Its basically birth of the federation which on the PC in the late 90's based on star trek tng. Played it to death then. It's a fair reincarnation of that thou they dont have copyright to class it as star trek. Needs some work to make a classic but potentially they could make a really good game of it

Best 4x game you can download on mobile none are like this and no others come close to beating it at the #1 spot its based on the old Star Trek birth of the federation game for pc. So if you liked that then you will definely like this. But there's no tutorial so it will take you a few tries and just exploring to really get into this game its very complex there's alot of stuff i find very cool and its neat. Truly one of a kind.

It has a lot of potential. It does. But it needs a tutorial. Not those hints you give, but a real tutorial. The intelligence system either needs an overhaul or a tutorial of itself. Otherwise it is a wonderful game and I wish the devs were still fixing it but oh well. I still recommend giving the game a try

Pretty fun 4X strat game. Gotta say, I really appreciate the effort put into all the stuff in the game, but by God I swear the intelligence service is full of either brain dead sloths or pure retards! Every time I encounter another empire the AI goes mentally insane with the espionage/sabotage. Every turn, all I see is nEw InTeLleGeNcE rEpOrTs!!!!!11!!!11 and boom! Say goodbye to the best ships in your fleet! Oh, full intel security? Too bad! Screw logic! With the exception of that, it's good.

Fun to play until another major faction is discovered then it's all about Intel and everything else becomes irrelevant. Forgetting this game until Intel is either removed or the developers acquire some intelligence themselves and introduce a better system.

There is still a lot that needs to be done to make this game good enough to truly recommend. Additionally, while the game had some tweaks done to make it work worth touch screens, it hasn't been fully optimized for it (trying to push slider buttons to move up by 1 or down by 1 is difficult due to small hit boxes on the slider button); this ignoring small smartphone screens where it is extremely difficult to read small text. What gameplay there is here though is good and definitely shows promise.

About this app

Birth of the Empires (also known as BotE) is a turn-based 4X strategy game set in space in the style of classics such as Microprose's Master of Orion 2 or ST: Birth of the Federation. By choosing one of six major races aim is to gain control and supremacy over a part of the galaxy, either by diplomatic or military means. Further victory conditions are available at game start.

Earth, 2121: Spaceflight coming nearer and the third world war was long in the past, the future looks bright again for mankind. The whole universe with all its fascinating worlds, lifeforms, species and anomalies lies ahead of each brave man and woman aboard their starships eager to find new life, a new home and contact to whatever civilization there may be outside Earth system, to explore the unexplored, to encounter the unencountered.

Take command of one race during the beginning stages of their empire, but beware, there is more than one way leading to victory and each time, mastering it will be different. It will likely change and you are challenged to keep the balance within the galaxy quadrant or seize galactic power for your race and thereby establish your own "balance" in the galaxy!

I will update it as soon as questions arise.

WARNING: For best experience at least a 6" screen is recommended, else fonts and buttons might be too small.
WARNING #2: There is a new Option called "Enable Preload". If you had no issues before version 0.6.19 then you can safely enable it to make the UI snappier. If you had issues then DON'T enable it.
If you have enabled it by accident and your game doesn't starts please go into the device's Settings-Application Manager-Birth of the Empires and tap "Clear Data" and "Clear Cache". This will unfortunately also delete your savegames.
