Galaxy Kings is not an arcade or shooting game where you kill aliens. The game is turn based, i.e. the game server makes a turn, sends you a report, you analyse the report using an existing Report Viewer application, create your orders and send them back to the server. It reminds a chess game, but you play against many other players at the same time. The game server simulates an expanding universe with already thousands of star systems and a number of races. Some of the races are ruled by the real human players, some – by the server (AI nations). You may join as a new race (or nation). In this case you’ll be placed in some sector of an existing galaxy, having just one planet and some initial resources to start. Then you will try to research and occupy the nearby systems, design and build various ships, negotiate with your neighbours… You also may join to an existing race which has no owner.
Some closer look at the galaxy Q1 showing the star systems belogning to Antares and Cornwall. Dark blue lines show destinations of ships currently in space. Light blue lines show the destinations of just launched ships.
