The game
The basic concept of the game started out as a simple 4X game, but has grown to be much more. 4X is an acronym for eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate. You may know these games as turn-based or real-time Strategy games. Unlike most other 4X games (e.g. Civilization, Galactic Civilizations, Master of Orion and Sins of a Solar Empire) this game will be Massively-Multiplayer oriented and set in a single Persistent Universe.
It focuses on construction, economy, diplomacy, research, cooperation and trade; but warfare and other naughty gameplay will also be implemented.
It will mostly resemble a mixture between SimCity and Civilization, but the players' villages will grow and form complex relationships in a Persistent Universe.
Your village only has two limits:
Available land
Money
With time and hard work (or loads of money) your 'village' could encompass an entire planet and your Empire half a galaxy, but most likely not without help or cooperation.
