Fragile Allegiance

This is one of the best sim/strategy games ever made.. imagine its already almost 30 years old but still the AI/Engine works much more better than many new and modern games.

a old school game way ahead of its time there is a whole market where price changes over seasons for buying, selling, and trading. It may take a lil time knowing how to play and understand but once use to it it is very easy to play. I wish someone would mod and keep it old school just add a few more ores and air crafts etc. Overall great game!!!!!!!

Ein Klassiker aus meiner Jugend! Es gibt einfach kein Spiel, welches so lange mit so einem einfachen Gameplay den Spielspass aufrechterhält.

AI colony managers are pretty bad. Game is becomes impossible since it can't be paused and managed and there are just too many things to do - not fun things though - mostly tedious management of many many planets. Essentially the game loop is to colonize a planet, build a couple of buildings to manage population needs, and for mining (really boring, zero depth to this system), and somehow sell the mined resources. Once you're done with a planet the buildings just stay there and there's not much to do with the planet. So now to generate income you have to keep colonizing new planets, which means you have many planets to manage (i.e. build the same thing over and over again) and ship the mined resources back to some home planet for sale. The interfaces are 90's bad (i.e. zero QOL for things you do 90% of the time), which was reasonable 30 years ago, not recommended for today though. Obviously there are other tedious things to do (like simple random graph based trading of "unique resources") which you can't focus on due to every aspect of the game requiring micro management. As someone who didn't play this game in the 90s, I wouldn't recommend it to someone who doesn't have nostalgia for this particular game.

This is an old game but still a very good one. Still very much worth playing.

I loved this game when it came out but it does not run well on current windows systems and crashes, Check out Imperium Galactica II, Masters of Orion 3 and other related space games from the time. Endless Space is also pretty good

A very clever and unique RTS I recommend it
