The overall strength and power of the vessels from these two factions has been greatly reduced in the game. Perhaps the most obvious is in regard to the Borg and Species 8472 factions.

Differences from the TV SeriesFor the sake of balance, and to make the game more playable and enjoyable, many departures from the series and the canon universe have been made, especially in regard to the strengths and weaknesses of many of the vessels, as well as the overall size of every entity in the game. The remaining three races are only available in multiplayer and skirmish matches. However,В unlike the first game, only three of the races have playable campaigns (Federation, Klingon and Borg - in that order). The four races from the previous game ( TheВ Federation, Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire, Borg Collective) get many new vessels and abilities, some of which were not seen in the Television series' and were created for this game. The game introduces new two new resources to the original game's dynamic (metal and latinum) and two new races (The Cardassian Union and Species 8472). The story concerns the Borg's development of a weapon that is capable of assimilating entire planets, and their plan to use it against the races of the Alpha Quadrant.

Like its predecessor, Armada II is a real-time strategy game set in the Star Trek universe. Later on, deploy the tried and true wall of mayson turrets and just wait till you can over run the board with sovereigns.Д«org: you said you got that on lock down, but i just assimilate early and often till i can get cubes.OverviewStar Trek: Armada II is the sequel to Star Trek: Armada, and picks up shortly after the first game. If you time it well you can get 5-6 ships causing some serious damage early on. Blow everything to hell!ДЇeds: Get to a warp in asap and then warp into your weakest neighbor, by then you should have a few destroyers on the field. I will use them to ward off any light attacks at expansions.Дominion: Build troop ships, take over enemy constructor (hopefully borg), build mixtech, build dreadnought. Also i tend to build far less defense platforms at my main base as they are total waste of resources. Romulans: Same but i am a bit more aggressive. You may need to switch focus from one AI to another if you see 'player' getting out of control. Keep this up so one fleet is always getting repaired and reinforced and can assist with defense, eventually you'll have more than one fleet on the field. When your fleet has taken enough looses recloak, priority repair, cloak the fleet at your base and swap em. target ship production and construction ships. If you made it this far its looking good, build a second fleet, cloak, travel to enemy base, decloak, blow it all to hell. I then build one fleet and leave it close to my base to thwart off romulan/dom/fed. After your wipe this neighbor out set up shop with mining and defense platforms. Don't get too research happy, i found its better to have more ships early on then to spend resources on making a few ships better.

Focus on hitting this neighbor with bigger and bigger hit and runs until you where them down, then take them out entirely. Klingon:1st priority get 2 additional expansions, then focus on building Kvorts for hit an runs on a specific neighbors constructors.

If i am playing a free for all with multiple merc AIs i use this strat. Do you have any suggestions for keeping the pace up? Also any suggestions for handling Romulans? I suppose the bottom line is that my macro is failing, sometimes despite a theoretically superior position. I actually began to suspect that Dominion AI was inferior from how ineffective they've proven (I randomise both myself and the AI).

The only faction I can seem to consistently do well with is Assimilate Borg. Klingons I can more or less hold on with. Optimise Borg has failed horribly every time. Then my fleet was suddenly overrun by endless waves of Romulans and it spiraled out of control (actually, Romulans are the race I have the most trouble with). Just came out of a dominion game where I slaughtered waves of romulan ships and had a map advantage. In short, my early game tends to go great - bug spam, k'vort spam, double probe/scube all work well for clawing an early advantage and shutting down an expansion or two. I've noticed a problem in my gameplay, though. Been reading through all the strategy stuff on the guide, watched a bunch of replays, cutting my teeth against hard AI a bit. Just got the latest version of Fleet Ops (tried it a while back but then lost access to Armada for a couple of years) and have been greatly enjoying it.
