Armada II takes place from stardate 54522 to approximately 1 month after stardate 54760, some six months after the events of the first game. The Borg have been spotted in Federation space using a new vessel employed to assimilate planetary surfaces. The Cardassian Union is becoming increasingly aggressive, and the Klingons are growing tired of their role as peacekeepers. |
| Quote: | Star Trek: Armada II is a real-time strategy game, published by Activision in 2001. The sequel to Star Trek: Armada, it featured improved three dimensional graphics as well as more classes of ships. It also added Species 8472 and the Cardassian Union as playable races.
"The Federation stands on the precipice of another major conflict that threatens the fragile peace we have worked so hard to achieve. It's been six months since we successfully dealt with the threat of the Omega Particle. Tensions between the Cardassians and the Klingon Empire are on the rise, and we've just received word of a renewed Borg threat."
Following some complaints about the length of the Armada version, the single-player campaign was altered for this game; now only three races are involved, and each storyline is mostly independent of the others: the Federation must repel a Borg invasion via a new type of transwarp gate, taking the assault into the Delta Quadrant; the Klingons must deal with a resurgent Cardassian military, whilst the Borg, affected by events in the Federation campaign, must stave off an attack by Species 8472, before combining with the Federation to eliminate this galactic threat. The Romulans are now only playable in multiplayer mode. |

species 8472 is VERY good but they build WAY TOO SLOW |
Slow? No, i don't think so. If i must say so, i find them building faster then the Cardassians.

Armada II is a good game, and enjoying to play with. Especially multiplayer is cool. Only the missions are, just like in Armada I, crap. They're to easy.

I would definately have to say Armada 2. I have downloaded several mods and conversions for it but my favorite by far is this one: http://www.fleetops.net/
Beautiful graphics, some of the sounds could use a bit of work but I don't usually have them on anyway.
Sorry for bringing this back to the top but I thought it wouldn't hurt.
