Conquer the Galaxy In This ‘4x’ Strategy Game.Lead one of 18 different alien races to become a mighty pan-galactic empire. Manage your colonies, deploy your fleets and conduct research. Plot your strategy and turn your planets into mighty bastions. Explore new star systems, where you may encounter tachyon storms, psychic plants, primitives or find abandoned alien technology. Diplomacy is of utter importance in being successful. Make pacts and alliances, make threats or ask for favours - and when the time is right, replace diplomacy by space combat and fight it out in real-time 3D. The trade system lets you trade valuable commodities between both your own and alien worlds. Alien relics, rare minerals, tourists, or even natural anti-matter, your freighters will carry them all. Although the game is complex, and the possible strategies endless, powerful help and advisor features, help you get up to speed quickly. Unlike many games in this genre, Armada 2526 Gold Edition focuses on providing a game that can be finished in a reasonable time, and emphasizes battle and strategy over economic micro-management. All with one purpose: to emerge victorious and conquer the galaxy with your armada.Minimum RequirementsOS:Windows XP with SP2Processor:2,4 GhzMemory:2 GB RAMGraphics:256 MB DirectX® 9.0c compatible video card with Pixel/Vertex Shader 2.0 supportDirectX®:9.0cHard Drive:3 GB HD spaceSound:DirectX® 9.0c compatible sound cardRecommended RequirementsOS:Windows 7Processor:3,0 Ghz Dual CoreMemory:3 GB RAMGraphics:512 MB DirectX® 9.0c compatible video card with Pixel/Vertex Shader 3.0 supportDirectX®:9.0cHard Drive:3 GB HD spaceSound:DirectX® 9.0c compatible sound cardGenres: Indie, Strategy Age Ratings: ESRB: EVERYONE 10+, FANTASY VIOLENCEPEGI: 12, ViolenceUSK: 12Publisher: Iceberg Interactive B.V.Developer: Nitronium GamesInstructions: In order to activate this game, you will require a third-party \'Steam\' account.
