Master of Tactics is a 4X Space Turn Based Strategy Game. It has a tactical combat system making the game heavy on strategy with a deep technology tree. It is also light on micro management! Master of Tactics is set in the future, just after the discovery of interstellar space travel and involves a race to explore the galaxy, colonise new worlds, and control the galaxy's strategic resources. Features: Custom Craft Design, Tactical Battle System, Strategic Resources, Diplomacy (espionage, sabotage, trading) and Random Galaxy Generation.
Master of Tactics is now up to version 1.17 and version 1.18 is in development. The game has been gradually improved over the releases. Have you ever played civilisation and found 100 turn in you are getting bogged down managing your empire for little strategical effect? If so try MoT. A major design aim was to extrapolate 'game play' from 'game management' - I call it 'removing micro management'. Other features Include:

- Nebula
- Space Kaan
Battles fought inside a nebula have shields and cloaking disabled. Space Kaan are a dragon like creatures that live in nebula, once awoken, they travel the galaxy destroying all crafts until they are killed.
My aim is to make Master of Tactics the most diverse and tactical game yet through iterative improvement and expansion.
It looks like a HD version of Master of Orion
Master of Tactics is the same genre as Master of Orion but is a different game developed from scratch. It has some things in common like a tactical battle system, craft design and colonization of planets. However the interface, technologies, and other game assets are all different. Notable differences include:
* Multiple types of attack and damage (physical, psychological etc)
* Cloaking plays a more important role
* Introduction of strategic resources
* Introduction of culture that informally controls space
* Players are normally aligned to one of the ancient races
Another main difference is that Master of Tactics is my hobby more than it is a business. So its development is not going to finish, I intend to just keep on developing. I am currently working on version 1.02 which will have some significant new tactical elements - Watch this space for details!!!
Well, I was about to say the same thing, until you pointed those features out....I might look into this, I kinda like 4x games, so this could be one of my first reviews on my YouTube channel
seems pretty cool, graphics are a bit blocky and the space strategy thing ahs been done before, but you seem to have brought some new things to the table, good luck with the game!
