This game is a very special game like no other.
It's the only Civilization-type game where you can start in the stone age and eventually end the game with hover tanks and underwater cities.
It incorporated pollution as a real factor in the gameplay (including world-altering floods if the pollution became too high).
It also allowed you to fly craft in their own space layer.
This game is really like no other, and every match is an unpredictable wild-ride. A GOG version would be game-changing for the community, as the game is sadly completely unlisted from all stores.
This was the very first Civilization game that I ever played, and in a lot of ways I think it is still better than modern Civ games. For example, this game doesn't just stop in the modern age, it continues on into future ages. You can have fusion tanks, leviathans, underwater cities, space cities, space marines, etc. All of these futuristic things are just plain fun. Yes it lacks many of the modern day quality of life features, but in my opinion the game is still fun enough that those can be overlooked.
This game presented some new philosophical and political concepts that are now paradigmatic. These have not appeared in later civilization -like games: ecotopia, corporate republic, technocracy, virtual democracy.
Also, the possibility to use space tiles, the timespan into 3000AD are significant elements at the time.
Furthermore, the game brought a spectacular critic to our society, almost providing clues (25 years in advance) to major trends in the current world. These are simbolizem by units such as the lawyer, the corporate branch, the ele-evangelist, athe infector, the eco-terrorist, the eco ranger, and the obnoxious subneural ad
Hear me out: a civ-like game that has underwater cities, eco-terrorists and MECHAS
Please, bring this game to GOG even if it requires some work purging the name "Civilization" from all the assets!
This game is an improvement on the core of Civilization. I don't understand why they haven't released an HD version yet or why they simply don't sell it on the platforms anymore.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
