About Armada 2526

Although the game is complex, and the possible strategies endless, powerful help and advisor features, help you get up to speed quickly. Unlike many games in this genre, Armada 2526 focuses on providing a game that can be finished in a reasonable time, and emphasizes battle and strategy over economic micro-management.

The game consists of two sections. The Star Map is where you run your empire: manage your colonies, deploy your fleets, do research, and conduct diplomacy. It uses a turn based system, so you can take as long as you wish to plan your actions. However, once battle is joined, you switch to the battle module and fight it out in a real-time 3D system that brings to life the beauty and visceral carnage of space combat.

It's just another game like the Civilization - "bad" graphics and superior gameplay. Have to agree with capkill. The last few CoD's were all the same except for the campaign which was WAY to small. Why buy Black Ops when its multiplayer is the same as Modern Warfare's?

Go back to the old school games, where gameplay mattered, and not the imba graphics. :)

THEY SHOULD.. MAKE.. HOMEWORLD 3

[Khazore]

@TheOnionkun They Can't.. There's some legal crap blocking the whole thing..

[BlenderHelixAlpha]

[ljoch88]

May the dislike bar reach the size of ron jeremy !

[Svobodnoeim9]

Like game from 1998)))

[jpvg1981]

@ReinierSanders Civlike RTS, so many of em, allover the place.

[jpvg1981]

@Fliuck I personally feel it's an artistic great job, the alternative had been a 2d picture with a number next to it, this is definitly better.

[Fliuck]

@jpvg1981 I know that this is not realistic,but moving something that large would take a starship's sized anti-gravity generator to compensate for their size. I know that they are representational but still, I feel that if you are going to have a bloody large mecha then have something smaller then it to show it's scale.

[jpvg1981]

@Fliuck Really? it is tokens to show that you are invading, it isn't meant to be realistic.

[Fliuck]

With all respect to this game I feel two things are wrong with it.

1. those ground units must be the largest ground forces I have ever seen, hell they beat an Emperor-class Titan from 40K in shear size.

2. While setting up a galactic empire I really don't like the feel that I would be engaging on a 2D plain sorry but use EAW as template at least they got the idea.

Yes freespace lacks a few features, but you still have to admit that freespace is a good game
