ABOUT THE GAME

Most Space Imperia 4X matches take 1–2 hours to complete. With a solid turn-based structure, players alternate between three turns of Movement, Combat, and Exploration, followed by one turn of Economy, where ships are built and techs are researched.

Whoever destroys their enemy's homeworld first wins.

Unlike most 4X games — all enemy fleet details are hidden to you until combat! You can see where they exist on the map, but you do not know what they are or how many ships are in the fleet.

This makes the fog of war very important and puts a high emphasis on scouting formations before battle.

Ships fire according to their Combat Class — more advanced ships fire before other ships. Combat is sequential, meaning a ship can die before it even gets to act!

You can screen ships at the start of every combat, and retreat after the first combat round.

The full game has 14 different Technologies, each with different purposes and benefits.

• Propulsion — allows your ships to move more spaces per turn.
• Ship Size — unlocks bigger ships for building during the Economy phase.
• Cloaking — can be researched and equipped on Raiders — powerful ships that can move through enemy formations without stopping.
• ...plus 11 more techs that give you a toolkit to destroy the enemy.
