The official Space Empires V website is now live, offering forums, blogs, special groups, exclusive content, and links about the the latest installment of the series developed by Malfador Machinations. Space Empires V features political alliances between multiple empires, a top-down ship design system, a hexagonal movement grid, and many more. Due to player demand, the game is completely moddable and even adds a scriptable AI system to the mix. Space Empires V will be launched on October 16th - a playable demo is locally mirrored here.
