Game Play

OilRush is a real-time strategy game based on group control. It offers mechanics of a classical RTS combined with a Tower Wars genre: control the upgrade of production platforms as well as their defence forces, and send battle groups of naval and air units to capture enemy platforms and oil rigs.

The game can be played with your friends over LAN or Internet.
Setting

In a post-apocalyptic flooded world there are two things running short: oil and time. The last survivors in a desperate desire to seize control and dominate the enemy have started the naval warfare that turned the whole world into one large battlefield. In these harsh and cruel times, oil is thicker than blood.
Oil

Oil that is pumped by oil rigs is the main resource in the OilRush world. In exchange for oil you can buy additional defence turrets and make high technology researches.
Oil Rigs

Oil rigs have no defence; however, maintaining control over oil rigs is an extremely important and difficult task.
Production Platforms

Platforms build attack units of a specific type. You can also equip them with defence turrets to fight against enemy attacks. Applying special abilities to the platform affects all units that are in close range.
Units

Battle groups are formed of several unit types: various ships, aircrafts and submarines. Choose them wisely since you will be struggling against different kinds of enemy defence.
Technology Tree

Making special technology researches brings you more advanced defence and more powerful attack weaponry, including nukes.

@nieknooijens I don't know what comment you're referring to. I just reread all of my comments within the last month, and your reply makes absolutely no sense as a reply to any of them.

@ctsincebay and direct X does? you know direct X won't work on anything non-microsoft do you? so a game designed for the playstation, wii, android phone, apple mac, ipad etc. is required to use openGL or you won't have 3d accelleration!

[ctsincebay]

@sneekylinux Wait scratch that; if you're on Linux you definitely haven't seen SC2 on extreme. Nevermind!

[ctsincebay]

@sneekylinux That's right. Have you ever seen Starcraft 2 on extreme mode? That's nice. Sorry man, OpenGL just doesn't cut it any more.

[ctsincebay]

@foolsgold41 you must be a Linux user -- and not used to seeing REAL graphics.

@ViCEOneTwo a rts with super graphics that runs natively on linux

[plutgamer]

@IRISHMAFIA209 it's a bit hard to program an direct3d implementation for just one platform

[LogicalMan6]

Does anyone know the name of the factions? And when this game will come out?
