Description:

Shadow Empire is a deep turn-based 4X wargame with a unique blend of military
focus, procedurally generated content and role-playing features.

Shadow Empire places you into the seat of the supreme ruler of a small nation.
Destiny and greatness awaits if you succeed in reconquering a devastated planet.
Plunge into an alien universe and explore another world in a dark and unforgiving future.

Take command and engage in great military conquests and delicate diplomacy.
Control your nation’s budgets, recruit and manage governors and commanders,
build your economy and infrastructure and much more.

Shadow Empire is one of the most ambitious games VR Designs has ever made.
It is a rich experience and a truly unique game. One that is unlike any you have
ever experienced before.


Make agonizing decisions in response to events occurring in your Nation, demands
from your Leaders or from third parties such as cults and crime syndicates. You
can also use your available Stratagems to create new opportunities and enhance
your Nation. You will be able to optimize every aspect of your rule.

Recruit Leaders and appoint them to become zone governors, council directors,
army commanders or advisors. Leaders can have over 40 different skills and can
receive Leader feats to augment their statistics.

Install a parliament, senate or politburo in your nation and change the machinery
of your government over the course of a game.

Engage with your neighbours on the diplomatic front: Minor regimes can be coerced
to become vassals. Major regimes can be tied down with pacts and deals, ensuring
a peaceful coexistence or you can use your spies to manipulate their politics and
reveal their military forces.

Attempt to manage the expectations of your people and your leaders. There is a
strong role-playing and human dynamics element to Shadow Empire. If you are not
careful in their management, you may have to deal with discontent, strikes,
corruption or even all out rebellion.



Shadow Empire has specialized procedural design that ensures high replayability and
allows vast experimentation. It is not just the planets that are procedurally generated,
your equipment, vehicles, leaders, location and more are variable.

Explore procedurally generated planets that follow the rules of Astrobiology. Including
detailed climate, rainfall, deserts, snow, glaciers, lava streams, deep forests, alien
evolutions, mountain chains, resources, rivers, biohazard levels, respiratory hazard levels and more.



Exploit the planet with a huge variety of mining operations: Water, metal, rare metals,
oil and even radioactive materials. Prospecting is often necessary for discovering
resources that could be mined and you‘ll need to scavenge through the ruins of fallen
empires and discover rare artifacts from a lost age.

There is also a separate system for discovery of technology, formations and units. Your
Research and development path is different every game and this ensures that the route
to success is different every time, too.



Explore 150+ stratagems and deploy them as you see fit.

Stratagems are complete plans and series of actions that allow you to complete vast
swathes of micromanagement tasks simply and easily. This system can also help you
respond quickly to a crisis or unforeseen situation.





Discover and design 30+ different unit types such as light tanks, walkers, missile
launchers and much more. Design your units to fit the needs of your army, choose
their loadouts, balance speed and armor and create the exact land and air forces that
your nation needs. Shadow Empire comes with over 100 different formation types,
deploy Infantry regiments, Siege Battalions, Tank Divisions and so much more.



Fight battles with detailed combat resolution taking into account factors as readiness,
morale, supply, experience, entrenchment, landscape, recon, rivers, weapon and armor
technologies, concentric attacks, leader skills and posture stratagems.



Discover and research over 100 different fields of technology.
The game starts at a low level of technology as your nation drags itself out of the ruins
of a galactic collapse, but at the end of the tech tree you’ll find knowledge that allows
you to build exciting technologies such as ICBMs, laser guns, atomic missile launchers,
walkers, shield-generators and more.

Manage a realistic supply chain that has real consequences, running out of ammo could
mean that your military is unable to attack or defend itself. Running out of food could
have even more dire implications.

Extend your logistical network capabilities by building roads or rails as well as constructing
truck stations, maglev stations and supply base assets. Develop transport helicopters and
cargo planes to set up Air Bridges to support Invasions or to drop supplies into isolated positions.

1.11.00_(54923) in first post

► Changelog

Changelist for 1.11.00

-If AI has been collecting lower quality models after making replacements. This has been addressed and now its SHQ is going to directly deploy the unneeded ones (for repl.troops) in new units.
-AI is now only replacing troops now with newer models if XP is at least 40 as the whole idea in the first place was to retain the XP at the front (and sending the new troops to the older version equipment)
-Some minor AI algorithms concerning replacing troops revised.
-In some cases there will will now be less requests to hire a faction candidate.
-Fixed a crash during “flak front processing” message (starfry)
-Fixed occasions of faulty nato counters in history screen

-Fixed eternal loop in human-human PBEM game (mroll)

-The DPI scaling done by the GPU is sharper than the previous DPI scaling done by the CPU.
-Sped up the scrolling speed by using shifting direct memory copies within the same map bitmap
-Sped up the scrolling and map clicking speed by not recalculating or redrawing the windows that are overlaid over the map and separating the underlying map drawing and the overdraw (making cache-ing possible).
-Fixed bug with Advice window after end turn (Voker57 / thomas)
-Fixed bug with receiving a new leader with a regime profile above 100
-Finetuning Militia equipment improvement in games that last hundreds of rounds (hyveltush)
