Lost Empire Immortals Is Gold

Paradox Interactive goes into space with its strategy games, and this time we're talking about modern 3D graphics, unlike their Hearts of Iron or Europa Universalis game series, where strategy was the key, and graphics were completely outdated (anyway, the games in those series are some of the best pure strategy games ever done!). Now, their new Lost Empire: Immortals game just reached gold status, and you have to know about it...

Lost Empire Immortals

The game is rated "Everyone" by ESRB and 7+ by PEGI, and comes for a SRP of USD 29.99/EUR 29.99. For your money, you will get the following features:- Colossal Galactic Map consisting of 5000+ star systems
- Lead one of 6 major races to stellar domination
- Encounter 28 unique minor races with their own agendas and motives
- Open-ended gameplay and alternative victory conditions provide phenomenal longevity
- Wage war in space or planetside displayed in the new 3D rendered dual warfare system
- Research a vast multi-nodal tree of 150+ technologies split into 11 categories
- Customisable ship design and construction
- Assignable leaders to boost all aspects of the empire including warmongering, production, research and diplomacy
- Reducing player micromanagement through a revamped sleek interface

Why won't they also sell some spare time to play it? I know how much (excellent, otherwise) hours I killed with Hearts of Iron, and that's why I don't even want to think about falling into Lost Empire's temptation...but I guess I will do that, sooner or later!
