ABOUT THE BASE GAME:
Stellar Monarch 2 is a grand strategy 4X where you are the emperor not a logistics officer. It focuses on the grand scale of things with no micromanagement. There are noble houses, rebels, assassins, disloyal admirals.

ABOUT THE EXPANSION:
Old Dynasties expansion focuses s on noble houses and internal politics of the Empire by introducing new mechanics and events.

Major features:
* Vassals – Minor noble houses that are always vassals of a great house. The great houses compete for the vassal contracts.
* Traditions – Each great house has a tradition, the tradition bonus is active if the relations with the house are Cordial or better.
* Renegade houses – Great House can be made Renegade which make them lose all votes in the Council and lose a lot of F.E.D. shares, fiefs, authority and so on. But if too many houses become renegade the people might start losing faith in the whole monarchistic system.
* Star Knights order – An early game guaranteed event which allows you to establish Star Knights, a force loyal to the Empire which can be sent on various missions.
* Duels between nobles – Offended nobles can decide to solve their disagreement via a duel. Such duel can be made with the approval of the Emperor or organized illegally.
* Dissident organizations – Those organizations can activate via events and then increase rebel points generation depending on their power and radicalism level.
* New events – Brand new random events (in addition to Star Knights, Duels and Dissident organizations events) divided into early, mid and late game.
* Other smaller things – Some new projects, perks and other smaller additions.
