- Post a comment  Strategy Planet has posted up a new preview of Conquest: Frontier Wars, the upcoming space-based RTS game. Conquest: Frontier Wars (CFW) is an exciting new fleet based RTS game being developed by Fever Pitch Studios. Formally located at Digital
Anvil, CFW is being produced by Eric Peterson & Chris Roberts. Roberts made Wing Commander and Privateer, and Peterson was involved in Privateer & Starlancer and co-founded Digital Anvil with Roberts. As part of the buyout agreement for Digital Anvil with Microsoft, Roberts and Peterson are taking Conquest to a new, as of yet unannounced publisher. Conquest introduces many new innovations to the RTS genre, yet, maintains an ease of use and familiarity to anyone who has played RTS games. The many innovations are led by such ground breaking things as supply & supply lines, combat on up to 16 maps at one time, computer assisted AI called fleet admirals, and unique special weapons. CFW has an exciting single player campaign and skirmish mode and will also allow you to play with up to 8 people over IP or an Internet Multiplayer matching service. [more] |
