YOU HAVE ARRIVED, STARLORD...

Looking for a new multiplayer online game experience? A strategy game paced to fit your lifestyle, not devour it? Want a game that starts right off in a stellar empire where you have an active and robust homeworld with 5 star fleet engines poised to jump to nearby worlds through a newly discovered Stargate?

Want a deep and engaging science fiction game experience that you can satisfyingly sink your teeth into? Where you are immediately embroiled in the intrigue and suspense of a newly forming galactic empire? Do you want a game world not filled with hordes of faceless people but other Starlords who you will come to really know? Where you can play on your own schedule? Are you looking for a game with diplomatic depth, where competition doesn't automatically mean combat, where there an infinite number of resolutions to the competitive missions of your fellow Starlords? You have come to the right place, Starlord!

THREE SIMPLE STEPS TO START
1. Download & Install Imperial Wars

The IMPERIAL UNIVERSE Forums are a part of the Imperial Wars "Metagame" and a look inside the psyches of the Starlords engaged within their universes. Here is a live link one to a recent Vet game that just broke out Universe 211 Forum, an active and industrious group of Starlords. While we cannot see into their universes and the individual messages between Starlords, these forums provide a glimpse of player interaction and story environments created.

THANKS AARON!

"Imperial Wars has exceeded my expectations. I knew when I read the design document that it had the 'simple complexity' that always results in a great game, with exceptionally high re-playability and fun. It is that and much more;"
