█ █ On with the game release information: █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ 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. █ █
