This was the first game I played with friends during my time at university. we met, set up the LAN network and off we go. We all loved Star Trek and this was just such a great 4x game set in the universe. So many great memories. Even in single player mode I played many hours ... the classic "just one more turn!" kept me awake too many nights. The combination of 3d tactical combat, tech-trees, diplomacy, building up planets and star fleets - it was just perfect! And all the call backs to antagonists like the crystalline entity or the borg, which were scary as f...k, were great!
I love this game so much that I compare every space 4x game to it. I've never found one that satisfied me the same way. Every race was fun and felt different. Discovering the minor races was very fun, and so many races are included!
My favorite memory is playing LAN with friends and making ridiculous jokes about spending money I didn't have while playing as the Ferengi.
The factions were balanced but different
There was challenge
And it had "one more turn" in its play
Made you work in building
And stayed true to the Star Trek world. Almost
I was a big fan of the game back in the day. I've spent more hours on this that I have on many newer games. It would be a shame if this game were to be unavailable for current and future Star Trek fans. I can remember when a Borg cube was rampaging through my territory, I had expended all of my ships but put all of my hope in my remaining fleet of Oberth ships. Fortunately the cube was sufficiently damaged so that my fleet of Oberth ships were able to finish it off. After that they leveled up so much that they were unbeatable.
I absolutely love this game. I played the heck out of it, replaying as different races with different strategies. I've never played another Star Trek game since this one, as none of the others seemed to have the same scope as this one. I hope this gets preserved as even though I still have the physical copy, I don't have an optical drive to play it.
A fantastic 4x game with deep Star Trek lore. The mechanics were pretty finely balanced and I ended up playing this as my most go-to 4x for years and years. The battles were a nice touch.
The Game was one of the first TNG story based games. You can fight with the galaxym Sovereign and Defiant-Class and more. You can kill the EDO God :-D
Or you can play a other main race... and find some small like Vulcan. the map is not original but you can have fun.
I'ts a Star Trek 4x with turn based combat and tng era ships, what more could you want? Just looking at those screenshot and remembering the sound of the Cardassian Torpedoes brings back the sensations:). Why isn't this on GOG yet?

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
