From the makers of Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander 1 and 2 which kicked the #%&*$# out of starcraft (SCII) on an epic scale! I cant wait for this one and I hope it gets backed.

I pledged 50 bucks but I might go up to the 100 and get into the alpha.

I also pledged... but I don't know if they'll make it. I don't have experience with this Kinskstarter thing. Hope they make it, because the game promises a lot. The graphics remind me a lot to SPORE, which I like very much... except when my poor Verdolagas from the planet Porongonia get their ass kicked... Damn it I've rebuilt that civilization over and over and I still get into trouble in the space age.


When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".

They made 400k/900k within 3 days. I bet they make it and then some.

Already at 2/3rds and going strong. I think this will make it. The only thing now will be how many stretch goals they make. I hope at least two because I want naval units.

I am buying this. And then I am going to play the Total Annihilation soundtrack while playing the heck out of this game. It looks freaking awesome! biggrin


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

FUNDED! Now everyone who was on the fence can look at this as a preorder! Lets get those stretch goals... at least the first one because I want naval combat!

I am so glad that PC games are trying to do away with the middleman (publisher) and all the money goes to the developers. It is better for the developers and for us gamers.

They have made most of their stretch goals (and surpassed their goal by a good bit.)

Just a bit more and they will include a MMO style galactic war campaign.
