Human history has had its ups and downs, as humans have equal capacity for cruelty and kindness. The United Federation is a corporate military organization, formed by the various governments on Earth to represent humanity as a whole. These races are trying to forge mighty empires amongst the stars, and win the game.īoring old humans. There is nine major factions in the game, representing ten races. So what's cool about it? Well, you can customize ships, races, research tons of neat tech, blow up sentient marijuana plants, strap laser beams to dinosaurs and lead them into battle, and even zombie plague bomb other planets. If you are like me, and really love the gameplay of MOO2, but can't deal with the ancient UI and screens, then this game should be right up your alley. Several of the menu's are exactly like MOO2, just with updated and modern graphics. This game is really, really, close to MOO2, I am talking quasi legally actionable close.


(With info shamelessly stolen from the wiki) I didn't see a post on this game, but StarDrive 2 is one guy's take on a modern day version of Master of Orion 2. Stardrive 2 features a mix of turn based strategy, real-time space battles, and turn-based tactical ground combat.

Starting with a single planet and a small number of space-worthy vessels, players forge out into the galaxy: exploring space, colonizing planets, negotiating with aliens and fighting enemies. StarDrive 2 is a 4X strategy game under development by Zero Sum Games where the goal is to build a space empire.
