10 hover tanks can do a fair bit of damage. If you don't mind losing a couple, ignore the militia and take out the missiles.

The latest version has tweaked the AI defense building a bit, so they don't just build defenses and ignore their infrastructure.

How many space marines AND assault ships would that be? And that's if there's no defending ground troops. Add to that a bunch of Militia and even ground attack defending ships.
I'm playing this game where the XSpec were very lucky with their starting conditions. 5 or 6 Ideal systems in their close vicinity, their pop just exploded. They spread their pop, but their systems are close to empty. 40~50 pop, 10~15 Militia, almost no structures. I'm taking them out, BUT, their Militia keep me from conquering their systems. I managed to conquer those with a couple of Militia, but the rest are not possible at this point (turn 70ish). A bit my fault too, I went more for air supremacy, with Destroyers, Corvettes, Merlins and Falcons. The Battlecruisers are coming, but so are their ground missiles.


The Order aren't supposed to be very diplomatic; and if it tanks your economy...

Hopefully the first release candidate will be posted today, and then it'll be official next week sometime

This situation occurs because some of the companies that sell the product like to produce their own installers. Obviously you're using a patch that you got from Matrix Games which wouldn't work with the Impulse version of the game anyway.

I've made a patch available that'll upgrade previous versions to 1.024 here http://ntronium.com/simplemachinesforum/index.php?topic=676.0

Provided for those who want v1.024 in order to run mods

Get the version for Impulse here https://rcpt.yousendit.com/942230881/7806e365c59c8f6a9eaa0e44087937a0

Unpack the rar files with into the folder where the game is installed. Since doing this will mess up uninstallers and updaters, you might want to make a copy of the game folder and patch that. You can then uninstall by just deleting it.

If you make a copy and aren't using the Impulse version, you'll need to make a shortcut pointing to the armada2526.exe file in the bin folder, with the execution folder set to the folder that contains the bin folder, and the rest of the game data.

These links will only last for a few days. If they've expired, and you need a copy, email me.

Just wondering  if anyone have a clue when the next patch is coming?

I`ve read that the next one is possible the last one but I cant find any information on progress
on the patch.

Hey I bought my game "Armada 2526" through Impulse and it will only install the latest version 3.
I wanted to play the "MOO mod" but I need Version 1024 patch requirement.  

I reinstalled the game with out updating through Impulse.
I found the version of the V1024 patch and installed it.
Right before the install it asked me for a Serial No.

I put the Serial No# that "Star dock/Impulse" gave to me and it says invalid SN#  
Why do I need a serial number to update a patch anyway?
FU&%@n* retarded!  

When will you be updated to the latest version? or will you?  

Ive been wanting to play this all weekend.

Thanks,

DPC

Thank you for your review, though I not think you really did the game justice. I've left some comments on your site.

Can you tell me what your technical problem is. There are various problems that prevent the game from running, and most of them have simple solutions.

After several thousand sales, there have only been a handful of cases where the game refuses to run, that I have been unable to resolve.
