Once your people venture to the stars, they will encounter exotic spacefaring life forms.Pick any of twenty-one wildly different alien species to lead. Each one has its own personality, evolutionary history, theme music, and approach to diplomacy. Strange effects abound; each species has its own special power, and technological advances allow you to bend the rules of the cosmos. Combat in Ascendancy occurs within star systems in a turn based fashion. It ranges from small ships few in number, up to large battles between as many as seven species at once, with fleets comprised of arrays of ships with varying hull sizes and capabilities.The new technologies the player will discover in Ascendancy allow enormous battleships to maintain a wide variety of devices, including weapons, shields and specialty gizmos that might change the course of a war with a single well-timed activation. The player controls combat including: ship movement, which ships should fire weapons and which should raise shields, when to invade planets, planetary attacks on ships, setting up combinations of moves so key gizmos can be used at the right time, and more. At any time, the player has the option to activate the auto-pilot feature and watch combat run on-screen.Ascendancy offers extensive diplomacy, communications options, and trading between the species. Players can choose to try to win through clever means that go beyond brute force. Be a diplomat or a warlord. Win by force or by unity.

What's New

Mini Update to Version 3- A crash that was occurring on some devices is fixed.- The Ship Design Library is now usable for refits, limited to designs of the same hull type.- The Ship Design Library now indicates which designs will load with missing gizmos.- Handling of low memory conditions has been improved.- The game is now automatically saved every turn.- A bug with grid position selection for ship movement in SystemView is fixed. It now works when the grid changes position due to zooming or panning of the view.- The limits of panning in SystemView are now determined by the objects in each system, so it is always possible to move the view to include any object.- Some rare bugs with ship movement have been fixed.- A bug with target cycling that occasionally made an object difficult to select has been fixed.- A bug has been fixed that required multiple touches of the help button to dismiss the initial help message in the Starmap.- The size of the population growth icons in the Starmap has been reduced, so other icons are more visible.- A bug with the Ship Design Library button has been fixed.- The visibility of the glowing buttons in Starmap View has been improved.- The visibility of ship self-effects has been improved.Version 3: Ship Design Library Update- The Ship View has a new button that opens the Ship Design Library. The Library contains a variety of ship designs in different hull sizes. You can also save and load your own ship designs.- The Starmap has a new information overlay that displays the resource production of each of your systems. Icons that represent quantity of each resource are emitted as cosmic time moves forward. This new information overlay is controlled by a new toggle button. Help-touching the toggle button provides more information on the icons.- Ship designs in the library can be automatically adjusted to keep up with your technology, making any design you save useful no matter your stage of development. You can freely modify any design you load from the library.- You are now informed when you have built all the ships your domain can support, and when you are able to build new ships.- Buttons under the Starmap pulse to inform you of situations that need your attention. You’ll be warned by pulsing buttons when a planet is idle, when a ship is unused in orbit or creating hostility in a system inhabited by aliens, when research is idle, or when your species ability is ready to use.- By tapping the screen repeatedly in the Starmap, in System View, or in Research View you are now able to cycle through targets near your finger.- A new button in the Planet View allows you to go directly to the system that planet is in.- A crash that could occur when meeting an alien species for the first time has been fixed.- You are now able to select another ship as a movement target in System View.- When moving ships to a position in space in a star system, the first tap now selects a position on the system grid rather than a position at the altitude of your ship.- Many other interface improvements, bug fixes, crash fixes, and tweaks have been made.- Much structural work and testing has been accomplished toward a major upgrade to alien AI. This ongoing overhaul accounts for about half the work done on this update.
