| 1226 | 2 | 2000-05-03 14:32:22 | <em>Category:</em> Strategy<br> <em>Description:</em> ASC is a free, turn based strategy game. It is designed in the tradition of the Battle Isle series from <a href="http://www.bluebyte.com">Bluebyte</a>. <p> But that does not mean that we want to clone Battle Isle and won't include any good ideas only to keep "play compatibility" with Battle Isle. <p> The game is currently targeted exclusively for multiplayer games, since we do not have a working AI yet. But we have a tutorial campaign that explains the functionality of ASC and shows most features. So getting into the game should not be difficult. And playing against human players is generally more interesting than against an AI. | Advanced Strategic Command 1.0 | new | |
