Release Notes:

Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter is the full stand-alone follow
up to the hit 4X-styled Sword of the Stars franchise. The continuing
storyline will reveal the dark secrets of the ancient force responsible
for tampering with the races in the original Sword of the Stars. Sword
of the Stars II: Lords of Winter will be a major step forward in 4X
gameplay, taking the easy-to-learn-but-hard-to-master philosophy set
out in SotS1 and following that path to a new standard in space
strategy games.

Features:

Lead one of six playable factions, including a completely new one, as
you strive for galactic dominance

Unravel highly detailed star systems featuring planetary orbits, moons
asteroid belts, and different space terrain

Choose between entirely new vessels, or build your own with new levels
of ship detail, including specific sub-systems, allowing for new fleet
strategies and tactics

Explore an advanced technology system as the game begins in the Fusion
era and moves beyond the Anti-matter era
