Space Empires V is the latest edition in the Space Empires series. This new chapter completely updates the UI and takes the player into a real-time rendered 3D universe. Watch space battles played out in glorious detail and realistic effects. Expand, Explore, Exploit, and Exterminate in a huge living breathing galaxy. New features abound with political alliances between multiple empires, a top-down ship design system, a hexagonal movement grid, and many more. Due to player demand, the game is completely 'moddable' and even adds a scriptable AI system to the mix. Space Empires V boldly takes the next step in the genre of space strategy. Detailed Tactical Combat (and a combat simulator to test your designs!). New vehicle types and sizes: Ships, Bases, Freighters, Fighters, Mines, Satellites, Troops, Drones, and Weapons Platforms. Ability to completely design and customize all of your vehicles. Large Galaxy: 100 solar systems with 15 planets each. Huge Technology Tree: Thousands of tech levels with hundreds of components and facilities. 14 unique races to play or customize (or just create your own!).
