The first full multiplayer version of Sigma is released.
After long last the first complete multiplayer version of Sigma is ready for the public. It's been two long years since this project was initially started and it is quite a thrill to see just how much this has evolved since it began. This version of Sigma includes all the aspects necessary for multiplayer and skirmish matches against the AI. All five factions are playable, and the leaders for each race are all playable. Smaller patches will be released to address potential bugs, balancing, and fleshing out the leaders more, but with this multiplayer aspect and a good framework of the game complete I can finally start on the true meat of this mod: the story, cinematics, and single player campaigns. In the following months I'll be working with Megadroid and his programs to create the first ever campaign for A2, but that's a news article for another time. Download, install, and enjoy this RTS.
What's included in this version?
- 5 playable factions: The Zevestivan, V.R.A, Sov, Mylock, and Ekoset
- 4 unique leader characters to choose from for each faction
- 5 NPC races to encounter
- 5 wildlife creatures to examine or combat
- 14 maps specifically crafted for multiplayer
- Over 2 hours of Monarchy One's soundtrack
- Multiplayer support via Tunngle
Installation: To respect the wishes of the Fleet Ops development team, Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations will need to be downloaded and installed in order to play Sigma. This version of Sigma requires at least version 3.1.5 of Fleet Ops which can be downloaded here: Fleetops.net
Once Fleet Operations 3.1.5 is installed, simply paste the Data folder over the Data folder in the Fleet Ops directory.If it asks to overwrite any files, click yes to all of them.
Known Glitches:
- You MUST play on Sigma specific maps and not Fleet Ops maps (they occasionally cause crashes).
All Sigma maps are conveniently prefixed with "Sigma -" in their names.
- When playing as the Mylock, after summoning Ventus the game will crash if you exit back to the main menu or to your desktop. This
is a Fleet Operations specific bug that will be fixed in a future patch.
- On Windows XP systems when exiting the game you might get a Windows Error Message. This
is a Fleet Operations specific bug that will be fixed in a future patch.
