NOW OUT: The Political Machine 2024

May 2 - [SD] redskittlesonly | 0 Comments

New Political Strategy Game puts players in this year’s race for the White House

The Political Machine 2024, the newest edition of its popular political strategy game series, released today. The game allows players to step into the shoes of presidential candidates, including Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, Bill Clinton and countless other candidates from history, or create their own.

"The Political Machine 2024 presents itself as a game but has proven to be an accurate representation of players’ political leanings," said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock Entertainment. "Previous versions of the game have accurately predicted the outcome of past elections, such as the fact that Ohio would be the key state in 2004 and Trump’s victory in 2016.”

New to The Political Machine 2024 is the inclusion of the primaries in which several candidates compete for their party’s nomination. Presidential debates have also been added to allow players to test their knowledge of current events and how to gain favor with their political base.

While the game’s singleplayer AI plays with great savvy, Stardock has made sure that the game also remains a strong multiplayer game as well.

“In previous editions, players could play against each other one-on-one to win the White House,” said Wardell. “With the inclusion of primaries, several players of the same party can go at it. It’s a touch of mayhem.”

Sins of a Solar Empire II Releasing on Steam this Summer

May 1 - [SD] redskittlesonly | 1 Comments

Sequel to beloved strategy title features new asymmetric playstyles, dynamically changing maps, deeper tactical combat, expanded strategic depth, and more

The battle for galactic supremacy continues as Stardock and Ironclad Games will bring Sins of a Solar Empire II to Steam this Summer. Sins of a Solar Empire II seamlessly combines real-time strategy and 4X depth, delivering sprawling empires, huge tactical fleet battles, and unforgettable gameplay moments that can only be found in Sins II. Interested players can add the game to their wishlists now.

Check out our gameplay trailer:

In Sins of a Solar Empire II, players must guide their faction against the threat of extinction with three distinct races: the Trader Emergency Coalition, the Vasari Empire, or the Advent Unity. Each race has been updated with their own asymmetric playstyle including unique starting conditions, units, abilities, and game-changing Empire Systems.

Sins II will give players more tools than ever to form their own play styles as they battle, scheme, monopolize, and manipulate their way to victory.

The sequel also introduces new emergent tactics and strategies that reward creative thinking. Players can protect vulnerable units by body-blocking missiles with their Titan, launch a surprise attack from a rogue asteroid when its orbit reaches the enemy's back line, or guard themselves against a backstab with a time-locked alliance.

“With new ways to play, new tactical options, and new strategic elements, the time is right to bring Sins of a Solar Empire II to a new audience on Steam,” said Brian Clair, Director of Publishing at Stardock.

Sins of a Solar Empire II is packed with new features for players to explore, including:

The Advent Unity race returns for Sins of a Solar Empire II with two sub-factions that utilize new items, mechanics, and the unique “Unity” Empire System
Orbiting planets that dynamically alter the map during play, requiring players to gradually shift their strategies as new challenges and opportunities present themselves
Enhanced tactical battles and deeper combat simulation featuring tracking turrets and missiles that can be blocked by ships or shot down
Minor factions that provide unique capabilities to players that befriend them through a new influence system
New economy model that allows players to truly customize their worlds to fit production needs
Capital ships that can be equipped with special augmentations to be more effective in battle
New in-game mod browser allows for easy installation for mods and maps

For those who enjoy challenging themselves in online play, Sins of a Solar Empire II allows for up to 10-player multiplayer matches. Players can now seamlessly join or resume games, and an in-game mod workshop automatically keeps in sync with any enabled mod content.

So. when can I buy the Sin of Solar Empire 2?

Killuminati Sep 17, 2022 @ 3:05am

Is it confirmed SOASE 2 will release on Epic early? If so I'm out of this group and won't support this company anymore. I stuck with you exclusively through Impulse but you folded and I bult a library here. I'll be damned if you'll push me to start another.
