Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations Out Now!
Like a fast approaching object on a radar console, the release of Command has been coming closer and closer over the past few weeks. We now have visual contact! Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations is out now!
|
 | | Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations Trailer Video |
Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations puts the player in charge of air and naval operations in any period from post-WW2 all the way to the modern day and even the near future at the tactical and operation scale at sea, on land and in the air. The sheer variety of equipment and missions is staggering and you can refight the air war between Iran and Iraq, retake the Falklands, hunt down rogue nukes in Pakistan and much much more.
You will be amazed by the accuracy of the 3D reproduction of the entire earth globe and even more impressed by the level of control you can have in the management of the game.
Realism is the keyword: terrain, weather conditions, sensors, weapons, vessels, airplanes and submarine characteristics, the AI reactions and technology are modeled exactly on real life weapons systems.
On top of this, the easy to use scenario editor will let you create your own battle or edit an existing one. With Command the possibilities are endless.
You don't have to take our word for it. Here are few examples of the reactions from our 600+ beta testers:
-
MarkAdmiral says "This is the most accurate and flexible commercial simulation of air/naval modern warfare bar none - there is no comparison with any existing sims. I am amazed at its scope, from counter-terrorism operations all the way up to global thermonuclear warfare simulated with realism and painstaking attention to detail. Conflicts from the Korean War to modern issues such as the Senkakus, South China Sea, Strait of Hormuz, and Syria are all simulated or can be simulated with the tools provided. I was able to whip up simple scenarios with the editor quickly and easily -this game is a superb sandbox game as well." Read more from Mark Admiral at
- Hellfish6 says "It's exactly what I wanted it to be, and it kicks the snot out of JFC. Actually, after playing Command, just thinking about Jane's Fleet Command makes me frustrated. You guys did a really good job with expectation management as well - I got exactly what you've been telling us about. And my God, that editor is a dream to use. Even the briefing editor - so freaking simple and powerful! It makes me want to make scenarios, which I think is about as good as an editor can get. " Read more from Hellfish6 at http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3289377
- Primarchx says "I am thoroughly impressed by this game. It is everything I expected, and I expected a lot. This is a rare, precious thing when it comes to computer games in my experience. When I showed my wife around it a little bit (she was wondering where I disappeared to over the weekend...) her comment was, "Oh, it's like war on Google Earth." That captured one aspect of this game that I am absolutely blown away by - real time, global military operations on a topographically accurate globe. I mean, where has this ever been possible before at the scale/scope of Command?" Read more from Primarchx at http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3289377
- Baloogan says "My patience has been rewarded by being able to watch such a wonderful game take shape! It truly is the new Harpoon 3, which is really high praise!" Read more from Baloogan at http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=3364250
- ArchitextSebi says "Command is everything I ever wanted Strike Fleet to be. I feel like a little kid again playing the best computer wargame ever." in the private developer forum.
- Sakai007 says "I am really loving the editor btw. You stated in a different thread that your goal was to provide fans of the genre with the ultimate sand box to play in, you nailed it right on the head." in the private developer forum.
We have to stop here because the list is too long!
If you don't want to take our beta testers word for it then you can also read what the press is saying:
Our beta testers have also written a number of After Action Reports (AAR's) detailing scenarios and how they play out to give a readers a good feel for the game. Here are a couple of examples.

Civil War II releases on the 151st Anniversary of Antietam with the Civil War Trust
"It is a revolution; a revolution of the most intense character; in which belief in the justice, prudence, and wisdom of secession is blended with the keenest sense of wrong and outrage, and it can no more be checked by human effort for the time than a prairie fire by a gardener's watering pot".
Judah P. Benjamin, Senator from Louisiana, (1860)
|
These words foreshadowed the most terrible war in American History. A war which changed the fate of a nation. A war which turned brother against brother. 151 years ago, on September 17th 1862 at the battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day in American history, with 22,717 dead, wounded, and missing took place.
151 years on we look back at this epic struggle and want to know more. At AGEOD ( www.ageod.com) we allow you to do just that! In Civil War II you take command of the Union or of the Confederate States of America and must try to steer your nation through the turbulent times ahead. This grand strategy games puts you in control of everything from production and recruitment, to diplomacy and more importantly the war effort. You'll be commanding vast armies and testing your skill against the AI or other players online.
 | | Civil War II Trailer Video |
Civil War II is a deep an engaging strategy game with a huge amount of flavor and historical research.
The innovative play system has both sides issuing orders and then executing them simultaneously so much of the skill comes from predicting what your opponent will do and where they will be, not where you see them at the start of a turn. This makes for a very exciting and realistic experience. You really get a feel for what generals went through 150 years ago. There are hundreds of units and over 300 generals, all with their own portraits and background - it's a huge game.
There are a host of new features in Civil War II, of which here is a sample:
- 'Regional decisions' that allow special events such as the attack of Confederate submarine CSS Hunley.
- All new map covering a much larger play area stretching from the Rockies to the Caribbean and even down in to Mexico, allowing for new campaigns. There are 5 main scenarios from the battle of Shiloh all the way up to the Grand Campaign.
- A completely new look and feel that enhances the immersion and makes the game easier to play with numerous UI improvements and new features.
 | | A selection of regional decisions available in game |
For anyone with any interest at all in the Civil War this is a must have game.
But you don't have to take our word for it - here is what the press is saying!
- "Looks Great, Plays even Better" - Real and Simulated Wars
- "Everything is made Clearer and Faster" - Der Stratege
- "For all Yankees and Confederates, CW2 is an Hurrah!" - Tactical cancer
An insider look at the game? Below you can read some After Action Reports made by our Beta Testers:
And if all that was not enough we have something else to share!
If we have not persuaded you that this is a game you must have then let's just add one more thing! Ageod has teamed up with the Civil War Trust, America's largest non-profit organization devoted to the preservation of American Civil War battlefields and is donating a portion of the proceeds to help this great organisation. Get more information on Civil War II from its official website. BUY NOW!
