DukeLeto Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 I just thought we needed a break from anything WW/Blizzard, so...Does anyone here have this game? It's really cool, huh? I like the Borg Tactical Fusion Cubes. HEHE! ;DSo, post your opinions, strats, anything about Armada II (or I). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exatreide Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 oh i hate those things.....well my shadow ships make short work of them ;D ;D ;DI want to try the game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 I only played aramada 2 demoI do have Armada 1 though.Well what can i say... very nice graphix. The game does not deserve a price for originality or whatsoever but it was good to have a fun star trek rts. The campaign is pretty cool and also custom battles are cool. Unfortunately the music is kinda bad and that could've been done a lot better since it has so many movies and stuff.Still the game is pretty relaxing to play, but not half as strategic as many other games. The borgs are fun to play with, irritating to play against... holding beams and assimilator beams... god i hate those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gryphon Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Think 2 is better than 1. Ok it's a lot like it but it fixed a lot of bugs and the grafics are way better. You can also manage your fleet better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I got this game recently- it's sooooo cool O0Finally, 3D movement! And Cardassians! Join Cardies or die! O0I got Armada I too (it was in a multi game pack, I got Elite Force too) but sound is distorted with that :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeLeto Posted December 9, 2002 Author Share Posted December 9, 2002 Yeha, the sound in Armada 1 is screwed up on XP. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O0I got Armada I too (it was in a multi game pack, I got Elite Force too) but sound is distorted with that :(Well. its a lot like the first one. I wouldn't recomend geting it if you din't like the first one. Think of it like a huge upgrade with new units and everthing. But baseicly the same game.On the other hand if you din't get either i would recomend geting the 2 one. Since it is funner. and for about the same price.

Anathema Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Anyway, I haven't had a chance to play this game a lot but the coolest faction is definitely Cardassian O0But in the series they did not have cloacking devices like they do in Armada II.

Andrew Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 so far i have found the borg fusion cubes to be very powerful, only need like 4 and can take over the map(AI on hard, me and one AI vs 6 other AI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 I think torpedo turrets are to powerful, and I wish the stand ground order actually worked >:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeLeto Posted December 15, 2002 Author Share Posted December 15, 2002 Humm, yeah it's annoying to have your powerful fleet warp into the enemy base chasing a single scout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneezer3 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 I think torpedo turrets are to powerful, and I wish the stand ground order actually worked >:(What game? the first or second?I found on the first one if your borg on a 1 vs 1 map with astroids and a wormhole. well lol you can make a buch of turrents right near the wormhole. Just make sure you have inf Minurils turned on. and your computer isn't borg or Romulin<They have Sience vessles that can move though rocks> And lol. you got them beat preety much! with just 1 wormhole. and turrents and scaner things around it. they can't get in! while meanwhile your building up borg cubes and that trasnwarp building! ;D try that some time if you have the first 1 just make sure you got all of the setings right. and most importently be quick to get those turrents! and don't forget the ones that can scan!Try this some time on the first one! ;D :D ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ordos45 Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 I loved Armada II, especially Tactical Fusion Cubes (almost unbeatable). I say loved for a reason:My computer is less than a year old. I downloaded the Star Wars Vs. Star Trek Mod for Armada II (The one for Armada I rocks). After I installed this 44MB mod (which took 5 hours to dl on 56k), I decided to try it out immediately. I apparently do not have a 3D8 Accelerator Video Card needed for the Mod. Funny, I thought that I had that video card, but it says I don't. I can't only uninstall the mod, if I want to get it off I have to uninstall the whole game now. *growls* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 Wanna play a wicked starwars vs. startrek mod? Try the one for homeworld.The best mods for homeword however are the independent Star Wars Academy and Star Trek mods. They're incredible. Probably the best mod i've ever seen. Maybe not as enteraining as counter strike. But more impressive nonetheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 A bit offtopic, but does any one of you also play StarFleet Command III ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 SFC III? ehm.. you must be mistaking. Never heard of it. You probably mean SFC II. I did not play it. But i do have SFC I. Which is almost the same. Realy nice game. Good graphix and nice action. Only the energy management can be quite irritating at timeseditet from here:hmm ok, i indeed found it. But it was not created by interplay right? Cuz they only have license on the old generation. As far as i've seen now, SFC III is about the next generation of star trek, and only activision has that licenseunbelievable, i never heard of it. Never read about it in game magazines, and it says that already an add on has been releasedanother edit:ah i c. The game is for download, only 26 megabytes. hmmm i wonder what kind of game it is. SFC 1 was kinda cool. only a bit hard though. But it had that great star trek feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 Yep, it's in stores now.[ atleast where I live it is .. don't know about you :) ]But I think the download you've found is a Demo version or just a movie about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 ah ok, i live in Gelderland, i haven't seen it so far. 26 mb is probably a movie yeah. Demo's are usually about a 100 mb these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 That does it, Gelderland ;D[ don't think non-Dutch people can really see the humor in that ]Anyway, I've seen it in Eindhoven sofar .. going to be in Rotterdam on Monday and The Hague on Thursday see if they have it there.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
