I loved this game.The only thing I hated is that their are no missions for the cardassians,romulans,or species 8472.You can play them in instant action.
Have a look at the Star Trek Armada II Fleet Operations Mod (just google it) - it's great, virtually everything is updated and improved! Actually, it's much like Armada III if it had ever been published!
o men the kardashians are back, now is space as well, .. dammit, they are all over the universe.. and yet, are famous for NOTHING at all!!!.. except the poor quality sex tape kim kardashian did.. :DDD the Cardassians indeed :DDDD
I think it's weird how in Armada 2, the Cardassians are portrayed as an extremely powerful empire that have awe inspiring weapons, whereas in the series, they are portrayed as a realtively weak empire that fight a losing war with the Klingons.
@Omnikron228 You want to know something really screw up..
There is an early epsiode in TNG where the Enterprise fights a Cardassian warship in series 4 or 5 and data mention the Cardassians don't have sheild technology nor do they have weapons to take on the Enterprise. With just two shots from proton torpodos they took out a Cardassian ship really easy and it blow up. But when DS9 came around and during season 8 of TNG the Cardassian technology was on the same level as Federation.
@WarshipAngelus I can remember that episode in TNG. As for explaining how they got the new weapons and shields in DS9, I think the Dominion gave it to them as soon as the Cardassians joined. That's how they got be so powerful, temporarily at least.
@WarshipAngelus If the Cardassians didnt have shield technology then they had strong armor plating. Because the Cardassian war ship is supposed to be a tough fight even for the Enterprise They are very powerful ships. However you could just say that there technology advanced or like Omnikron said they could have had integrated technology from the Dominion. Or its one of those unfortunate things where the writers dont explain it like the Klingon forehead which didnt exist in the original series
@Omnikron228 The Cardassians were a huge powerful empire in the series. It wasnt until Deep Space 9 season 5 when Worf came aboard. This was when the Klingon's (LOL my computer didnt mark Klingon as a misspelled word. Its in my computers dictionary) denounced the Klingon/Federation treaty and went to war with Cardassia and The Federation. By the end of this war The Cardassian Empire was brought to their knees. It wasnt until they Joined forces with the Dominion that they reclaimed their empire.
@Blade5276 I can remember occasional hostilities between the Federation and the Cardassian Union, but other than that, the Federation never minded the Cardassians as a big enough threat until the Dominion War. And O'Brien's prowess at Setlik III showed how strong the Cardassian going head to head with the Federation really was. Lol, I sound like a Trekie Geek, but I don't care. YAY NERDS!!!
@Omnikron228 Your right I dont think the Cardassians were overly hostile with the federation but that slowly changed when the Federation got involved with the Cardassian occupation of Bajor. Which then manifested into the Dominion war. With the creation of the DS9 show the Cardassians became a metaphor for the Nazi regime and of course the Bajorans became a metaphor for the Jews. which gave the Cardassians a more sinister quality then first depicted on TNG.
I thought that Armada 1 was much better. I felt that the controls in Armada 2 were too clumsy to quickly control the ships and stations. Also, the graphics quality in 2 BLEW! The graphic detaling seemed to be quickly drawn. Even after setting the graphics settings on both the game and my video card to max, the detailing was still a ROYAL MESS! On a plus note, I did like the new stations, ships, and special ship and station features.
I remember I used to play this game, I must have clocked up 30 hours or something on random skirmishes ;-D I loved the large tactical cubes you could create with the Borg, and assimilating planets looked so pretty 3-5 years ago. I can't believe I lost the disk, I have GOT to get it again.
they do have a lot of weaknesses though. If I was the federation, I used defiant class ships with a lot of anti-matter mines and sov. to reflect the attacks. I was the klingons once and shut down the engines next to a black hole and watched the giant fall in
@Trekky623 Armada 1 did have a better plot and it also had better textures for ships and stations....better structures and voice acting for the borg too....
If you guys like this game, which I do as well. Check out the fleet operations MOD for Armada II. Even if they sold it in stores right now it would be totally worth fifty bucks. So it's even better because it's free!
@quaddmgtech heh its obvious creation of a fusion cube is possible but only when playing as the borg i mean i myself have done that before in the instant action section n belive me the devestation that these fusion cubes can bring is really huge.
I know, but aboard the Incursion? A classified, experimental stealth ship. It is the worst place to take a Romulan (unless it's one of those few Romulans you can trust).
Well, it doesn't totally suck on console. Halo Wars is pretty decent. I enjoy it. But you're right that it's no where near as in-depth an experience as Armada II. God I wish I could find my copy again. Freaking love this game.
Halo wars sucked as a rts and on the console that game was justa horrible game the only good thing about that game is that is's storyline was good it wouldve been alot better if you could be a shooter not the Chief just a regular soldier it wouldve been epic and thrid person this time not a 1st person!
man, i can tell want i have done with my armada 2. Modded over years, and now, it doesn't work anymore. I just remebered, when i saw it, that i had done a "Loctus tactical fusioncube". 12 times bigger than the orginal one, and invinceble. All good things....
'lol since when did hte cardys ally themsleves with 8472?'
They don't, they just figure out how to bring an 8472 ship though to our universe. Even if the Kulinor (the class of ship that summons the bioship) is the closest, the 8472 ship will attack it. Simple really...
