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?

    It doesn't matter so much, except it can define the types of units, types of resources, type of movements. e.g. a land warfare game might differentiate between land and sea forces, while space games may differentiate between planet based troops, and interstellar craft.

    That said, I do enjoy having a theme to set the feel of the gameplay.
