Star Dynasties

Star Dynasties is a strategy game about leading a faction of star systems in a galaxy where humanity has fallen into a feudal Dark Age. After the destruction of Earth, the surviving colonies have formed a society that relies on technological artefacts it cannot understand or improve. Aristocratic conflicts shape the fate of humanity’s scattered remnants. You seek to preserve and strengthen your dynasty by expanding your empire, managing vassals, forging alliances and navigating political intrigue and social obligations.

Lead your dynasty

Your campaign follows your bloodline across generations. You customise a faction leader and pursue galactic power, but your descendants may have very different strengths and weaknesses from yours, requiring you to adapt as your dynasty changes.

Navigate court politics

Feudal customs expect you to defend your vassals, protect your family and respect your neighbours. You can build public support through honorable conduct, hold lavish feasts to ingratiate yourself with others and strengthen alliances through marriage. You can also depose unruly barons, threaten other dukes into making concessions, blackmail characters and expose enemies’ secrets to damage their reputations.

Characters and consequences

Hundreds of procedurally generated characters pursue their own goals, creating changing events and storylines. Your choices can affect you, your heir, your house and the fate of your empire.

Explore the ruins

Humanity’s survivors live in structures they cannot build and travel in machines whose workings they cannot understand. Expedition Events can reveal pre-Collapse knowledge, from relics of an earlier age of exploration to mysteries of the present. You can also repair pre-Collapse buildings and installations to provide your colony with safety, food and other necessities.
