The 4 is for the fun factor and replay value for the most part. So given some of the flaws with that, I'd give it a 4 out of 5. A brand new fully-textured version of the Nebula never hurt either.

There's some good mods out there that make the ships half-decent to look at. It has a lot of flaws, like the scales of ships (how does a Defiant become 680 meters long) and some of the stock textures look kinda.lame. Of course, you've got to like RTS (Real-Time Strategy) games to really appreciate how good Armada really is. I still find myself playing this game a lot online. As far as gameplay, the game was pretty fun to play and its replay value was quite high, seeing as I for one played it for years until moving on to other games in other venues such as Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth. Though Armada 2 was supposedly more easily moddable (with the ability to add more races without using weird ways of doing it), Armada 1 is just as easy to mod.

I used to mod this game a lot, and it was a lot of fun both playing the game and modding it. I hope that this has cleared the waters about this game.Įscept for some problems, such as the lack of ships and the funky nebula class, this game was one of the best ever. Apart from that, the gameplay is simple, they use some non-canon vessels, mostly for the Romulan, Klingon, Species 8472, due to the few numbers that we have seen very few vessels from them races (these problems appear in Armada II as well) The most, well some will call it, Controversial problem, is the impliment of the Marines for all races, we know of ground troops for others, but they are all called Marines. Its about time that the Star Trek license is being used to make GOOD games for a change, with Klingon Academy and Elite Force.The game does have a few flaws with it, most notibly scaling as that the Defiant class is about the same size as a Galaxy class. I'm running an AMD K62 550, 192MB RAM, and a Voodoo 5500 AGP with 64MB RAM on the card, and the game runs like a dream.

I recommend a higher end system to get optimal performance with this game.

While the intro movie and cut sequences are pre-rendered, all gameplay, even the beginning of the 'episodes' are rendered using the game engine. Graphically this game is impressive as well. For example, all Klingon and Romulan ships can cloak, to Borg can assimilate an enemy ship to take it over, etc. However there are some racial adavantages that may make one race more interesting to play than another. The gameplay is quite balanced between the four races, none more powerful than the other. This game is top quality when it comes to its easy to use interface, highly detailed textures, and wonderful voice acting by Patrick Stewart, Michael Dorn, Denise Crosby, and other regulars like J.G. The gameplay is similar to most other real time strategy games out there like Command and Conquer or Warcraft/Starcraft. In this game you get to play one of four races, the Federation, the Klingons, the Romulans, and the Borg. Star Trek Armada takes place both after the Dominion war of DS9 and Insurrection for TNG.
