  • New Fading Suns Computer Game Prepares to Launch
    New Fading Suns Computer Game Prepares to Launch Follow up to the classic Emperor of the Fading Suns, Noble Armada: Lost Worlds is a real-time strategy PC title based on HDI's Noble Armada miniatures game. Press Pack at: http://www.holistic-design.com/noble-armada/ Steam Store: https://store.steampowered.com/app/886230/Noble_Armada_Lost_Worlds/ ATLANTA – Sept. 12, 2018 – Set in the Fading Suns Universe, where the suns themselves are dying, humanity battles to revive its lost greatness - or just take what is left. The five great Royal Houses dominate human space as they battle each other for control of the greatest resource - humanity itself. In Noble Armada: Lost Worlds, players take on the role of a noble in one of the five Royal houses or the Urth Orthodox Church, vying against rival fleets and houses for control of human space. They battle pirates, barbarians, heretics and others in their quest for supremacy. Noble Armada is a game of broadsides and boarding actions, as players maneuver their ships to line up their best shots, unleash broadsides of fiery energy and then board their enemies to end the battle with desperate boarding actions. As they travel from planet to planet, making allies and building up their fleets, they also gain the experience they need to make their crews and marines truly formidable. “We’ve had a great time tweaking the established RTS conventions. Movement is not just point and click, as players have to take into account the unique physics of space” said lead game designer Andrew Greenberg. “In addition, we’ve gone for a pauseable real- time format that allows players to take time strategizing before unleashing a hail of blaster fire.” Players have the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of missions involving five different houses.
