As much as it offends American pride, the participation of the US in Europe only helped speed up a Russian victory (though it was decisivie in keeping Western Europe free of Russian ...

I just digital downloaded from stardock. [&:] Those of you who are used to easy purchase and play at matrix are gonna be in for a shocker when dowloading for the first time from Impulse. Yea you get an installed game on your computer, but no file ...

I am also doubting whether to buy the game. Unfortunately there are no reviews yet. It seems to fulfil my necessary criteria for a good 4x space game: good diplomacy, no detailed ship design and tactical battles, focus on empire management ...

Nice comment, Lancer. <br/>
<br/>
Looking at this game and forum from the outside looking in as I haven't purchased the game yet. I must say, however, that from my perspective Tom's thoughts, criticism and suggestions only make the game seem ...

<t> Well, when i read all these threads we have 2 kind of different thoughts about Armada 2526. I like it how it is. Moo3 was crap and takes to mutch time for real fun. I want to have fun on small and medium maps and not only on very big maps that takes me weeks to complete. I dont have any problems ...

<t> Nice work Arrodo.<br/>
But can you explain how the rates are working.<br/>
Lets say you have a defence rating 100 and you want to attack that ship do you need 3-4 hits with a missile when your ship has a 30 rating for missiles for ship to ship and&nbsp; attack? And with the interval of 15 ...

In combat are there any range circles? I have no idea at the moment when something is in range so just charge everyone ahead. Its hard to identify own ships on map and identify enemy.<br/>
I may have missed something but a present I can't see ...

I like all these penaltys but what's missing is a pop-up when hovering over details giving malus % and source.<br/>
I love humans, bring on the malus i can deal with it anyways. Who said you needed mines and industrys everywhere.<br/>

<t> @Tom<br/>
I really try to follow you and see the points you are missing. About big fleet battles. How do you control these. I only had fleets with only 40-50 ships max. and that was just great enough for me to control and use nice tactics and have great views with the F6 key. I mean this is the ...

<t> @Tom<br/>
<br/>
Well in all you suggestions you will drop maintenance cost and that invites to build massive fleets(even with ships in reserve)and tons of structures. As with alot other 4x games. You spend most of the time with building your empire and wait for the perfect time to crush the ...

You are asking for the same gameplay as all the other space 4x games on the market now. Yes it need some tweaks but not gameplay changes in my opinion. Otherwise i could install GC2 again and play that one. Yes i tried the tutorial 3 times before i even could make it because you need ...

<t> First of all sorrY for my bad UK language.<br/>
I played the tutorial 3 times, and the thrid try went very well because of reading this forum. The manual lacks information. The first try my economy was a total failure. The second try all went well but the enemy infected and destroyed all my ...

<t> Yes I agree. This game is great but the manual is useless. No info about units etc. This manual only tells you how to use the UI and some startup information. If you are new to this genre of these games you have a hard time to clear out how to play. I,m also missing the games in boxes with great ...

The spacemap where you can colonise systems and build your empire is a 2 map. Also building you empire is turn base. But that is just the great thing. Not like sins where all is in RTS style.&nbsp;

<t> Well i like the combat system for Armada2526. I give orders or group spaceships en set paths in 2d. After that i switch to the F6 key to follow the battle in a 3d kind of view. But to set flight paths and targets i switch to 2d to get the better view. To be honest it takes a while to get used to ...

<r> The graphics in Armada are great for this kind of a game. Homeworld and Sins have better graphics but these games are more focus on tactical combat and spaceship management. But Aramada is a 4x game and only spacecombat is some kind of RTS but empire building is turnbase(WEGO). Armada is the ...

I had the same problem, hope it will be change with a fix. In the meantime if i understand Iceman can i still use these planets only for science ?
