War
You take control of a fleet and you have to defeat the enemy vessel using ships, missiles, rays, planes and tons of other weapons and technology assets. It is essential that you use the environment in your advantage in order to succeed.
Diplomacy
As you advance through the game, you will encounter a large variety of AI types which will either team up with or against you. The difficulty grows as you go through the game and you can trade, send support troops to your allies, gain reputation and use it to overwhelm the enemy alliances.
Races
The game pits 20 alien races, each with a unique history, buildings, weapons, structures and scenarios. Here's a list of the races announced so far:
| Ameslarians | Arranos | Brutas | Felidians | Hvalurs |
| Lithodoros | Maa-ar | Mechimeran | Myrmecians | Nosnarians |
| Olagarroans | Proteans | Raefillis | Skiteli | Skribdis |
| Stjornurians | Terrans | Ubarros | Velmenese | Zientzielari |
Economy
It's very important that you establish a strong economy in order to survive the game. The interesting thing is that unlike more strategy games, M.O.R.E.'s economic system will not be so automatic and will require your constant attention.
By the time, you can establish build queues, merge collonies, design and produce spaceships and even destroy entire Solar Systems. Interesting eh?
