Description
This is an additional set of Population Icons to cover the new features in the game, including ground combat, population morale and slavery. The smaller icons are currently used for moving populations around (discontent population can't be moved, and so don't require them).More population icons:
Stars in Shadow is a space 4X strategy game currently under development.
Steam Early Access is planned for next month!

Well, these are the unruly/enslaved versions, which usually means they're going to be under alien occupation. The "normal" versions do mostly have teamcolors.

From what I see of the game its basically Master of Orion but with your wonderful art. How is it different from the new MoO, which I already have and enjoy. Please sell this to me.
This piece is quite neat and I love the easy you know generally want it going on at a glance aspect of it.
Thank you for sharing.

I would say the two biggest differences are in the diplomacy/event system and the way the various factions are differentiated from one another.
Many things you do in the game create "Issues" with the other factions, which not only affect their attitudes towards you but can also be actionable items that you can interact with the faction over, to either resolve the issue (or inflame it, if that is your desire). For example, if you colonize a planet that a faction had planned for colonization themselves, this creates an Issue which is then visible in the diplomacy screen; you can view it to see the effect (a reputation hit), and you can click on it to start a conversation with the faction leader about the issue, to possibly eliminate the penalty by offering compensation, etc. We are trying to add enough faction-specific dialogue options to make these interactions feel engaging and to immerse you in the world of the galaxy, and we have events firing off in the background to insure that there are always incidents which will create issues even if you are not actively creating them yourself.
Each faction has a set of custom ship hulls (with different component slots) and some unique technologies, some of which can alter gameplay in significant ways. The Gremak, for example, have access to Marauders which allow them to raid colonies for slaves (rather than simply invade or destroy the colony), and the ability to trade slaves and use them in their local economies opens up new gameplay options.

Okay more reactive and expanded Diplomacy. And each specie has their own ships that can be noticeably different from one another. Okay sold.

I take it that you know what the Fleet will specialize in when picking races?

There are brief descriptions of each faction's strengths and weaknesses in the faction select screen, but there are too many specifics to list in one screen.

It works well enough for me. Space Dinos is for me for I love my Carriers. The humans sound like they should be interesting to play.

Oh, ok. That's acceptable. I was like "is this psyonic shit?"

Actually it's more like floating; Phidi, Orthin and Thresher are aquatic species and thus live underwater

I almost feel bad for the discontent and enslaved chars like the Phidi and the Ashdars.. if I ever got this game, I'd make sure those populations will always be happy and content.
