Empire: Total War	Sega (The Creative Assembly)	2009	[i]Empire: Total War - Special Forces Edition[/i] has 6 additional military units for the player's use. Other than that, it's identical to the normal release.*2009-02-20 Demo release 2009-03-03 Released via Steam (download) 2009-03-04 Boxed release (2x DVD)Command the seas, control the land, forge a new nation, and conquer the globe. Empire: Total War takes the Total War franchise to the eighteenth century Age of Enlightenment -- a time of political upheaval, military advancements, and radical thought, captured in stunning detail in Empire: Total War. Empire: Total War introduces a host of revolutionary new features, including true 3D naval combat. For the first time in the Total War series, you will be able to intuitively command single ships or vast fleets upon seascapes rich with extraordinary water and weather effects that play a huge role in your eventual glorious success or ignominious defeat. After pummelling your enemy with cannon fire, close in to grapple their ship and prepare to board, taking control of your men as they fight hand-to-hand on the decks of these wooden behemoths. In addition, Empire: Total War will see further enhancements to the Total War series' signature 3D battles and turn-based campaign map. Real-time battles will pose new challenges with the addition of cannon and musket, challenging players to master new formations and tactics as a result of the increasing role of gunpowder within warfare. And the Campaign Map -- for many, the heart of Total War -- introduces a variety of new and upgraded elements, including new systems for Trade, Diplomacy and Espionage with agents; a refined and streamlined UI; improved Advisors; and a vastly extended scope, taking in the riches of India, the turbulence of Europe and, for the first time, the untapped potential of the United States of America. Take command on the high seas. New real-time 3D naval warfare takes Total War's unparalleled battle action to the high seas, with players commanding single ships or vast fleets. * Become a founding father. Starting in 1700 - The era of warfare across oceans, revolution and the founding of the United States. * Brand new multiplayer component includes player rankings, leagues and ladders, and completely new gameplay modes. * All new graphics engine and technology features staggering real-time seascapes, new advanced landscape and flora systems, and dynamic weather.

Gratuitous Space Battles	Positech Games	2009	En este juego de estrategia lo más importante es el despliegue: las batallas se ganan antes de comenzarlas. El juego permite personalizar tus naves al detalle, desde la forma, tamaño y ranuras para armas/utilidades hasta cada objeto e incluso el nombre que lleva. Terriblemente recomendable. Y muy divertido por detalles como los comentarios (en serio, míralos) de tus pilotos o por las escenas de batalla multitudinarias. 7 de 10***Rather unusual strategy game where you simply design and deploy your fleet, but the battles themselves are fought automatically with no control over how they behave during it. Fortunately the game offers some priorisation and behaviour customization for each spacecraft which you can fiddle with during deployment.	Windows

Iron Grip: Marauders	Isotx	2011	Iron Grip: Marauders is the first online strategy game to include tactical battles in spectacular 3D, all of which can be streamed in your browser. Thanks to the innovative blending of a browser strategy game with Unity software, the game is able to deliver advanced strategic planning along with great looking individual battles played in a turn-based format, and it's easy to quickly get into the action. Iron Grip: Marauders is the latest addition to the Iron Grip series. The game takes place several years after Iron Grip: Lords of War. In the land of Kathos, an aristocratic country caught up in internal conflict, the strain and turmoil has finally reached a boiling point. The troops of the Rahmos Protectorate States have moved to the southern border in expectation of a pending war with the neighboring Confederation of Nallum; leaving entire regions unprotected. This situation has attracted the attention of marauders: mercenary pirates whose ranks range from highly trained ex-military men to common thieves. Many of these marauders came from Atelia, where they used to serve as soldiers of fortune for the Atelian tribal leaders. As captain of a horde of airship-borne raiders, players roam the vast regions of Kathos in search of good smuggling opportunities and wealthy targets to raid. For the exceptionally bold marauder, there is the option to assault secret bases belonging to Bosses – assuming they can find enough allies to help them complete the attacks. Key features: * Tactical Combat – Fight challenging turn-based battles against fierce AI * Cooperative Multiplayer – Raid powerful Bosses with your friends for big rewards * Exciting Quests – Progress though a series of story based missions * Non-stop game development – Continuous introduction of new game features * Immersive Visuals - Atmospheric graphics bring the Iron Grip Universe to life * Growing Universe – Rich back-story based on the ever-evolving Iron Grip Universe	Internet Only

Men of War	505 Games;Aspyr Media;1C Company (Best Way)	2009	2009-05-06 on Steam, by Aspyr (lang: eng)*Men of War takes place in Europe and North Africa during the height of World War II. The story takes place over three different campaigns and players take on the role of Soviet, Allied and German soldiers. Each campaign has its own scenario and structured timeline, which brings different elements of the war to life. The game features hundreds of accurately modelled historical tanks and vehicles — including new designs of tanks, APCs and heavy guns — all of which are ready for your command. Dynamic in-game cutscenes enhance the single-player by telling the plot, without pulling the player out of the game experience. What's more, the sounds of war have been given a new lease of life, with more than 1,000 sounds effects of weapons and combat gear; all recorded under real operating conditions. The single-player campaign also features a customisable user-interface, so players can have the command controls laid out in their own style. One of the biggest changes for Men of War is the inclusion of a comprehensive multiplayer, featuring new maps and modes, including Capture the Flag, High-Value Cargo and more. Also, there's a refined rating system to ensure a fair fight in online multiplayer battles.

