Intro[edit | edit source]

The years is now 2270CE, and man has finally begin leaving Earth to colonise the Solar System. Most of the world has been reduced to polluted wastelands dotted with the remnants of the wars of the eight powers, now merely a shell of their former selves in the 20th century, while Asia is now a patchwork smaller warring states, bearing allegiance to either the Pacific Entity for Unity and Reform and the Celestial Empire of Dawn.

Even so, mankind looks up to the stars for his ultimate refuge and salvation. All that is left was for mankind to gather the resources required to escape the shattered Earth and move beyond the stars...even as the planet dies, mankind is now being reborn elsewhere. Colonies have been set up throughout the inner planets of the Solar System as the four major powers of earth begin the transition towards becoming true interplanetary civilisations.

Yet, this cannot go on, for even now the Solar System is running out of space for the four great powers. They will either have to leave it for good...or fight and conquer one another to survive.

Gameplay[edit | edit source]

Parhelion is meant to be an RTS game, with some turn-based strategic elements to it, with two different tech trees. For example, in skirmish games you have your usual RTS elements - build up bases and frag the foe. In space, however, you have a different priority altogether.

Strategic map[edit | edit source]

Although the gameplay is still very much like Rise of Nations, you will still need to build warships in order to conquer the entire Solar System and bring mankind back together as one. Ships can be built using tribute which is a function of how powerful your empire's industrial output is.
