Factions & Backgrounds


Player's faction & background


There are now 6 playable factions:
These are the base organizations that drive the universe dynamic, but of course, there are many others (sovereign organizations, corporations, and pirates) that are procedurally generated to complement the universe.
Muga, Uhmrane and the Eridani Pact share the core worlds. The chosen faction will then determine the possible backgrounds. A background is the starting conditions (and difficulty) when starting a game, some are particularly rough, such as starting with a large debt.
Some factions don't have all backgrounds available, for example, Umhrane is too weak to offer the player to start with a large ship or a fleet, and some factions don't have any territories for the player to become a governor. The Rim, is a particular choice as it puts the player as ruler of its own under-developed colony, outside the core world and under the influence of an Urghogh (a giant worm).

Polished universe generation


Besides the UI rework, the generation was greatly improved. Now history is separated into 5 eras, each having its own dynamic during the generation.
  • Age of Exploration (The antimatter is exploited for uncontrolled exploration and colonisation)
  • Replicant's Invasion (an unknown invader, using self-replicating spacecrafts, tried to seize the Antimatter and exterminate the Urghogh)
  • The Reconstruction (A short period of time when humanity tries to rebuild while facing ideological turmoil)
  • Urghogh Age (Antimatter Crisis, in reaction to the Replicant's invasion, the worms decide to put the human race under harsh tutelage )
  • Eridani's Rise (The institution guarding the Antimatter rebels against the Urghoghs, thanks to the help of Uhmrane, the outcast worm. This is when the player starts)


Each circle is a stellar system

Title screen


This is not a big deal but here is the new title screen. A fun fact is that what is shown here is emulated from the in-game view, Antimatter being in flattened 3D.

    Antimatter is a strategy game in a simulated galaxy where you create and incarnate a character.
    In command of your spaceship, trade, fight, explore or lead an interstellar empire.

    You will dive into a complex universe where you, a mere player, is the insignificant cog of a cruel simulation.

    Features


    • Thousands of systems and planets to explore in a gigantic instantiated galaxy.
    • A dynamic universe where dozens of factions struggle for power or survival.

      How To play ?


      Antimatter is a RPG that plays as a grand strategy game, you have neither omniscience or omnipotence, most of your responsibility can be delegated to spaceship captains and governors if you control any territory.
      No micromanagement is required, you have the freedom to deal with the businesses that interests you the most.
      Antimatter plays in the intersideral space, on the planet's surface or in the mysterious undergrounds, you can play all the way from a space journeyman to a galactic emperor.



      Create and customise your galaxy with all available options, such as the stellar systems count and types or the historical events that will impact the simulation of civilisations through the ages.