Nexus – The Jupiter Incident	Vivendi Universal;HD Interactive (Mithis Entertainment)	2004	I'm still surprised by this title and it is one of my all-time favourites (even among the favorites). The first (and still the only) tactical starship game I've played, and I haven't seen any others come up since or before. Realistic starship physics - no constant propulsion when they're moving, only acceleration and deceleration - which is amazingly rare in games even these days (and certainly not in the mainstream games). Unusual - if not exactly impressive - story despite its few lackluster elements. Even the graphics look [i]a lot[/i] better than in games made several years later, despite the fact it was made for inferior hardware that ran it quite well. All-in-all this is an undeservingly unappreciated among space simulation/strategy games with barely anyone even having heard of it.**[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 98, 2000 or XP * Pentium III 1 GHz CPU * 128 MB RAM * GeForce 2 GPU * 1.4 GB HD space * 64 Kbps modem for internet multiplayer*Among many others, Nexus was known at one point as [i]Imperium Galactica III: Genesis[/i], but no longer has any connections with that game series nor its [url=/groups/info/4Xstrategy]4X[/url] genre.Immerse yourself in "Nexus - The Jupiter Incident", the latest surprise to hit the gaming world! Innovative and groundbreaking, it is a real-time mission-based tactical space game featuring spectacular real time battles and breathtaking motion picture quality. Focus on tactics and action as you control up to a dozen battleships encountering aliens, unknown solar systems and astrophysical phenomena in your struggle to save Earth. At the dawn of the 22nd century the conquest of space and the colonization of the solar system is being monopolized by several huge and ambitious megacorporations. Although extremely delicate and vulnerable, a balance is maintained by these companies. It has now been 60 years since the terrible catastrophe that befell Noah's Ark, the first colony ship of mankind. At the very edge of the solar system the companies make a discovery which will shift the technological advantage and upset the balance. And so a new conflict is born: "The Jupiter Incident". You are Marcus Cromwell, a young but already famous captain. With your legendary spaceship Stiletto you find yourself in the middle of the conflict. "Nexus – The Jupiter Incident" is what we call a TFS: a Tactical Fleet Simulator. It's like nothing you've played before. The strong, elaborate story takes you from mission to mission and allows different approaches. It's up to you which tactics you choose to bring each mission to a good end. A reward system enables you to repair, upgrade and enhance your ships depending on the approach you chose. Mission briefings let you roam through an unbelievably accurate 3D animated star map system. Are you ready to take on the challenge...? FEATURES Epic campaign with 6 Episodes and more than 26 thrilling missions * Powered by Mithis' unique Black Sun 3D engine * Spectacular real-time battles with breathtaking motion picture quality * Control up to 10 extremely detailed, customizable spaceships from basic to simulation level * Diverse mission types: espionage, fight, stealth, sabotage, rescue, science, etc. * NPCs and crew with improving skills * 6 different alien species with race-specific tactics and 30 alien spaceships * More than 50 unique characters and 90 different weapons and devices * More than 50 capital ship types and 10 small ship types * More than 350 planets, moons etc. in 10 solar systems * Flexible starmap system: animated map objects, light flares, etc. * Zoom in on every planet, moon, comet, asteroid field, etc. in a fully 3D environment * Planet movement based on real physics MULTIPLAYER: * Internet and LAN * Playable alien races with unique abilities * Diverse missions * Built-in voice-com support * In-game browser through HD Interactive's authentication server [?]	Windows
Pirates of Black Cove	Paradox Interactive (Nitro Games)	2011	It’s the 16th century, the golden era of pirates, and this is your chance to become the pirate king and conquer the Caribbean.

After building your fleet, destroy the other two pirate strongholds to become the King of All Pirates. Combining elements from fast-paced naval action to light town management, Conquest of the Caribbean is a game no pirate fan should miss.

