Terra Invicta

Terra Invicta is a space strategy, the events of which begin with the fact that something alien comes to the Solar System, and humanity is not ready for it. The player becomes the head of one of the organizations, each of which has its own view of what is happening. In addition to space battles, it is important to manage the Earth: countries, economics, science, politics. Research unlocks technologies, and then work begins on ships and stations. Different factions operate simultaneously, and relations with them change. The game is complex and requires thoughtfulness: the interface is detailed and the games are long. The design is modest, but the scale of the plan is impressive. Organizations differ in goals: some want to come to an agreement with the aliens, others want to destroy them, and others want to subjugate them. Covert work requires agents and influence in countries, and the struggle for technology runs parallel to diplomacy. The space part includes stations, ships and battles for orbits, and without it you won’t be able to win. Some information about aliens is revealed only with a certain level of research. The games are long, and decisions have to be made with an eye on the actions of other factions. Some of the tasks are related to reconnaissance, and the data obtained determines what technologies will become available. Country reports show where organizations are growing in influence and what is happening there. The games are long, but each faction gives its own view of the same situation. For those players who like strategies about humanity under external threat, Terra Invicta is interesting.
