I am a fan of turn-based, multi-player strategy space-themed war games. I am not a fan of real-time games mostly because I ike to mull my decisions, and it is difficult to get everyone together at the same time.

Currently I play the aging, but still great Space Empires IV. This game has some great features including being very mod-able, and great depth and variety of game play). There are some other old but great space-themed, turned-based strategy games (e.g. Master of Orion), but most of these either had no multi-player, or required everyone to be playing on the same computer.

Anyone on Soylent play a great turn-based strategy games which is space-themed, of which I might not be aware?

    I've been a fan of Galactic Civilizations II. Its a game that I seem to come back to and play obsessively every couple of years. Great depth, and the expansion packs make some very significant changes to the game. There's apparently a third installment http://www.galciv3.com/ [galciv3.com] in the series that is currently in Alpha. I haven't checked it out yet, but it might be worth a look.

    I wasn't aware that a new one was in production. Or hope of production anyway. Interesting.Is this one going to be multiplayer? The older ones were not.

      Their FAQ says that there will be online multiplayer, but there are very few details. I am quite hopeful, though- multiplayer would put the game over the top in my opinion.
