Space Empires IV is a massive space strategy game for Windows. You control your empire in an ever changing and hostile galaxy. Design your starships and use them to explore new solar systems throughout the galaxy. Hundreds of different components are available to place on your ships, and giant facilities to build on your planets. Use fighters, troops, mines, satellites, and weapon platforms to supplement your starships. Build your empire through research, intelligence operations, politics, treaties, and decisively planned strategy. Engage in Tactical or Strategic Combat, or use the Combat Simulator. Up to 20 players, human or computer, can play against each other with multi-player support (turn-based or simultaneous play). Customize the graphics for your ships and download updates from our website!
