Annex: Conquer the World is an anime themed real time strategy game that brings fast paced combat with a diverse arsenal. Play as one of four factions: The East Ocean Alliance, the NEO Republic, the Shadow Organization, or the Renegades as they struggle for dominance all over the world, competing for a priceless red mineral. The game now contains 4 factions, over 30 tech trees, original maps, and tileset. Built using open source RTS MegaGlest, the focus of the game is multi-player and single-player skirmishes. However there are also scripted scenarios/missions!
The Renegades have a small fleet of transport aircraft which they use to ferry purchased vehicles to drop zones during combat. Pilots are well trained in avoiding detection from the enemy.
Pelican's are not directly controllable by the player instead they appear whenever a unit/upgrade is purchased from a drop zone. They cannot be attacked by enemy units and are purely an aesthetic effect.
Originally, I made this model to be a sort of carpet bomber unit for the Alliance, however the concept just didn't work with Annex and was removed. I later made it work with the Stingray Bomber in Release 3.
And yes I was inspired by The Airstrip from C&C Tiberium Dawn.
Hehe.
