PC Games: ECONOMY | Axis and Allies RTS

Economy: One of the most important aspects of Axis and Allies RTS. Many times in-game situations will largely control how you develop your Economy... If you are planning an early game infantry push, or your base is located in the front, you might spend more on regiments and less on the HQ's (which bolster your economy). If you have plans on really getting your economy going, or your base is located in the back, you might spend more on HQ's and less on your armed forces. However, as always, make sure to grab nearby or crucial cities, and don't leave your teamates hanging if they need your support on the front lines.

Victory will go to those whom best understand and utilize terrain to their advantage, for example, by occupying beneficial terrain, or forcing the enemy to fight from poor terrain. When exploited properly, terrain also can be used to help corner, outflank, or surround your enemies.

PC Games: RUSE - The Art of Deception

 art of deception pc game real time strategy rts RUSE

Overview

Developed by Eugen Systems, R.U.S.E is set to refresh the strategy genre, introducing deception techniques that will let you bluff your enemy in order to lead your nation's army to victory. Camouflage your troops, lure your opponent with decoy units, sabotage his logistics: strategy is intuitive and carefully thought out at the same time.

R.U.S.E. features cutting edge graphics and effects, the outstanding IRISZOOM™ Engine, immersive combat and a simplified interface that allows you to determine your nation’s strategy to defeat your enemies.

R.U.S.E. is scheduled for release during Q1 2010 on Windows-based PC, Xbox 360® system and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

The announcement trailer is worth a thousand words, and will give you a feeling of the spirit of R.U.S.E.’s game mechanics.

Dimension is one of the fundamental aspects of R.U.S.E. The IRISZOOM Engine displays maps a hundred times larger than in traditional RTS games, which makes raises strategy to an unprecedented scale and gives deception a lot more depth. With the zoom, you are able to both command your units as a chief-in-command and manage your troops at a tactical level as a ground officer, for example by deploying a fake offensive on your opponent’s HQ while carefully hiding your infantry in villages to ambush the surrounding tanks.

Deception is the essence of R.U.S.E.’s gameplay, just as it is the core of warfare: deception techniques such as espionage, decoys and radio silence played an essential role during World War II and continue to figure in modern conflicts. R.U.S.E. features deception cards – also known as ruses – that let you apply a deception technique to a specific sector in the map. The ruses are split into three categories :
- Reveal: these ruses such as the Spy Plan or Decryption are useful in order to understand or uncover your enemy’s actions.
- Hide: the Radio Silence or Camouflage Net will let you hide your troops or buildings from your opponent’s radar.
- Fake: the last category of ruses is used to trick your enemy, to make him believe what you want him to believe. The Decoy Offensive simulates an attack to confuse your adversary.

PC Games: Machinima: Moudon Trailer

 company of heroes rts coh film

"Some of you may remember an earlier trailer that was released by a group of COH fans who are working on a movie using Company of Heroes. It's called Moudon - The Fog of War, and the full movie is going to be something over 40 minutes in length. It's a very ambitious undertaking, but the results really speak for themselves. The second trailer that has been recently released shows some really cool footage from the movie and is well worth checking out.

We're very interested in seeing the final product and wish domidragon and his team continued success!"
