Armada II

[Destructor]

I was a HUGE fan of the original armada, had all sorts of fun with it, but strangely never picked up the sequel. Was this any good? Any good mods out for it?

They released a demo for it which I downloaded and tried. It was ok, but I liked Armada I better.

It was very good but could have been better. In particular the ships all feel very weak in them and battles are over much quicker than in Armada 1. If you get it you should try the fleet ops mod for it. It's awesome.

I tried the demo and...ugh. I guess I've just moved on from the whole 'gather resources' part of RTS gaming. Dawn of War has ruined it for me. I found Armada ][ virtually unplayable, quite after five mins.

I loved playing it, but then again, I also loved playing around with the game's files. Ah, the good old days of Hex editing...

Its not as good as Armada 1 in terms of both plot or gameplay, but definately worth the while playing.

I have never bought Armada II though I own (and have recently taken up again playing) Armada I.

Does anyone here still play Armada I? I've been playing with some of my old saved mods for it and can't really find any really good ones online and I'd love to make mods that make the game super-accurate... but I'm not sure if I want to invest the time. Anyone have any good/favorite mods for Armada?

My favorite mod for Armada 1 was the Millenium Project. http://armada2.filefront.com/file/Millenium_Project;70401

I did quite like Armada II though I do agree that it wasnt as good as the first Armada game in terms of gameplay and storyline. One thing I did find disappointing in Armada II was its idea that once you built larger ships, the smaller ones were more or less obselete. I mean I remember in Armada I when I used to take the Klingons and their Birds of Prey were always good raiders which isnt the same in Armada II where they can get bashed around quickly if the enemy has teched to more advanced ships.
