Synopsis

One of the first 4X space strategy games which foreshadows the more recent Master of Orion I and II. The game can be played by 2 to 6 players, all controlled by human or AI. There's no real sound in Armada 2525, except for an occasional system beep. The game can be open ended or limited to a certain number of rounds. There is no set objective for the game (except for 4X) and the story is almost non-existent: The year is 2525 and as your race begins its first stage of extra-planetary colonization, you discover that you are not alone in the galaxy. You must compete with up to 5 other races to colonize planets, and the game's near-total lack of diplomatic interactions ensures that you'll have to build defenses from the start. Unlike Master of Orion, diplomacy only comes into play when an opponent demands peace, but you cannot make such requests yourself.
