It was a multiplayer only game in 2000 with space ships and one commander who played the RTS side of the game. It was a MOBA/DOTA in space with a commander.
- scrollaway 11y agoThat's subjective :) I much prefer Independence War 2. It's superior to the old Chris Roberts classics imho: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_War_2:_Edge_of_Chaos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_War_2:_Edge_of_Ch... * https://www.gog.com/game/independence_war_2 https://www.gog.com/game/independence_war_2 * http://store.steampowered.com/app/359630/ http://store.steampowered.com/app/359630/
- FranOntanaya 11y agoThere are still servers running for Allegiance (search freeallegiance) and some development, since MS open sourced it and allowed the community to maintain it, but you have to check on weekends to get a game going. It was a pretty good teamwork exercise, it actually required players to think tactically and stay coordinated to overpower the other team.
- baldfat 11y agoI am afraid of the learning curve and being married with kids I usually only play when I am not with any of them (AKA "Can't sleep" after wife goes to sleep) I love being with my family but playing > sleep is an easy decision.
- LyndsySimon 11y agoOh, wow - thank you! I had completely forgotten about Allegiance until it was mentioned here. I'll have to dig it up and play a few games :)
