough influence, access to their most powerful abilities. Will you befriend them or annihilate them to keep your enemies from turning them against you?

Diplomacy: New features include a new offer / counteroffer system, the ability to give or demand planets, and the game changing time locked cease-fires that prevent your ‘ally’ from backstabbing you until it expires – but keep on eye on the time!

Multicore 64-bit Engine: The Sins II engine can utilize all available cores and RAM to maximize performance, now and into the future. Dynamic lighting, physically based rendering, higher resolution textures and more create a beautiful tapestry.

10-Player Multiplayer Support: A cloud based online system supports both ‘join codes’ and lobbies to make it easier than ever to play with others. Games can now be rejoined in progress if a player drops or has to leave; humans can even take over for AI players if a friend joins late.

In-game Mod Support: Mod support has been integrated into the game, making it easy to discover, install, and share mods. Custom maps are automatically shared for multiplayer games, preventing the hassle of everyone downloading ahead of time.

Easy to Learn; Hard to Master: With an elegant and intuitive user interface Sins II is easy to pick up and play. However, mastering your chosen faction will take true skill.

Game Features

• The Surprise: Build a secondary fleet on a rogue asteroid and launch a devastating surprise attack when its orbit brings it behind the enemy’s back line.
• The Body Block: Stall an enemy’s home planet bombardment by using your massive titan to body block swarms of missiles attempting to knock out your starbase and its critical planetary shield.
• The Screen: Advance a screen of point defense flak frigates to protect your fragile long-range cruisers by intercepting incoming bombers and missiles.
• The Swarm: Maneuver your faster moving ships to pick apart unescorted larger ships. Their powerful but slow-moving turrets simply can’t track your agile strike force.
• The Influencer: Influence a hostile expansionist Minor Faction to secure your border while reserving enough Influence to win an auction for a powerful item to install on your best capital ship.
• The Backstab: Protect yourself from a backstab by establishing a time locked alliance. But pay attention to the time – your “ally” may move his fleet to your doorstep just as the lock expires!
• A Dynamic Galaxy: Planets orbit their stars in real-time causing the galaxy’s structure to slowly change, creating new battle fronts and new opportunities. Players can view the state of the galaxy up to an hour in the future to prepare their strategies.
• 3 Unique Races: It’s War Year 35 and the emergent TEC, alien Vasari, and deviant Advent have been forced to adapt and evolve to survive.
• TEC: The inhabitants of this region of the galaxy, the TEC are humans who have joined together as the Trader Emergency Coalition to combat the alien Vasari empire. They rely heavily on trade to support their industrial base and augment resource income.
• Vasari: Ten thousand years ago, the Vasari Empire once ruled over hundreds of planets and dozens of sentient species. Now on the run from an unknown enemy they use their mastery of phase space to conquer and acquire resources to continue their exodus.
• Advent: A civilization of humans who were forcibly outcast by the Traders over a thousand years ago, the deviant Advent have returned with technologically amplified psionics and the power of the Unity – a devastating expression of their collective will.
• TEC Trade: The new TEC trade system enables them to dynamically adapt their economy by adjusting the allocation of traded resources on demand.
• Vasari Phase Resonance: Strategically placed structures collect Phase Resonance allowing the Vasari to customize their global phase mastery effects.
• Advent Unity: Enables the Advent to harness the collective will of their population, unlocking the full potential of the Unity’s global abilities.
