Empires of Steel Forming
Battlefront sends word that they are developing Empires of Steel, a turn-based strategy game set way back in the 20th century.
Planned for release early next year, the game has players command various ground, armored, naval and airforce units against up to 20 human or computer-controlled opponents. It uses a simultaneous turn-resolution system, having players form alliances, capture and trade resources, research new technologies and conquer opponents, among other things.
The game will feature multiplayer, including both voice and text-chat systems, matchmaking features, and a download system for mods, maps and custom units.
