Welcome to the world of Star Trek. Star Trek
Armada is the first real-time strategy (thereinafter RTS) game from the world of
Star Trek. Armada is based ob the classic RTS style as Dune 2. So you have to
dig resources, build structures and units. The whole game is situated in the
universe. The environment is full 3D space, so we can free rotate the camera in
all direction and also zoom. There is a also s special cinematic view, it is an
automatic 3D camera, that moves the screen always to the action in the
battlefield. The resolution is up to 1280x1024 supported, but only with high
performance 3D cards.
The story begins where DS9 (the TV show) ends. After the
war between Dominion and the whole Alpha quadrant, the Dominion is defeated. But
the peace is not long enough, already there is a new greater threat as the
Dominion were. Armada begins, when a federation outpost receive a transwarp
signature. And Capt. Picard already knows, that the greater enemy of the
federations returns . The Borg. Armada contains Single player mode and
Multiplayer mode. Single player mode consists of 4 campaigns (Federation,
Klingon, Romulan and Borg) and 1 final campaign. Beside these races, there are
also Ferengi, Jem. Hadar, Cardasians, Species 8479, Breen, etc. Each race uses
their own vessels and each vessel has besides the standard weapons also some
special weapons.
The main characters are: the crew of USS Enterprise-E (Picard,
LaForge, Data, Crusher, Riker, etc.), Worf as the commander of the USS Defiant,
then General Martok, Admiral Sheila and of course Locutus. All the sounds are
supported by EAX and A3D, so it. s such as in a cinema. The character voices are
originally from the actors. Armada has also the original music by Alexander
Courage. What to say to the end? I think, that Armada is one of today. s
greatest RTS. For Trekkies it is a necessity and for the other a good RTS.
