In Sins of a Solar Empire II, players must guide their faction against the threat of extinction with three distinct races: the Trader Emergency Coalition, the Vasari Empire, or the Advent Unity. Each race has been updated with their own asymmetric playstyle including unique starting conditions, units, abilities, and game-changing Empire Systems.

[h3]Sins II will give players more tools than ever to form their own play styles as they battle, scheme, monopolize, and manipulate their way to victory. [/h3]
The sequel also introduces new emergent tactics and strategies that reward creative thinking. Players can protect vulnerable units by body-blocking missiles with their Titan, launch a surprise attack from a rogue asteroid when its orbit reaches the enemy's back line, or guard themselves against a backstab with a time-locked alliance.

“With new ways to play, new tactical options, and new strategic elements, the time is right to bring Sins of a Solar Empire II to a new audience on Steam,” said Brian Clair, Director of Publishing at Stardock.

• The Advent Unity race returns for Sins of a Solar Empire II with two sub-factions that utilize new items, mechanics, and the unique “Unity” Empire System

Sins of a Solar Empire: Ultimate Balance Mod
After making TEC and Vasari guides for the vanilla sins, I was on my route to making the advent guide. However at some point I have realized, that instead of making a guide around unsatisfying balance I could make a *balance* mod, which would introduce not only equally balanced races, but also asymmetric balance. The latter one was a real challenge.

Ages of the Federation is a new series of total conversions to Sins Of A Solar Empire: Rebellion.

A resurgent Romulan Star Empire, angry and still licking its wounds after their defeat to Earth and her allies waits in the shadows, ready to take advantage of any misstep by either the warring powers.
