Description and Comments
Shattered Galaxy
is one of the oldest and most popular MMORTS
(massively multiplayer online real-time strategy)
games in the industry. Due to the game's MMO
nature, players can only have a small fraction of
the units that retail RTS games like the Command
& Conquer and Warcraft games have at their
disposal. This allows players to form regiments in
order to play together like MMORPGs. If each
player had a screen of full of units, the game
would be to tough to play in groups. Grouping and
teamwork is essential in this game because solo
players will be overwhelmed.
Key Features
- Small number
of units to command.
- RPG elements
involving levels and stats.
- Battles are
won by holding various vital areas on maps.
- Every single
unit gains experience.
- Groups are
known as regiments.
- Victory rules
vary between different maps.

Comment: I like this too, but I think what
phantasma said may be a bit outdated. Wulu is
gone. I haven't seen it once and I have been playing
for months. In addition, the nice community that
he or she was a part of is gone too. No more call outs for
mistakes, but no more people helping you much
either. People never really work together in the game
now. For example, people will nuke their own teammates just for
fun.
If you are new do
not ever join the faction
Troy. The people there are rude and obnoxious and
wont even answer the most basic questions. Helike
is better at that, but Pompeii is the best with the most
teamwork and the most wins. I've done every
faction now and Pompeii easily owns them
all!
Let me explain
the unit types further: There are 4 types
of units:
Infantry-Ground well, uh...infantry
Mobile- all mobile units: tanks, AA launchers,
bunkers, repair triages....
Aviation-Any non-organic thing that flies.
Everything from bombers to things that use fire.
Organic-Anything that lives (basically the Aliens).
Most can evolve and get stronger, but it is also
linked to your mech ap (mechanical aptitude) and
your education.
No unit type is better than another. They all just
differ on our style of play. Units within the same
type, however, can be much better choices than
others. For example, Hawks (fast moving Aviation
ships) would be much more preferable to fight Owls
(like hawks, but slower and stronger) than Phoenixes
(unbelievably slow, very short range for
flame attack).

Comment: Shattered Galaxy 2006 is very different.
For example, the name "wulu" is now a
widespread word used in place of calling someone a
newb. Wulu is a character so moronic that his
name is now shunned. Anyways, the new world of SG is
all tactical and nobody ever just sees it as a game
since they are always screaming at each other and calling
each other wulus for there mistakes.
Anyways, the
game play is very addictive and I can't stop playing,
but I wish pelicans still had lasers. They made a
pretty good decision on the music because it is
something you can listen to for hours on end and
not get annoyed with it. I
also really enjoy using the "arbs"
"ballista's" and the "trebs" and
the "vultures" acting like a mortar. The
arbs launch rounds of explosives into the enemy
from afar and the one downside is their speed. All
the ballistic things are slow. Anyways, they
are the only ballistic thing that can be
"phased" by the majority of people using
them because it is the only ballistic unit with
enough
room to equip phasic armor. The ballistas
shoot air with flak, the arbs shoot the ground with
bombardment, the vultures are basically flying arbs,
and the trebs are cloaking arbs/balistas but much
weaker.
I don't like
to point out the mistakes but it seems that
whenever you want your units to go to a specific
spot they end up spread out all over the place.
There are also plenty of bullet rounds, lasers,
carpetbombs, and nukes flying in every direction
and somehow the landscape remains untouched. I just wish they would change that because
it is weird seeing a nuclear explosion destroy all these units,
but the grass and trees somehow remain spotless. I
guess that is asking too much
because it is really a great game.
