I've been looking for this insane game for AGES. Then I got it on Ebay.

It's nuts, and if my memory serves, insanely hard and sucky. I must play this legend.

Stage 1: There is no options menu. I'm stuck in 800x600.

Stage 2: My landing vessel in the tutorial!

It flies around, meaning that it almost seems to be trying to evade the mouse. :P

It says ORDER in LARGE MACHO VOICE when you click on it. ><

This is me about to build a mine. I can see numbers. Lots of numbers. O_O

OMG, you assign workers to build stuff. I don't know where they are, but there are workers. I have 40 working on this:

Image

It's the number 40 on the right hand side.

It seems I need an academy to train soldiers AND a barracks for them to live in. O_o

I have some soldiers! They also wonder around aimlessly like the pigeon (yes I am calling it that).

Image

I must now destroy the enemy. The soldiers also have ECHOING TOUGH-GUY VOICES.

The map is a mini planet! It's actually round and you can go completely around it!

I had to search almost the entire planet to find the enemy. Trooper path finding is pretty poor, and they seem to ignore most of my orders. O-o

Image

On the plus side, this game is running on Vista 64 without any special patching or anything. :P

Trying to mine stuff fast enough to get moar extract stuff to build moar mines to get moar extract to build moar...

Image

Oh yea, and the mini map shows where my mouse is on the planet, not my view. I can bind troops to numbers, but when I press the number to select them it auto-jumps to them as well making coordinated attacks a bit irritating.

I had to run it in compatibility mode to view the game movies.

There's no music in the tutorial, but there is in the game.

The ai hack. They were rebuilding their buildings almost the instant I destroyed them unless I had someone standing on them. It encouraged the 'tactics' of splitting up my forces to stop them from constructing new buildings.

Image

Oh yea, and I rushed early on with 10 soldiers. I met their rush coming the other way, but was fortunately able to reinforce and move forwards. I have no doubt I'd have been crushed other wise. There is no difficulty options. It has only one difficulty, and that's the game. I've no idea what it is, but I remember never getting further than the 4th or 5th mission.


Comments please people! :P

I've just discovered a new screen where it says taking over a new planet is possible. What, planets??? This wasn't in the tutorial. Neither was information on vehicles. Which I can't build yet. I know you can though.

Image

I've also found an options screen. You can only access it from in-game.

Image


Oh yea, and as far as I'm aware the only objective is KILL. There don't seem to be any other objectives. The game's intro features stuff blowing up. And things fighting. I couldn't really tell who were the aliens and who was humanity.

The intro to the human campaign features a ship flying through space and a colony. That was it.

I had to guess how to view the planets screen and send my pigeon to it btw.

Image

And yes, that ship is moving. Slowly, but it is moving. Then I'll be able to kill some moar on the new planet. Or something.

Right, it seems when I send it to a planet I need to put resources and troops on it, etc. Otherwise it arrives there with nothing and can do nothing except land. Of course I had no idea I needed to do this until it was too late. Ho hum, I'll send it back. Then I'll try and work out just how I'm actually supposed to put resources on the damned ship.

Can't send it back either. Not enough resources. Game over. D:

They do for the other colony, but it can't do anything to expand to other planets. I was stuffed, so restart. ><

Right, on my second playthrough, I vaguely remembered the need to attack quickly, so I landed my ship next to their landed one (they seem to start at the same stage as me even though they own the planet). I was able to build up slightly faster than them and actually crush them.

Things seemed to be going well.

Then it said something like 'enemy forces landing.'

At first I assumed it was another ship landing and started to hunt for it. Things were actually drastically worse.

It seems that they have INEXPLICABLY ended up with an army FAR LARGER THAN MINE, and by far larger I mean around what must be 100 troops dotted over the whole planet versus my few. They quickly homed in on my base and annihilated it.

Fortunately I'd saved it when I won the planet. Unfortunately this didn't help. There's simply too many, there's no way I can see of actually winning UNLESS, I some how am able to send troops via planets also. If I find out how to do this I may be able to survive.

It was as though the game was trying to punish me for my victory. :o
