Imperia is jut about the only game I've found that I really really can't get to grips with. It seems to take great delight in generating five tiny worlds with no ADM whatsoever, hostile governors and crippling debts. I really don't know what to do.

It's not super balanced at the moment, plus you don't have a lot of your options like the military, intrigue, alliances, your intelligence forces, etc. in place yet. Once those are present you will have many more options to deal with challenging planetary situations. Remember, part of the backstory is that the empire is in decline.

Just an FYI - I will be posting a LP of the new .410 build tomorrow on the blog. If you've been wanting to see the new graphic, UI, and gameplay additions, I recommend checking it out!

Very soon, man!!! Very soon!!

Here's one more, since I know most people haven't seen the new astrographic screens:

Do we eventually get outside enemies or portions of the Empire that has gone independent? Then you can go and reclaim them. If I understand correctly, currently you can "just" get an all-out civil war for the imperial throne by disloyal elements instead of independence movements.

Absolutely. Both generals and sector governors can 'go rogue' and claim territory for their own. Admirals can't unilaterally claim territory, but they can throw their support behind an alliance that is. This would happen most often when your ideology is very different from these characters, you are perceived as weak with few allies and/or assets, or they simply despise you and are willing to take a risk. There will also be 'lost' colonies of humanity that have banded together and you can have diplomatic relationships with them, or simply conquer them.

Ah. Well, in no particular order, Democracy 3, CK series, MOO, and EU IV.

The LP will be posted tonight on YouTube. I will post the link here. It will really be more of a tutorial than a true LP, but I think that will help people who find the sledding difficult even though the game interests them. Should be up by 10 Pm or so.

Also, the massive .410 release should happen in the next day or two. Just a few little loose ends to complete!

First video is up. Here's the link:

This first video is mainly an introduction to the game and the UI, with notes about changes made to the game since the .400 version. I will post a tutorial LP later this week, covering your first 3 years as Emperor.

In related news, .410 should be released by the end of the week!!

Huh, I would have guessed warhammer 40k would be in there somewhere. This game sounds a lot like what you'd get if you took Warhammer 40k lore and pulled out the magic/psychic stuff. Star-spanning empire, reconquring lost colonies, rule by fear, governors being royal pains in the neck...

Will you ever add in non-government factions within the empire? I'm thinking about things like the great houses of Dune, family lines which have existed for centuries and are unimaginably wealthy. Civilians who, through wealth and influence, wield power on par with some planetary governors and who could, with the right diplomacy, be a tool for the Emperor. They can also be a royal pain in the ass if you piss them off, using their wealth to sow dissent and lobby for policies which undermine your orders or replace political figures with their own who are opposed to you.
