Children of the Galaxy

This game is a very interesting take on Civilization and Space Empires. It's sort of a hybrid between the two, with detailed planet stats of Space Empires and streamlined unit control/production similar to Civilization. It's still in early access, but progress seems quite fast.

2018-01-14 - This game is still in early access but it has a lot of potential to become a great game. Definitely has that 'just one more turn' feel to it. The best advice I can give you is if you do try this game out keep in mind that the best way to cycle through ships is to always remember to cancel their order after you have done something with them. IOW say you move a ship and he has no more moves left. Click on the 'cancel order' icon for that unit and he will automatically be auto selected for more orders next turn. If you don't do that the game seems to forget you have a unit with no orders and you might miss a turn or two before you realize you have an idle ship. This is a minor issue that I think should be resolved by the time the game is officially released.

Great 4x game! Not too many like this around.

Great game, having a lot of fun.
