Armada 2526

Lead one of 12 races on its first interstellar journey from a single planet until it becomes a powerful pan-galactic empire. From the star map, you'll have to manage your empire, deploy your fleets and conduct research, diplomacy and trade. Plan your strategy. Explore the universe and found new colonies. Turn your planets into powerful bastions. Make pacts and alliances, issue threats or ask for favors - and when the time is right, continue diplomacy by "other means" and fight in a real-time 3D system that brings to life the beauty and visceral carnage of space battles. All with one goal: to emerge victorious and conquer the galaxy. Although the game is complex and deep, with potentially endless strategies, powerful help and advice functions will help you quickly find your way. Unlike many other games in this genre, Armada 2526 focuses on offering a game that can be finished in a reasonable amount of time, and puts the emphasis on combat and strategy instead of economic micromanagement.
