Constellation!
is a turn-based multiplayer strategy game with a space theme. It is similar to games like Stars!, VGA Planets and Master of Orion. Constellation borrows a lot from those games where the author felt they were doing the right thing, and tries to innovate in parts that the author did not like as much. Constellation has less resource-management than those games (and less micromanagement!) and is more focused on tactical combat.

So far, Constellation is a strictly multiplayer game. No AI players have been written for it. Constellation is well suited to be played by email.

You can download Constellation! from the Releases board of this Community. Make sure you check back often for updates and bug fixes! If there are any gameplay changes, I'll post information about them there, too.

The Gameplay message board is to report bugs and discuss gameplay issues; you can also find other gamers to play with. Finally, there is a Game Board to post game turns if you feel like playing a BBS-style game.

Please join this community if you like the game.

Constellation is written by one man and does not have any flashy graphics or sounds. In fact, all of the game's graphics has been downloaded from the Internet (mainly from Happy Icons collection -- thank you Andy!). So please don't be surprised when you see icons of ships form StarWars and StarTrek under different names -- they are simply the best icons I had at hand at the moment. Anyone who'd like to draw, assemble and propose a different set of icons is very much welcome to do so.

The current version is fully playable, although new features may be added in the future.

Constellation has been written for my and your enjoyment. It is distributed for free. The only thing I ask from you is your feedback, bug reports and suggestions.

Have fun!
