Novum Imperium

"The New Empire"

A real-time pausable 4X space strategy game and spiritual successor to Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain (1997).

Built in Godot 4 with GDScript.

What is this?

Explore a procedurally generated galaxy, colonize planets, research technologies, design warships, and compete against rival alien civilizations through diplomacy, trade, and warfare.

~60% faithful to the original. 40% new — expanded tech tree, deeper buildings, reworked combat, trade economy, and more.

Status

🔄 Phase 0 — Pre-production (PRD & design in progress)

See novum-imperium-PRD.md for the full design document.
