Sovereignty is a grand strategy game that incorporates an intriguing mix of strategic management, tactical combat, trading, and diplomacy. They state that the purpose of this beta is to &#8220;explore Sovereignty before release, report any bugs, issues or findings back and contribute to a flawless release later this year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Just this past May we posted <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/2014\/05\/slitherine-sci-fi-and-fantasy-games-what-to-look-for\/#sovereignty\">an article<\/a> based on our visit to the Slitherine press conference. When asked, Sovereignty was described as a game primarily focused around war, though some scenarios may allow for other victory conditions. Whether or not there will be a lot of depth or strategic choices outside of warfare remains to be seen, but both the aesthetics and gameplay of Sovereignty certainly appear unique compared to other upcoming titles. I&#8217;m certainly curious to learn more, but unfortunately no official videos have been released thus far.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few additional sources of info out there for those of you who are curious to learn more, most of which are accessible from their forums. Their <a  href=\"http:\/\/slitherine.com\/forum\/viewforum.php?f=175\">forum<\/a> contains spotlight articles on many of the factions. Also, while as I mentioned no official videos have been released thus far, there is a <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6iTHm9y8_TQ\">youtube video<\/a> about the game that was taken during the annual conference this past May.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in signing up for the upcoming beta, you can do so over <a  href=\"http:\/\/slitherine.com\/beta_test\">here<\/a>. You will need to create a Slitherine user account to do so if you don&#8217;t have one already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matrix Games has announced that they are now accepting beta sign ups for their upcoming turn-based fantasy strategy game, Sovereignty: Crown of Kings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":91,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"registered_only","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[74],"tags":[405,1142,185,542,1405,1416,230],"class_list":["post-11200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcements-and-rumors","tag-beta","tag-fantasy-strategy-game","tag-matrix-games","tag-slitherine","tag-sovereignty-crown-of-kings","tag-the-lordz-games-studio","tag-turn-based-strategy"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/91"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11200"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11200\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
