Armada 2526 / Matrix Games

Armada 2526 continues the great tradition of space opera       █ █
      █ █ games. You guide your race from its first interstellar         █ █
      █ █ journeys, until it becomes a mighty galactic empire. Along the █ █
      █ █ way, you'll explore the galaxy, conduct research, diplomacy    █ █
      █ █ and trade, found new colonies, maneuver mighty star fleets,    █ █
      █ █ and fight epic battles. 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 boasts a streamlined play system,   █ █
      █ █ providing games that can be finished in a reasonable time, and █ █
      █ █ emphasizes battle and strategy over economic micro-management. █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ Turn-Based Strategy Map -  The strategy map shows the portion  █ █
      █ █ of the galaxy where the game takes place. Here you'll maneuver █ █
      █ █ your fleets, manage your colonies, and grow your empire. The   █ █
      █ █ emphasis in this part of the game is thinking and planning, so █ █
      █ █ you can spend as much time as you want planning your           █ █
      █ █ strategies, and issuing orders. When you're done, hit the "end █ █
      █ █ turn" button, and your orders will be carried out              █ █
      █ █ simultaneously with those of other players.                    █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ Epic Space Battles -  Battles can be epic affairs with more    █ █
      █ █ than a hundred ships on each side. They are presented to the   █ █
      █ █ player in their full majesty via real-time 3D rendering with   █ █
      █ █ glowing energy beams, shimmering shields, and spectacular      █ █
      █ █ explosions. The action is real-time, both to enhance the       █ █
      █ █ visual spectacle, and to introduce elements of tension and     █ █
      █ █ pressure; however, the emphasis is firmly on tactics and       █ █
      █ █ maneuvering formations, rather than frantic clicking on        █ █
      █ █ individual ships, and you always have the option of pausing    █ █
      █ █ the battle to issue orders. Planetary assaults are especially  █ █
      █ █ intense with ship to ships battles, ground battles and ground  █ █
      █ █ to air battles all taking place simultaneously. If the         █ █
      █ █ attacker doesn't complete the conquest quickly enough, the     █ █
      █ █ battle will continue into the next turn, giving each side the  █ █
      █ █ chance to throw in reinforcements.                             █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ Diplomacy -  With so many players, you need a full featured    █ █
      █ █ diplomatic system. In Armada 2526 you can negotiate offensive  █ █
      █ █ and defensive alliance, non aggression pacts and trade         █ █
      █ █ agreements. Trade money, technology, colonies, ships and       █ █
      █ █ information. You can issue threats and ultimatums, or ask for  █ █
      █ █ favors. Friendships can be made and trust earned, or your      █ █
      █ █ reputation can be ruined by bullying and not honoring          █ █
      █ █ agreements. Negotiations proceed by a series of offers and     █ █
      █ █ counter offers. Hard bargaining can drive the price down, but  █ █
      █ █ being generous builds friendships. During negotiations, you    █ █
      █ █ see an animated view of your counterpart, so you know who you  █ █
      █ █ are dealing with, and how they feel.                           █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ Technology -  There are many different technology items to     █ █
      █ █ research. The game system encourages you to specialize in      █ █
      █ █ particular areas of tech, so as you expand and meet new        █ █
      █ █ players, you will find that they have radically different      █ █
      █ █ capabilities. Many of the technologies are disruptive, and     █ █
      █ █ force you to radically alter your strategy and tactics to      █ █
      █ █ utilize them, or to cope with the lack of. You may for         █ █
      █ █ instance concentrate on building the biggest and best navy in  █ █
      █ █ the galaxy, and then watch in dismay as your ships flee from   █ █
      █ █ and opponent who has mastered the psychic arts, or are         █ █
      █ █ outmaneuvered by an adversary who has specialized in stealth   █ █
      █ █ or hyper space technology. You may have turned your planets    █ █
      █ █ into fortresses, but this won't help if they are infected by   █ █
      █ █ nanobots that eat defenses from the inside out, or if your     █ █
      █ █ opponent is impolite enough to drop an asteroid on your        █ █
      █ █ favorite colony.                                               █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ Powerful AI - The artificial intelligence routines have been   █ █
      █ █ created by an expert in the field, to provide AI players that  █ █
      █ █ are both worthy adversaries, and opponents that are fun to     █ █
      █ █ play against. The A.I. has been built into the game from the   █ █
      █ █ beginning of development and updated to take advantage of new  █ █
      █ █ game features as they are added, giving the developers the     █ █
      █ █ maximum time to polish its behavior. This is in contrast to    █ █
      █ █ many games, where the AI is tacked on at the end of            █ █
      █ █ development. Of course the same powerful routines developed    █ █
      █ █ for the opponents, are also available to assist the player in  █ █
      █ █ managing their empire, and to offer game play advice.
