How many people ever heard of the game i love it and still play it to this day its the only game other than starcraft i have continually played over the years because it is great the AI is amazing

and the supply system makes the game pretty **** good

I suggested that to Optec quite some time ago, but its too much work to do it all over again with some other game plus it prolly isnt as moddable as A2 is. Also the grapics arent better, I like the different quadrants and the supply system though, still some aspects, such as building, wouldnt really fit into a ST game :(

I also suggested to Optec another engine: Hegemonia: The Solon Heritage
The graphics are just amazing (better than homeworld 2 IMO) and the gamestyle really suits a ST game (research and planets are the most important thing - there are more than 200 researches and everything is built at planets). If anyone hasnt played it yet I really recommand it. Or just look at screenshots, you'll be amazed ;)

yeah i know i remember i wanted a similar supply system but they went against it i dont know what they are doing now

heagemonia is amazing i love that game but the problem is that it gets boring after awhile where as conquest has the greatest RTs AI ever conceived

It didnt get boring for me, especially in MP games the game is great as there are so many possibilities for victory :)

Dont mention Armada here

Conquest frontier wars is 100x the game Fleetops is let alone Armada seriously


I can play against the AI and have a battle that will last me over 9h now you tell me thats possible with Armada ?

Conquest is epic the Admiral system just adds so much more fun to the game

Supplies add the great ingredient to the missing RTS space games

and best of all i can loose to the AI 1vs1

Bah those 2 suck just too much. They are just games who rely on their famus previous games(AOE) or on a famus movie(BfME)

i hate the gameplay of AoE

AoE is my favorite RTS series (minus Age of Mythology, that one sucked.).  And despite the faillings of its predacessor, BfME2 is actually gonna be a good game.

in CFW when i play the computer on anything over normal level, all it does is build defensive platforms, and no fleets, it's kind of boring. except when your fighting the terrans, those ion cannon really tick me off. and for some reason the game thinks i have some phantom firewall and it can't connect. so i'm stuck with the cpu players

i have 1.07 too. but i've tried playing online. that stupid firewall crap that came with my computer, it wasn't helping at all so i uninstalled it, and with a few games (CFW included) can't get passed my nonexistent firewall.

i used to have this game i had the demo and i kept fighting on about my brother saying it was B5 just they had to make a new name because B5 was copyright and then i saw the jumpholes what i love ohhhhh so blue and cool and i watched a B5 movie and saw the jumpholes were the same as this game so i think B5 is that game just with a different game but i dont really like B5 and i would really like to play this game again because when i played it i was little and well but everything i got in to battle stations and stuff around jumpholes lol and when the enemy came they blasted my defences down and my planets had to ships to protect them lol i was not very good at the game so does anyone know the link to the demo or if it even is still buyable in the world i dont know at all how old it might be hopefully it is not dying like most games i have like EF lol it is still holding on it has been out for 6 years and people still play it so hopefully Armada 2 will be like this to i cant see it dying at night the amout of people getting on servers i can never get on now it is so fun and i would love a mod for armada 2 from this game it would be good! ^_^  :D
