Your empire begins
in the void.
Ariadoss is a persistent 4X strategy game played entirely in your browser. Expand across the galaxy, research technologies, design your fleet, and forge alliances — or crush them — on your path to galactic sovereignty.
Deep 4X strategy.
No client required.
Everything runs in your browser. Plan between sessions — the universe keeps ticking whether you're logged in or not.
Persistent Galaxy
The universe runs on a tick schedule — planets produce, fleets move, research completes — around the clock. Your decisions compound across days and weeks.
Four Pillars of 4X
Explore uncharted sectors. Expand across dozens of worlds. Exploit planets for maximum output. Exterminate rivals in deterministic fleet combat that rewards preparation.
Four Research Disciplines
Signal Arts, Vital Sciences, Void Engineering, and Imperial Doctrine — each discipline unlocks distinct technologies with real strategic tradeoffs. No single path wins.
Ship Design Studio
Configure armor, computers, shields, engines, devices, and weapons across 10 hull classes — Fighter to Leviathan. Counter your enemy's fleet, or build for overwhelming firepower.
Syndicate Alliances
Join or found a Syndicate — player-run alliances with shared production pools, proportional elections, and formal diplomatic tiers between rival blocs.
Scanner & Intel
Signal Arts research runs from basic Void Cartography to the Complete Cloaking Matrix. Information is as decisive as firepower. Scout before you strike.
Planet Economy
Manage population, production output, investment pools, and atmospheric conditions across dozens of worlds. Every efficiency point compounds at scale.
End-Game Scoring
Planets, population, technologies, admiral experience, secret projects, and Honor combine into a score multiplied by your achievements. Win the right way.
A galaxy that never stops moving
Every system is contested territory. Ticks advance on a fixed schedule — production runs, fleets traverse warp lanes, research completes — whether you're online or not. The galaxy is alive. Your rivals are planning.
Your job is to be three moves ahead before you log off.
Claim Your Sector
14 races. Each one a different game.
Your race shapes every decision — stat bonuses, available technologies, combat behavior, and playstyle. Choose a psionic faction and field weapons others cannot. Choose the Vorath and outgun everyone at the cost of every diplomatic option you have.
No empire survives alone.
Syndicates are player-run alliances at the core of Ariadoss politics. They share production, elect leadership, and negotiate — or wage war — with rival Syndicates. Joining one changes everything about how you play.
Collective Production
Members donate production points to a shared pool each tick. The Syndicate uses this for collective research projects that no individual commander could afford alone.
Democratic Leadership
Every member votes. Vote power scales with fleet strength. An Arbiter who loses the confidence of their Syndicate can be replaced every election cycle.
Galactic Diplomacy
Syndicates maintain formal relationships: War, Hostile, Neutral, Truce, Pact, or Allied. Combat rules follow these declarations. A strong Syndicate can topple the strongest solo empire.
Fleet combat that rewards preparation.
Battles resolve through a deterministic simulation — weapon fire, shield absorption, armor damage reduction, HP thresholds, and morale checks — across up to 1,800 turns. The fleet you design before the fight is the fleet you fight with. If you fail to destroy the defender in 1,800 turns, the attacker loses.
From Commander to Conqueror.
You can be up and running in minutes. The depth reveals itself as you go.
Create Your Commander
Choose one of 14 races and name your commander. Each race carries distinct stat bonuses across environment, growth, research, production, military, spy, commerce, and diplomacy.
Claim Your Homeworld
You start with one planet producing resources each tick. Terraform, invest, and expand to new planets as your fleet grows and your technology advances.
Research Technologies
Direct your research across four disciplines: Signal Arts, Vital Sciences, Void Engineering, and Imperial Doctrine. Each unlocks new components, abilities, and empire advantages.
Design & Build Your Fleet
Equip ships from your unlocked component library across 10 hull classes. Build in quantity, form fleets, and assign admirals whose experience compounds across campaigns.
Join or Found a Syndicate
Coordinate with allies, share production pools, and project power as a unified bloc. No commander holds sovereignty alone for long.
Fight for the Capital
Victory requires holding the Sovereignty Capital. Score across planets, population, tech, admirals, and secret projects — and reach Eternal Sovereign to make it permanent.
