Not going to join this time due to time constraint, but I can heartily recommend this game.

[Detros]

I almost joined, but I'm going to be away from home with unknown internet access for a couple of weeks shortly.
really need to make an android client :p

While yes, unless you aim too high, you can get away with just checking on the game once or twice a day for 15 mins (thanks to those slow 10h turns), being offline for multiple days screws your empire massively (the time just keeps going, with your units waiting for fresh orders). But if you see yourself with net availability in near weeks, go for it and try this game at least for the hierarchy aspect alone.

Oh I have tried it, even won a game.
and yes I do recommend it too. it can suck you in a bit once politics gets going though.

If you have a tablet, you can now operate the comm panel fairly well in android.
The game panels that use mouse hover do not work on Android, will have to code something different for those.

Phone displays are too small for many of the panels, doubt if there is a way to make that ever work.

I have been playing this game for quite some time.  Was with Teptot in the last round. 

Just made a post on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/4Xgaming/comments/7c52du/starlords_3k_online_4x_with_depth/

Would recommend heartily.  Played with a couple of other urists in Illyriad (as Marat) a while back.  Would welcome you in this one too.

The 5th game of StarLords3k has come to a close with Konstantin of the Dominion of Mamor winning.

A new game should start somewhere in the near future, so if anyone is interested this should be a good time to make an account.

[se5a]

I *Might* jump back in on the next one. we'll see how my schedule looks when it starts.

[mahks]

A change to the next game that may make a big difference is the game end trigger (now 4K) will be 3K prestige. This should make for a shorter mid-game (build up phase) and create some hard decisions about building warships earlier.

Another change, raiders now spawn at Indy and Imperial stars. So trade routes need to be patrolled, adding more pressure for early ship building. With the added raiders, more opportunity for privateer action is available.

[Sheb]

Mmmmh, ùight try again... I wonder how I'll fare.

A test game has been running for the past week or so, but now an official game has finally begun.

So, anyone that has shown interest or are newly interested, this would be a good time to join.

[QuakeIV]

This has started up again, for anyone who is interested.

The episode "Partes Facere Totam" will begin on September 11th 2020.

If you have never played and wish to join in, please begin the training game now so you can join the above game with some knowledge of the mechanics.

New game features:

Misc :

• Tradebases have been removed in favour of the more universal "Sector Markets"
• Lords may now enrol officials for extra training at foreign academies
• Shipyards, assemblers and academies may now be dedicated to a single output, reducing time and costs

Glad to see that this game is still going.  Are there still all the same characters playing?
