    Do you want epic battles?

    Do you want breathtakingly gigantic scenes of glorious destruction and heart-pounding action?

    The graphics on this game are amazing, especially given the infinite scalability.

    Giant battles? Why, Yes! Why fight a war with subtlety when you can send.

    This is closer than a player would normally see a Glaive unit in-game, and far closer than is safe for any enemies.
    The actual RTS games are only part of the story. An important element of the game is the vying for position among the different factions for control of various planets. When they are contested, battle occurs.
    This is a map with a small town in it.
