Short summary of the gameset "The Galactic War"

War rages through the galaxy. All races fight over the possession of a few inhabitable or resource-rich planets. Great battles are fought around the known planets while scouts fly through the galaxy in hope of finding more useful planets.
One day a scout carrier of the Igleran got lucky and discovered yet another planetary system, inhabited only by primitives who barely left the orbit of their world. They believe that those primitives would pose no problems to their mighty race but would provide them with a good slave population.

While this general assessment of humanity wasn't wrong, the united armed forces of Earth barely managed to destroy the carrier and it's scouts - at a heavy cost in lives and equipment. But none of the survivors knows who or what will appear in reaction to the carriers emergency calls.

This is the point at which the game starts. The player is in control of the few remaining fighters and wide areas of Earth have already become nuclear wastelands as the result of the first battle. Now the player has to develop non-nuclear weaponry capable of repulsing and defeating the alien thread.

Special points of the gameset

Split research tree: The gameset uses a diverging research tree where the player has to choose which weapon and defense technologies he will use. With this decision he will affect the storyline as well as the tactics necessary to win - the weapons will have different firing ranges and power. Three different weapons and three different armour technology trees are already in the gameset, with a total of about 25 technology trees planned.

completely scripted UFOs: All enemy vessels have their own script to determine their flight paths and react differently to attacks - some flee while others counterattack. Also the UFOs do no longer appear according to a timeline (as in 0.900), but the decisions of the player will determine what UFOs will reach earth at what time.

independent alien races: what the player does with the vessels of one race doesn't affect the other races. Three races are already implemented and more in preparation - and there will be diplomacy (not yet implemented) allowing you to ask (or better purchase) the help of one race against the others.
