StarLords 3K

StarLords 3K is a multi-player on-line strategy game, where diplomacy, trade and conquest are the focus. The game follows a traditional 4X type format. There is no real-time combat. A game lasts months, but with limited play per session. The idea is to limit the advantage of players who can remain in-game for long periods. During a session, a player may move their fleets, attack, build, trade & conduct diplomacy, but then must wait a period of time before the fleets can move again.

Trade is a large part of the game.Assets are built from 12 minerals, some of which are not available on local stars. Scoring is based mostly on a feudal hierarchy that encourages diplomacy. Warfare is not the prime intention, combat is a tool of diplomacy.
