| ===== Info ===== | ===== Info ===== |
| Armada is a real-time strategy game in which you build fleets of starships, explore weapon systems, for four different parties, but without a complicated economy, such as in [[Stronghold Crusader]]. In particular the special weapons offer a rich strategic moment. Basically, it's all about overpowering the enemy with good attack tactics and a good selection of special weapons. In multiplayer, however, you quickly notice that macro management also contributes a lot to who wins and who doesn't. | Armada is a real-time strategy game in which you build fleets of starships, resaearch weapon systems and all that for four different parties, but without a complicated economy, such as in [[Stronghold Crusader]].

| The storyline starts after the Dominon War and covers the four races Borg, Federation, Klingons and Romulans. While the first tries to assimilate the Alpha Quadrant (and take possession of the Omega particle), the Federation fights against those very attempts. The Romulans also have an interest in the Omaga particle. The Klingons, on the other hand, are driven by Toral, who tries to install himself as ruler with the help of a fake sword of Kahles. | The storyline starts after the Dominon War and covers the four races Borg, Federation, Klingons and Romulans.

| ===== Screenshots ===== | ===== Screenshots ===== |
| You create them with "CTRL" + "ALT" + "Z". But it only works in the game, not in the menu. This means that you can't take screenshots from the final list (stats). However, for some it works that you switch the game with ''ALT''+''Enter'' into the window-mode when you are still in the game, and then just make the screenshot with Windows. It's cumbersome, but you get a result. You just have to switch early enough, because ''Alt''+''Enter'' doesn't work in menus. | You create them with ''CTRL'' + ''ALT'' + ''Z''.

| ===== Controls ===== | ===== Controls ===== |
| Armada itself has quite an efficient control if you know how to use it. Almost everything in the game is accessible via shortcuts. All special weapons can be triggered via the F keys. Units can be combined with ''CTRL''+''<number key>'' to squads of maximum 8 units and then directly selected as a squad by pressing the corresponding number keys. Saves a lot of time, especially since you often lose track of single units in the heat of the battle, because all ships of the same class are (optically) indistinguishable. | Armada itself has quite an efficient control if you know how to use it.
