14 DAY TRIAL // The development team at Firaxis might have just announced their new Starships title, but they are already prepared to show off footage taken from the strategy game, with a new twitch stream featuring creator Sid Meier as he guides fans through some of the most interesting elements of the experience.
The footage is filled with details about the actual gameplay of the turn-based experience and there is plenty of gameplay to take a look at.
Sid Meier starts off by talking about the inspiration for Starships and the way it is connected with Civilization: Beyond Earth, with the Affinities from that game also used by the new title in interesting ways.
The look of the game is pretty close to that of Galactic Civilizations II from Stardock, but this one is more focused on exploration and on combat.
The game also concentrates on the ways the player can use a wide array of components in order to create solid ships that can defeat a variety of enemy attacks.
Sid Meier says that Starships is designed to be replayable and that each type of map will force gamers to make some tough choices.
The turn-based strategy title is set to be launched on the PC later during the spring.
