Mandate of Galactic Empires

Mandate of Galactic Empires is a turn-based space 4X about building an empire through administration, infrastructure, and population management. Your empire grows through Administrative Nodes: regional centers that collect resources, assign workers, build infrastructure, and project control over nearby systems. There is no FTL outside the wormhole network that you must build as you expand across the galaxy. Systems are connected through wormhole infrastructure (called Inertial Reference Gates), turning the map into a network of claims, routes, frontier positions, and strategic chokepoints. Stars, nebulae, neutron stars, and black holes shape where your empire can reach and what it can support. Population is the foundation of the economy. Workers can be assigned to administration, research, metals, exotics, shipyards, and other regional needs. Empires have four great houses with specialized bonuses, and each house has an imperial charter to expand and control star systems, while the Imperial house, governing only the homeworld administrative region, has it's own specialization options and holds the right to issue colony charters to the great houses. Build an empire through regions Administrative Nodes are star systems that form the core of your empire. They hold stockpiles, support buildings, direct production, and define the parts of space you can meaningfully control. They control an Administrative Region composed of many other systems, growing as the IRG network expands, and new research unlocks more expansion capabilities. Expand through infrastructure Claiming space depends on reach. Build and deploy IRGs to connect systems, extend your frontier, and decide which routes matter when creating the IRG network. Turn population into production The economy is based on the population, which becomes workers, administrative capacity, research, resources, and military output. Read the state of your empire The interface is built to expose the essentials: stockpiles, workforce, build queues, claims, connections, fleets, and regional capacity. Explore a procedural galaxy Generate spiral or irregular galaxies filled with star systems, resource deposits, nebulae, neutron stars, pulsars, black holes, and named places that give the map texture. Mandate of Galactic Empires is currently in development for Early Access.
