Star General

Star General, the fourth game in SSI's Five Star General series, features battles between war faring planets and adds an element of empire building to the basic strategic gameplay of previous titles. The engine, first used in Panzer General, refined in Allied General, and further expanded in Fantasy General with the addition of spells, serves as the basis for this turn-based, space-based strategy title.

While most battles occur in space, gameplay centers on planets scattered around the map. Structures produce various types of military units, research labs increase technology levels, and planets provide necessary revenue. Success depends on developing the planet's infrastructure as well as fleets. Large and powerful fleets lead to space domination, but ground units must be built and transported to other empires for ground superiority and conquest. Victory consists of meeting specific winning conditions within scenarios, or an empire dominating more than half the map in an open-ended mode. No campaign option is available.

Go where no strategy gamer has gone before - beyond Panzer General Volume 4 in SSI's award-winning 5-star series. Star General is light-years ahead of its proud ancestor.

Command a multi-planetary force as you struggle to repel the advances of six alien races. Engage in multiple scenarios as any of 7 different races. And be prepared to put in some time. The scope of Star General is as vast as space itself - with well over 100 hours of game play.
