It is the dawn of the sixth millennium and the skies are darkening, for the suns themselves are fading. Humans reached the stars long ago, building a\u00a0Republic\u00a0of high technology and universal emancipation\u2014and then squandered it, fought over it, and finally lost it. A\u00a0New Dark Age\u00a0has descended upon humanity, for the greatest of civilizations has fallen and now even the stars are dying. Feudal lords rule the\u00a0Known Worlds, vying for power with fanatic priests and scheming guilds. A grand 4X strategy game developed by Holistic Design Inc., Emperor of the Fading Suns is set in the Dark Ages of Space. It allows players to take the role of one of the powerful nobles fighting to become Emperor of the Known Worlds. Similar to such strategy classics as Civilization and Masters of Orion, Emperor of the Fading Suns offers a sophisticated diplomacy engine, space and ground combat, discovery of new planets, multi-player (Internet) competition and more. While rushed to market, it built a loyal following and spawned numerous, unofficial fan-made mods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
