Their research is second to Federation.Ĭardassians are arguably the hardest side to play, and the biggest challenge.
Some of the minor races like them, some do not. Their ships are not that fast or resistant but carry huge numbers of torpedoes and destroy whole fleets from long range as they uncloak. Most of their ships can cloak (only colony ships and troop transports cannot) and their Intel strength is almost as powerful as those of Cardassia. Romulans are just like in the series, secretive and paranoid. Most of the minor races do not like them so they have harder time getting them into their empire peacefully. Bad side is those (especially cloaked ones) ships are not that resistant and Klingons are not rolling in cash or defense against sabotage. Coupled with certain ships having cloaking and having one of the faster ships they can decimate any fleet that is not big enough to survive first strike. Their ships are arguably weakest in the game and excel at attacking slower moving ships at longer ranges. This coupled with their cheap ships get them a huge fleet earlier then others.
Its ships are a good mix of good armor/shields, speed and firepower.įerengi excel at trade, and get most trade routes and money from it, as well as can trade with anyone they are not at war. While Romulans also excel and spying and sabotage, Klingons get bonuses when in war but also prefer honorable behavior.Īs a result each side get certain flaws and bonuses.įederation has the easiest time getting minor races into their "empire" and also get a best research bonus, while each turn of war reduces the morale of its people and subjugating other planets is not something you want to do often. Klingons and Romulans possess Cloaked ships that easily wipe out unprepared foes.
While Federation is focused on peace, diplomacy and good relations with minor races, Ferengi like to trade and build HUGE fleets as a result, while Cardassians will subjugate planets and weaken their enemies with sabotage. What that link does not tell you is that each of the 5 races play differently. General info about the game can be found here: I wanted to have this topic to tell the new players about this game and share fond memories with those that did play it. I am sure I am not the only one that has played this classic game from the same people that gave us Master of Orion. I found it a shame that there is no topic about this great 4x game.
