Multi Star Real Map, NEED HELP

PvK · #1 April 29th, 2002, 05:37 AM

Anyone play the space conquest game Imperium of circa 1991 (I had it on Atari ST)? It had a 3D map... ouch, I had a terrible time gaining any sense of how the systems were oriented. About the time I managed to get a few scouts to look at neighboring systems, I was bulldozed and conquered by massive AI armadas. The game didn't really seem finished and balanced, but it had some neat aspects to it, such as characters that could be assigned to ship and planet leadership, with different skills and degrees of loyalty, to whom you could reward with pay, medals, promotions, and/or the rare drug that would prolong lifespans (if you could spare any).

I haven't read this entire thread, but I do remember a very cool 2D/3D map from another game I use to play before I found SE. It was called "Ascendency" and you could rotate the map around and get a feel for the galaxy that way. It was pretty cool and the game was very addictive.

Another old game with a rotating 3D map is Star Control.

modern Version with combat that is 3d is "homeworld" im sure you've all at least heard of it if not played it, great gameplay. Not that it could be incorporated into SE4 without changing the focus of the game majorly but stillitis a nice thought
