Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity®

Please be aware that Ironclad Online internet multiplayer is no longer supported due to GDPR regulations, but matches can still be played through LAN or DirectIP. As the leader of a civilization in the midst of a galactic war, your goal is the survival of your race against persistent enemies. Victory requires adept management of your empire and the strategic command of your starship fleets. This "RT4X" title merges the grand scope of 4X gameplay—Explore, Expand, Exploit, and Exterminate—with the tactical speed of real-time strategy. Explore a massive 3D universe containing planets, asteroids, and plasma storms, and seamlessly switch between the roles of emperor and fleet commander using the strategic zoom. Utilize extensive diplomacy and economic tools, forging alliances, establishing pacts, setting up trade routes, and bribing pirates to target tyrants. Engage in massive battles with hundreds of ships and up to 10,000 combat particles, zooming from a single fighter to an empire spanning billions of kilometers. Protect your territories with starbases, minefields, and advanced defensive research. You can also create powerful alliances to unlock pact bonuses or hire pirates to attack opponents, though be warned that pirates grow stronger over time and may turn against you.
