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 find theme important in that it gives fuel to my imagination to build a bigger story about the events. If the game has UnitA fighting UnitB over TerrainTypeIII, it's just a combination of available units and terrain. Now if Dwarven Berzerkers are fighting Undead Knights on volcanic plains, that is an image that my mind finds more interesting. The theme might also explain the mechanics, for example, this faction is hated because they are undead or space parasites.
For me themes and graphics help the experience. I like Dwarf Fortress and Crysis, both for their strengths.
