What are we trying to accomplish?

• You are fighting a WAR. Not a battle.
• Battles on multiple fronts.
• Your APM is irrelevant. It’s about your strategy – controlling strategic positions. Cutting off supply lines. Units don’t die very fast.
• Strong RTS AI for single player
• Unparalleled scale.  Massive maps with thousands of units.
• Easy to mod, easy for people to create and share maps
• Random map choices.
• Lots of configurability

Who should NOT join?

The founder’s program isn’t for everyone:

• Founder’s builds are very rough. Not for the casual player.
• Game play, art and design are still very early.
• There is an NDA still. No streaming or public screenshots yet please wo permission.
• We are looking for experienced RTS players. We want to make sure that our UI and game mechanics rewards good strategy.
• The hardware requirements for the founder’s program is very high. Video card needs at least 1GB of memory.
• We are looking to build a core community for the game as the team is looking to enhance this game for a long time (like what we’re doing with GalCiv III!).

Who are we?

• The team is made up of veterans from Civilization IV, Civilization V, Sins of a Solar Empire, Galactic Civilizations and lots of other RTS and 4X games.