Rome: Total War	Activision (The Creative Assembly)	2004	Siendo a día de hoy uno de los mejores juegos de estrategia de todos los tiempos, tanto este como la saga Total War en general son los líderes indiscutibles de los simuladores de batallas inmensas. Este juego resalta por su gran variedad de culturas y unidades, pudiendo ir desde los avasalladores galos, pasando por los temibles germanos, a la máquina trilladora que es la legión romana o el muro impenetrable de la sarisa macedónica, los imparables elefantes acorazados o los divertidísimos cerdos incendiarios... Su elemento más reseñable es el modo de juego batalla personalizada, que te deja recrear todo tipo de batallas por justas, desequilibradas o absurdamente imposibles según la historia que sean. Además incluye el Barbarian Invansion, con culturas como los hostigadores y temerarios hunos, o campañas para los que amen los retos como la casi imposible misión de salvar el Imperio Romano de Occidente. Imprescindible, la mejor propuesta si te estás planteando comprar algún juego de la saga como el nuevo Rome II y dudas si te gustará este tipo de juegos. 10 de 10	Windows

UFO: Afterlight takes us to Mars, where a human colony has been built with the help of the Reticulans not long before the events of [game=#155167]UFO: Aftershock[/game] took place. Mars base is self-sustainable and provides all the necessities for survival of humans on a foreign planet, mainly breathable air, water and food. Although the people inhabiting this colony have the technologies and knowledge required for their further development, basic survival is their major concern. Their only activity is the research of a nearby excavation site, which proves the existence of an ancient intelligent and highly developed alien civilization. The player will enter the game when the research drastically affects all Mars inhabitants. New and unexpected enemies appear in the form of robots, built centuries ago by the unknown aliens for their protection, whose purpose is to eliminate any traces of other civilizations on Mars. Humans on Mars now have a good reason for their own development, even though not knowing yet that the planetary self-defense mechanism might not be the worst awaiting them, and that their unintentional opening of hyperspace gates will bring an even bigger enemy right to their door. After all attempts to contact the Earth Laputa fail, the colonists are left with no other choice than to fight the enemies with their own means, or be annihilated. Key Features General combination of global strategy and tactical missions * completely new story built on the events from UFO: Aftershock * large number of new technologies, weapons and equipment to develop * completely new environments on a different planet than Earth * highly replayable game because of the player's key decisions on diplomacy and research * strong RPG elements, the player knows his team by names Strategy * new enemies and new alien races with variable weapons and battle tactics * several character classes with different attributes, skills and trainings * diplomacy has strong influence on the game story * research enables terraforming of the planet in later stages of the game * improved and transparent construction and building management * friendly interface and easy orientation in the game, useful information available at time and place where needed Tactics * advanced tactical part of the game with the possibility to enter buildings, thermo visions and more * player may use different height and destructible elements of environment to his advantage * tactical missions controlled by intelligent scripts guarantee reasonable behavior of enemies * authentic physical model * player must adapt his tactics during the game as the enemies change and grow stronger, hardly two missions are the same * aliens and robots in your team * hostile environment requiring the use of different types of spacesuits * opportunity to mind-control your enemies and use psionic abilities [Cenega]***UFO: Afterlight belongs to the UFO series - [game=#155168]UFO: Aftermath[/game] and [game=#155167]UFO: Aftershock[/game], released in 2003 and 2005 respectively, and originally inspired by the X-COM series.

Combining a global strategy with small squad tactical combat, the challenge offered is to fight against an alien invasion. Featuring run time generated tactical missions with innovative simultaneous combat action; the genre is also enhanced with strong RPG elements, offering a quite unique mix of strategic ideas. RPG - Your soldiers will improve as they gain more experience. Their skills are derived from these statistics, and each point that you put into any one of these attributes will have a noticeable effect on that soldier's skills. These attributes are: Strength, Agility, Dexterity, Willpower, Intelligence, and Perception Strategy - You must manage your bases, interceptions, and squads. Territory is equal to power in the game - the more you control, the better your interceptor coverage. Also, the faster you research, the better things could be. Tactics - Fighting on the ground against aliens and mutants for the control of territories. Once you control a territory, you can decide what type of base you want there: Research, Military, Manufacture or Biomass repulsion. Combat - Unique combat system features all of the best elements of both turn-based and real-time combat systems. You give orders while the game is paused to avoid the frantic rush of a real time system. While in pause you can give your troops very detailed orders taking as much time as you like. Once you are finished you simply start the game and continue playing. Once the game is underway you can pause the game at any point to update or change your orders and the game will automatically pause when important events occur, so that you may modify your plans accordingly. This combat is combining the finely grained tactics of a turn-based game with the realism of a real time system. Key features: Simultaneous combat (mentioned above) * Randomly generated tactical missions - each playing field will be unique meaning no two games are the same * Intricate, rich and frightening alien setting displayed in full 3D * Over 100 varied mission objectives * 70 plus unique weapons [Cenega]***Combines global strategy with small squad tactical combat in the fight against an alien invasion.
