I had a look at Star Dynasties, but its website does a great job at not telling me anything about the actual game and how it plays. It could be interesting, but at this point there’s really no way to know.

yeah, that’s realy a good point, the website is strange. i’m still trying to find out if it’s online/offline game and/or singleplayer/multiplayer

GermanDad, the game is offline singleplayer. I’ll make that clearer on the website, thanks for pointing it out.

Hey, thanks for pointing this out, it was in my blind spot. I should put up a gameplay video on the site itself, that would be useful. In the meantime, you might find this let’s play interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yE-EcPBDww

Star Dynasties looks interesting. don’t see problems with the “feudal” part, thats just the form of goverment, has not necessary to do with tech.

Interesting show as always, thanks guys!
Stellaris is mod-friendly and popular enough that someone, sometime, will create a “Your Dad” faction which introduces itself by saying, “What do you call it when someone throws a vial of blood at you?”
“A plasma weapon!”
“HAR HAR HAR HAR!”
I’m looking forward to it, with some trepidation.
Like many others, I am following the Star Control lawsuit with a mixture of fascination and sadness. Knock on wood, I have never yet been accused of being a lawyer, so I’m following this guy:

He *is* a lawyer, or at least plays one on the internet, and so far has been enjoyably dumbing the whole thing down for us plebs.
