You will choose your side, build your bases, gather resources, attack enemy strongholds, and react as if your life depended on it because it does. Your weaponry is unlike any you have experienced before with hoards of futuristic fighter craft, thundering 50-gigawatt ion cannons, and the terrifying Devils Tongue flame-thrower. Your only ally is a constant barrage of satellite news reports from the front, but be warned: One ill-planned attack and you are a statistic. Something even amateur warmongers will appreciate.
