:0 hegemonia is alot like rebellion .... special chars have special attributes that affect morale, ship stats, research, espionage etc. There's all the special missions like sabotage espianage assassination etc. research, planet moral etc. planet colinization and buildin and research etc etc etc .... it's jsut more like u said layed out in a 3d combat format .. but thats not what the game is solely based around.
