Star Trek: Armada II
Activision | Released Nov 10, 2001

This RTS is unlike many others in that there is a huge emphasis placed on modding it, and consequently there is quite an array of extremely impressive mods available which have proved massivly popular. So if you are a fan of RTS, follow Star Trek and want to experience all this wonderful game series has to offer then scope out a few of its sweet-as modifications!

Latest News: Christmas Update
About Klingon Academy II: Empire at War with 2 comments by SquireJames on Dec 24th, 2012
Hello again all,
Not a huge update here, but wanted to keep you all up to date on KA2 progress during this festive time. Naturally my time has been short, what with frantic present buying and two young kids to try and keep said presents out of sight of! However I have more or less completed the Hydran side. AI testing commences tonight once aforementioned sprogs are asleep.
The Hydran Kingdoms now have sound effects, voice overs and all the trimmings, courtesy of several older games and a few online speech generators (Whilst I am of course British and can mimic an upper class British accent, the sort associated with the Hydrans in SFC, I have sort of already done so for the ISC so they'd sound too samey and a bit weird being both voiced by me)
Gameplay wise the Hydrans play very nicely. They are (I would say) best played with a teammate, as alone they are a little prone to rushes. I may have to introduce some kind of Escort to give the Hydrans a starting combat ship. But we'll see how that pans out. I sort of like them being vulnerable at the start as it plays to their lore (they are just rebuilding after being occupied for fifty or more years). Late game though, they will make extensive use of Carrier Task Forces, escorted by copious mounts of Cruisers and even a few Dreadnoughts in there. Fighters are the main punch of the Hydran Kingdoms, although their other ships are not to be underestimated.
Enough of my talking, I thought you might like some previews of the (expanded) Hydran Fleet:
The backbone of Hydran reconstruction efforts, the Peasant Class Construction Tender (HACS)
Colonising new worlds in the name of Monarch-Queen Emoleth III, the Autocrat Class Colony Ship (HFB)
At the forefront of Her Majesty's Destroy Flotillas, the Paladin Class Destroyer Leader (HDL)
Protecting the Kingdoms and keeping foreign invaders at bay, the Pikeman Class Hellbore Monitor (HMH)
Transporting Her Majesty's Royal Marines into battle, the Saracen Class Troop Transport (HAPA)
and finally, one that old Armada II players may recognise albeit in new "clothes", plying the dangerous trade routes between the Hydran Kingdoms and her allies the Gorn Confederacy and the United Federation of Planets, the Merchant Class Cargo Freighter (HAK)
As mentioned, AI testing is commencing this evening. It *should* all work fine but AI is a fickle beast, so we'll see.

ive got Star Trek: Armada but it wont run on wondows 8 and i just want to know would Star Trek: Armada II run on windows 8 or not? because i really dont wana but the game if its not going to run on windows 8
I have a lot of experience of voice acting in games having worked in the industry for years, and I'm willing to lend a hand if you're still looking.
Drop me an email!
Armada 2 is by far the better of the Armada games and I prefer it as the better of any type of Naval Game, even tho it is Ster Trek. I personally do not favor Star Treks flavor but hey... with a race like Species 8472? ... hmm... Zerg?! WEE! Biomechanical Critters who live in organs! Sounds good to me!
The game is an RTS featuring a fully massive collection of fleets in the Star Trek Universe for you to wield. There's alot of ships to be gotten in this game for your thirst of multi phaser shooting frigates. The GFX are quite captivating. Visually speaking the game is... well... it looks like the damn shows and movies pretty much! unlike Armada 1, which looked rather cartoony; the Colors, Textures and Models on Armada too have a very "realistic" feel that their Origianal God would've loved to have seen (aka Gene himself). I do think the master of Star Trek would've loved this creation. Gaming wise, i found this game real fun, even tho im not a Trekkie. Its a good mix of intense war far and space naval engagment with Empire-like managment. You colonize tons of worlds and seek in hunger everywhere for resources. Having the Resources on Infanate Gathering and having your Techs and productions on Expensive and Slow makes this game a worth wild one to play for many hours in one Setting. Realistic wise? i dono wot to say... its... Star Trek... and while im not a Trekkie, i must confess, its pretty damn accurate to the Trek Universe. The only thing i thought was sort'a... strange was the Federation's Scout vessel which is called the Venture i believe. Its a mimic of the custom shuttle that Tom Paris from Voyager designed and created. It looks rather large to the rest of the fleet for being a shuttle that only has a crew of mostly 6 to man it. The Defiant Class compared to that little guy just... seems alil bit off. I personally think that an Obertha Class might've been better, but... eh, that class is real old... i duno, im no Trekkie. i dono wot else exists for the new **** now. The other issue is that I believe that Spiecies 8472 was... like... f'ing godly? In Armada 2, they are very destructable and no where near as strong. Its sorta safe to hear yes, you wont have to worry about having that ring of Spiecies Ships shooting that massive cannon and blowing up one of your colonized worlds (althuogh you do get to use that Ring of Ships thingie tho!, its just not as strong, ... NO WHERE NEAR). It makes good for game balance. thats the only reason why they were cut so far down.
The one thing i LOVED about this game is that it TRUELY Added a 3rd Dimension to the RTS Genre. It TRUELY Added it. Your map is actually a CUBE area, not a flat plane. By right clicking with your mouse, you can scroll a location up or down in Altitude. This makes it possible for your attack to actually riad from ABOVE and enemy instead of Head on from the Standard compass directions. That right made the games biggest impression on me and it simply changes the way you can rush in'a RTS with that ability in mind. Unlike most players who simply mindlessly rush and flood you stupidly with what they believe to be the strongest unit; this game allows you to out manuver them in any direction, warp around them and since nearly every vessel has atleast ONE unique "spell" or special ability? you garuntee you that you can counter any noob fleet of tons of Soveriegn Class ships that might be massing at you.
This game is a Good RTS for the Trekkie Fans. Maybe aside from Klingon Acadamy, i think this is one of the better games to ever hold the Star Trek title on its box
Duuude, I read the whole thing!
