This is my first post but I have been racking my brain trying to search or remember this game for about a month now, so at this point i don't care if im considered a leach or whatever. its not even that i want to know what the name is, its that i NEED to(anyone ever feel like this?).


So lets start off with the diplomacy, there where four teams that the player could pick(i keep thinking they where named after roman houses) and two that only the comp could play as(one was a sorta infestation and the other was a religion based society that owned "Holy Terra"(earth)), each player had four(i think) flags at there home world which represented one vote each. the flags could be taken from other players which would be taking there votes when voting time came around. When the voting time came around the four players would vote for themselves or for someone else and who ever got the most won the seat as something like a temporary emperor or something, he could then give one of three positions to the other 3 players or even appoint himself one thus leaving one without a seat. If the voting ended in a tie nothing would change. The positions where a royal type fleet, some spy network that had a base on each home world, and the defenders of the infected part of the galaxy (three planets and one where the defenders base is at). You could threaten the others into giving you the votes(never worked for me) or promise to give them one of the seats(also never worked for me). there where some other things also but i don't remember much more.

The units..... as far as i remember... alot. Some notable ones where the basic soldier and anti tank, they where 2 of the basic ones you could make almost anywhere. there where sea ships, all i seam to remember though where transport sea ships. there was a research you could do to enable you to make one of the infestation units, it was like a giant green elephant bug mix or something. there where power armored units with a variety of strengths and weaknesses.

Now about the map, the map was galaxy view and you could zoom into the planets, the planet view was hex base i think but the planets where kinda big.

I don't remember much about the types of resources but you needed some of the basic ones so you could make more advance resources so you can then make better units.

Oh also some researches like the one for the bug elephant make Holy Terra pissed at you cause they say its sacrilegious or something.

That's about all i remember about the game, any help would be great.


Also i did go through the forums and site looking for the game or a request for the game but didn't find it, but i have a idea for people requesting a game can do as i and a few others have done and name the genre and things like puzzle strategy or steam punk or what ever is in the game, so others don't go making 15 different posts for one game cause everyone is going "name of game?" in the title box.

I know all offically licensed Wh40k games and this fits none of them.

You might want to check Emperor of the Fading Suns, it seems pretty close to your description.

Other possible matches are MegaTraveller, MegaTraveller 2, Space and Space 2.
