Then you can simply compress the game directory as it is and store the resulting archive. Therefore it is recommended to install the game completely at least once and to apply the patch 1.2. Then you have to get the corresponding files from someone else and copy them in manually (the patch installer looks in the registry for the path in which Armada should be installed, but it doesn't exist with manual “installation”). In this case the patch cannot be installed normally, because the information from the registry is missing. The contents of data must be in the same directory as the rest, but without the directory data containing it. In this case it is necessary to copy the game manually by simply copying all the files from the setup directory of the installation CD to a directory named accordingly, with the exception of the data directory. Under Windows ME, I've found that the moment you click Change Directory, the installer freezes the entire system. If you install the game, then the first major problem may already occur during the installation. The game requires DirectX, but this is included. The game comes with its own installer, which (especially on older computers) takes quite a long time to install the game, but that's normal. Therefore, keep a pre-installed version to be able to copy it over. So install it regularly and apply the patches. On a fresh Win 98 Armada does not run from a copied folder. 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.Īt least under Win 98 it is almost mandatory to install the game.

The Romulans also have an interest in the Omaga particle. While the first tries to assimilate the Alpha Quadrant (and take possession of the Omega particle), the Federation fights against those very attempts. The storyline starts after the Dominon War and covers the four races Borg, Federation, Klingons and Romulans. After Star Trek: Armada Activision did not develop own games any longer, working only as publisher.

It is actually the last game being developed by Activision itself. The game was developed by Activision and also released by them on 22nd of March 2000. In multiplayer, however, you quickly notice that macro management also contributes a lot to who wins and who doesn't. Basically, it's all about overpowering the enemy with good attack tactics and a good selection of special weapons. In particular the special weapons offer a rich strategic moment. Armada is a real-time strategy game in which you build fleets of starships, research weapon systems and all that for four different parties, but without a complicated economy, such as in Stronghold Crusader.
