Pandora: First Contact Description
Pandora: First Contact is a science-fiction turn-based strategy game of epic scale. The player leads his chosen human faction over multiple centuries on a newly discovered earth-like planet into an unknown future. Pandora features research, diplomacy, economy, warfare and endless replayability with the exploration of exciting and randomly-generated worlds.
Features:
Discover a new world harboring a variety of ecoregions, ranging from the frozen ice lands of the north, to vast deserts and lush tropical forests in the south. Encounter and survive the planet's dangerous wild life. Agile predators in the steppes, deadly insect swarms in the jungle, or gigantic creatures lurking in the abyss of the oceans.
Ruins and artifacts, the relics of an ancient alien civilization long forgotten, provide you advantages against other rivaling factions.
Over the centuries, progress through a vast research tree spanning dozens of technologies and providing buildings, units, weapons, and more. Negotiate trading or research pacts with other factions for mutual benefits. Forge alliances to stand united against common foes.
Build new cities to expand the borders of your empire. Manage cities by choosing building or unit production and assigning priorities to your colonists. Shape the landscape with terraforming: construct farms, mines, forts, or other improvements to increase the productivity of your colonies or to fortify positions.
Command vast armies on the battlefield against enemy factions. Utilize the planet's terrain, for example by fortifying in hills or hiding troops in forests or mountains.
Design your own units, choosing from a variety of different classes, weapons and armors to maximize the strength of your forces.
Unleash hell on your opponents with powerful military operations, ranging from drop pods behind enemy lines to black hole generators eradicating entire landscapes.
