Commanders can become Privateers and convert their ship into a powerful vessel that belongs to no civilization and terrorizes other ships for fun, profit, and plausible deniability. Celebrities can sing their swan song in a spectacular final concert, Spies can choose to go down in a blaze of glory (and explosives!) as Saboteurs, and more. Spy on Your Competition Not all wars are won with troops. Train spies to gather information from foreign worlds so that you can formulate the best strategy for conquer or trade. If your enemy starts getting a little big for their galactic britches, send your spies in to knock them down a few pegs and destroy critical planetary improvements. Steal technologies from other civilizations or use your spies to counter against agents that may have infiltrated your own worlds. We need a spy on the inside... Invade Enemy Planets Some wars are won with troops! The Invasion system has been revamped to provide a greater challenge and more strategic depth. Train your legions and send them to enemy worlds, choose a landing location, and then watch planetary improvements explode into fire and ashes as your troops march across the planet's surface. Don't forget to leave a few legions at home, too - they're your best line of defense against a revenge invasion! Encounter New Factions You already know you're not alone in the universe, but there are always new civilizations to discover. Crusade features three brand-new factions: Terran Resistance: The portion of humanity that avoided being trapped on Earth behind the Precursor Shield, years on the run have made them resourceful, but hard. The Onyx Hive: These multi-limbed worms were born from the deep, volcanic vents in the ocean of their homeworld. Natural spies, their society thrives on backstabbing and intrigue. The Slyne: These cybernetic space amoebas look down on other races as being primitive. Fickle and hard to kill, it's probably best to stay on their good side.
