Starships
In celebration of the release of Sid Meier’s Starships today, 2K and Firaxis want to make sure you’re fully briefed for the journey. To that end, the studio and publisher have put together a “101” video to bring you up to speed.
You’ll learn about how the title connects to Civilization: Beyond Earth, opportunities for tactical combat, and the different ways you can customize your ships. Blowing up the opposing forces isn’t the only way to secure victory, though. Just like in Civilization titles, you can achieve a science-based win by focusing your efforts on research.
Wonders, another carry-over from Civilization, will grant enhancements to your entire fleet. Build seven and you can score a victory.
You can also win by being prolific. Command 51 percent of the population will score you the win.
Starships is out today for PC and iOS. The title will cost you $15 on either platform.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
