For example, if you want a strong economy, you need good miners to ensure your factories run at full capacity, so you’ll want House Ilioaia (who has a strong mining tradition) on your side so you can appoint their members as viceroys of high-mineral planets… and so on. Build alliances to allow characters with special talents and traditions to develop the Empire the way you want.
and if you piss them off, they may even try to usurp the Empire. The Great Houses of the Empire – Houses limit what you can do as Emperor.Of course, they have relationships with others in the game too, so consider the knock-on effects of anything you do…
Dynamic character relationship model – you can affect your relationships with Actions that you can take against characters, from giving a speech to challenging them to having them executed. Multiple layers of strategy – from a traditional 4X-type (exploring and scanning new systems, colonizing planets, establishing outposts, building militaries and trade) upwards to developing your Great House and managing the other Houses that all have specialties that you can only take advantage of if you are on friendly terms with them, to discovering and reaching out to other breakaway human civilizations, to your ultimate goal of uniting the Celestial Empire against a final attack by humanities’ oldest enemy, the Xyl. If you die, or are deposed, the game is over You are the Ruler – you are a character in a game that has hundreds that you will interact with. You can do almost anything, but you can’t do everything Top – level management – you have Action Points that are finite and vary from turn to turn. You are a character in AotSS, and if you die, the game ends… so tread lightly, your Majesty! We call it a 5X – the 5th ‘X’ being ‘eXist’.
It is foremost a grand strategy game, with 4X elements, but also character and House management. Alliance of the Sacred Suns (AotSS) is a game unlike many that you have ever played.
