[The Fifth Horseman]

Like any other building, Xeno-Archeological Digs can only be built next to an existing structure or a Transport Tube.

I have played this game since if came out years ago and still love it, especially with the enhanced AI engine. I do have an issue with the game on the newer hardware. The planetary grid disappears much like a cloaked planet but I can still see my buildings just not the colored grid markers for undeveloped squares. Has anyone else had this issue and how do I get around it?

Try running the game in DOSBox.

It was a cool game and I really liked it when I was a kid.
Especially the ship design section and the assortment of highly original alien species got me

But it also got a lot of flaws:
Tedious colony managment with exponentially increasing overhead
Unfair , cheating , but nevertheless stupid AI
Fiddly and confusing navigation
NO MULTIPLAYER (that one really pissed me off)

But still a game of high nostalgic value for me

one of the most fascinating games I played ever. Especially the particular abilities of every civilization were unique. I never played another space-game which built up such a good atmosphere. On my opinion there is just one weakness in gameplay: after you have conquered more than five starsystems the micromanagement on every planet gets on your nerves, because for me it was difficult to overview all the projects for each planet.

Hi there. I took the trouble of writing down the tech tree and generating a nice directed graph out of it, so I'm attaching it to this page. If you notice any mistakes, or if you even just find it useful or interesting, give me a message.

I notice Ascendancy is not for download.

The Logic Factory has completely disappeared for the third time!

Ascendancy is abandonware once again.

The Domain name has been grabbed by another different company by the same name. At least I don't think it is the same The Logic Factory.

Check it out at this URL: https://www.thelogicfactory.com/

Hell, I don't even know if Ascendancy for iOS is still available. I never checked since I won't have anything based on the iOS. I much prefer Android.

Regardless, you can get Ascendancy at MyAbandonware.com (http://www.myabandonware.com/game/ascendancy-2qs), or my Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/s/nswvtksmta...dgame.zip?dl=0). Mine at Dropbox includes the Antagonizer and the nougat.lf files.

You can also download my HTML based Ascendancy guide book (https://www.dropbox.com/s/c3qibp92qp...scend.zip?dl=0), which I have decided to try and update. Still working on it.
