Sid Meier's Starships Steam CD Key
Sid Meier's Starships is the next installment of the popular series of turn-based strategies. This time, however, we leave the surface of the planets and move to outer space - this is where we try to defeat other factions. Unlike the immediate predecessor, Civlization: Beyond Earth, in Starships we do not manage a colony in an alien world, but a fleet of ships. The game is developed by a team created by the Firaxis Games studio, headed by Sid Meier himself, the creator of the series.
Starships begins when human civilization receives a call for help from a distant planet. Without hesitating, earthly leaders decide to send an armed expedition to help an unknown sender. After reaching the destination, we must not only achieve the main goal, but also carry out side missions that will save the inhabitants of a distant galaxy from extinction. The whole story takes place shortly after the events of Beyond Earth, which is why we will meet the leaders known from the previous installment of the series.
The game differs in its assumptions from its predecessors - not only takes us into outer space, but also forces a different approach to the game. Instead of building an intergalactic empire, our primary task is to protect individual planets and combat regularly emerging threats. The fight itself takes place on the basis of a turn-based system, and each of the tasks takes place on a separate map, the vast majority of which is procedurally generated. After completing the required number of missions in a given sector, it becomes attached to our intergalactic federation. Then we can build our own buildings in its area, improving the economy of the empire.
Due to the action taking place in space, Starships lacks classic units and has been replaced by powerful ships. The player can freely modify and improve them, e.g. by increasing the thickness of the armor or speed, or by adding the masking ability. We will also create some of the units ourselves from scratch, deciding not only about their combat capabilities, but also their shape and appearance. Traditionally, there is a technology tree in the game. Many of the branches of science and development are entirely fictional and based on futurological guesswork. Traditionally, victory can be achieved in several ways, i.e. by eliminating opponents, taking over a sufficiently large part of the galaxy, building the required number of so-called miracles or achieving a significant scientific advantage.
Starships is based on a graphics engine that has already been used in Civilization V and Civilization: Beyond Earth. Due to the fact that they are intended not only for desktop computers, but also for mobile devices, the creators decided to simplify the production, allowing less advanced equipment to support the production.
