Seven Unique Factions
Play as one of seven factions, each with
its own strengths and weaknesses, from the warlike Spartan
Federation to the ecologically-conscious
Gaia's Stepdaughters to the profit-hungry Morgan Conglomerate.
Multiple Paths to Victory
Conquer the Planet through military might
or lead your people to the next level of human evolution.
Addictive Gameplay
Get hooked into Sid Meier's famous "just-one-more-turn"
gameplay. Every turn brings a new decision--and
new consequences.
Every World is Different
Each time you play, an all-new fractal
based planet generator creates a new planet, complete with unique
weather patterns and geological formations.
3-D Terrain
3-D contoured terrain breaks through the
"flat-map" syndrome...watch your units turn, bank and tilt over the
rolling hills of Planet.
Terraform the Land
Raise and lower the land with your Terraformers,
changing weather patterns and altering the course of rivers
to make the climate more suitable for
you or harsher for your opponents.
Compelling Future Technologies
80 future technologies define the state
of the art in interesting decisions...do you research a new military
technology, better medical technology
to increase the standard of living, or a new power source to generate
more energy?
Implement Your Vision of Utopia
Create or adopt new social and economic
models to formulate the society of your dreams.
The Mysteries of Planet
Discover and contend with strange indigenous
life forms, from the benign Xenofungus to the deadly Mind
Worms, and learn how they interrelate
in the larger life cycle of the Planet itself.
A Myriad of Choices
Construct dozens of base facilities or
build up to 32 astounding Secret Projects that confer unique bonuses
on your faction.
Custom Units
Design units according to your needs.
Outfit land, sea and air units with multiple types of armor, energy and
projectile weapons, and dozens of special
abilities (a superfast Terraformer with singularity lasers!).
Extensive Automation
Simplify the management of your empire
with unprecedented levels of Auto commands, unit patrol orders,
intuitive go-tos with waypoints, colony
build queues, and intelligent colony governors.
Unique Economic Model
Explore a unique model of wealth and power,
in which energy is the currency of the future.
Full Multiplayer Support
Race against six of your friends to dominate
the new world on LAN, modem, Internet or serial connections.
Chat live over the Internet with text
or the latest voice-over-data technology.
Incredibly Responsive and Detailed AI
Computer players make intelligent decisions,
plot with you against mutual enemies, coordinate their actions,
and respond to you based on their own
self-interest and personality.
Diplomatic Intrigue and Negotiations
Marshall support for your agenda at meetings
of the Planetary Council. Double-cross allies using stealthy
probe teams. Manipulate other factions
to get elected Planetary Governor!
