I played the game here and then I purchaed the gold edition on Gamer's Gate before it was available on Steam. The game is fun to play and moddable. However once you hit turn 200 or colonize 20 planets (this is RAM dependent I found out(16gb, at 32gb you can colonize upto 30-50 planets maybe)) the game has a dramatic slow down in game play. At this point you'll mostly be waiting on the Resource or Population Manager,...

I really wish I could recommend this game. Most of the reviews I've read aren't even aware that this is an unpdate of a game so old is pre-dates MOO and MOO2. So to compare this with the MOO games isn't really fair, since it's just as likely MOO took ideas from the old Armada 2525. There are some great features to the game. In particular, the events notifications after each turn allows itself to be used as a sort...

Armada 2526 is a 4X space strategy. Explore, Expand, Exhaust and Extort your way to victory against a number of rivals. Multiplayer by PBEM or virtual IP connections. Visually it's a little dated but packs some nice features under the hood. It's one of the deeper but also clunkier 4X space strategy games. Gold edition is the base game + Supernova expansion which ads some new features and gives the UI a little bit of...

I've played this game since 2009 when it was released by Matrix. I really love the space map as it's easy to navigate, great to look at and shows everything you need to know. One of the biggest difference to other 4x games is that each race has it's own goals. So it's not so much about conquer everyone but to achieve your own objectives (happiness etc.). The game is really complete with very different races to play...

4X Depends on whether you are playing solo or against other human players!!!! Solo- not very challenging Multiplayer very interesting Further analysis: Solo - this is a "builder" / "researcher" game not a fighter game. The AI is very passive and tends to just build Enormous defensive forces which are challenging to overwhelm in late game. But "winning" depends more on accumulating "racial specific" points rather...

I have owned this game for over two years and i bought two seperate editions for each computer when (if i remember correctly) i bought the basic Armada 2526 and the expansion Supernova at $20 a pop. Twice, once for each computer. So now i have bought it on Steam and i have laid out $100. Now i can play it on either computer without porting problems. The game is by far more interesting to me as my years of playing...

Don't let the hours fool you. I had to use compatibility shortcut so playtime doesn't reflect. It's probably hundreds of hours, including playing from years ago back in the day. This 4X game is a bit of an acquired taste. At glance, it looks "MOO2"-like but doesn't "feel" like that or other 4X conquer-the-galaxy games. It looks/feels clunky at times, like sort of mish-mashed together, like it was put through heck...

In just a short time, I was very disappointed with this game. --Space combat feels clunky, as weapons fire only once per several seconds (at least to start). --The great graphics shown are only visible if you're zoomed way in. Combat starts at ranges where the ships are practically just blue and red blobs. --Building space is severely limited on new colonies, often allowing just *one* building during...

This is a great light game. Fun to play. Set it on Sparse, 7 opponents, 40 x 40 grid and you can play a game in just over an hour. This is great game if you have a little time to kill. I also like to play it while listening to an audible Book.
