Quote:
Supernova is the first expansion for Armada 2526 and gives you more to explore, more to exploit, two new races to exterminate, and lets you challenge your friends over a local area network, or by email. The exploration side of the game has been greatly enhanced with new types of stars and planets, and a wide variety of special characteristics that a system may possess. There’s a new trade system that lets you build up a trading network, a system for espionage and special operations, many new technologies to research, and lots of new units types.

Looks promising but like most Matrix Games releases there is no demo.

Which is a shame really because I really like some of their games, armada being one of them.

The chances are that if you are a MOO2 fan, and you liked Galactic Civilizations 2, you will like Armada 2526, especially now with it's expansion Supernova.

I highly recommend that you buy both.

I agree with ollobrain that it beats distant worlds. But the games are very different. DW is very open-ended, kinda like the "Elder Scrolls series for RPG games". In this comparison, Armada 2526 Supernova would be Dragon Age (without score comparison, just gameplay style comparison).

I agree with that, except the elder scrolls series are good 😆

I love this game and I have the original. However, this only has limited turns and therefore, you can't have that much fun when the turns are all complete. 🙁

Just set the turns to 100000 or something at the start of the game. Never understood why the default was a paltry 200 turns...
