Dynasty Protocol

4X space strategy games have accustomed us to gameplay that mostly unfolds in a turn-based mode. Dynasty Protocol described here changes that and allows us to conquer space in real-time. This production was developed by the independent team Ellipses Studios, which has Chaos in its portfolio - a 2024 project of a different genre and theme.

Gameplay

In Dynasty Protocol we take control of a space dynasty, and our primary task is to conquer successive areas of the universe. To achieve this goal, we must establish colonies and create mining outposts on resource-rich asteroids. Ensuring a steady supply of oxygen and hydrogen to our footholds plays a crucial role, as does maintaining an efficient network that enables communication and resource transport between them.

Fleet, warfare and their effects

We gather resources that allow us to build a genuine space fleet (the game lets us design ships by manually selecting individual parts) and then send it to conquer new territories. As we progress, the rank of our ships increases (which translates to better armor), and their weaponry can be upgraded. All of this leads to a gradual increase in the value of individual units.
