I give Unification Wars a 4/5. It's a great game with many features. A few of these include: a long list of projects to invest in, a complex infrastructure system, federation (clan) options, 3 free races and 3 paid, a diverse ships selection, and a life-like supply and demand market system for selling and purchasing resources. The races all have their own advantages and disadvantages. If a player doesn't want to be combat oriented, he can be fiscally oriented and make money to invest in the market and develop his projects, such as the century temple.
The battling system is very developed. There are five attack types which all have different results. The most common one, for instance, would be the "invasion" attack type which steals planets from the defender when the attacker wins. You are not always vulnerable to these attacks, however, because an excellent damage protection system is in place. This system puts an empire into damage protection (cannot be attacked) after it has been attacked 5 times consecutively without building ships. This protection lasts for 30 hours.
The only reason I don't give the game a 5/5 is it does have some problems. It is a bit buggy, but any game with this many options is bound to be. These bugs are being worked out, I'm confident it will be a 5/5 game very soon.
These are an outline of just a few of the game's features, and there are many more to be discovered by the player. I would recommend anyone that's interested in text based strategy games to play this game.
