Like other real-time strategy war games, A.R.S.E.N.A.L. Extended Power requires you to research technology, amass resources, build fighting units, and attack opponents while defending your home turf. But A.R.S.E.N.A.L.'s intelligent scoring system, multiplayer team play, and variable character personalities create an entertaining and replayable experience.Players begin by selecting their character's name, face, flag, and nationality. Different flags provide access to different special units, including an atomic bomber. By commercial standards, the graphics are only serviceable, though a new Deep View, near-3D mode in the latest version improves them. The essentials are there, with large maps and clearly distinguishable units and buildings. The game features some witty audio effects, and the computer makes a tough opponent.
However, A.R.S.E.N.A.L.'s interface for selecting units can be confusing, and the lack of instructions makes learning the hot keys difficult. We encountered graphical glitches. And the demo's 20-minute-per-level time limit isn't enough to finish even the shortest battles. Nevertheless, the wicked AI and humorous touches make this an enjoyable download for players willing to stick it out.

"Wonderful game - you should try it"
Version: A.R.S.E.N.A.L Extended Power 2.F1
Pros
ARSENAL Extended Power is an unique strategy game in real time.You have diplomacy for making alliance with AI and other users. It is available an online game server,a game editor,a map generator and an ingame MP3 player.if you buy it you won't repent
Cons
However the online game community has only 5 players in total-It is by you make it increase...There is no game manual nor any game reference.The game,really unfortunately,it is updated only once a year.Also you can make only 1map/week with the editor
Summary
I reccomend you to first download and try A.R.S.E.N.A.L. Extended Power judging it. If you start playing, you will not stop... In this game you can find lots of features other games haven't.
There is a new price offer, you can buy it for only $ 9,90...
The interface is really easy to use, but there is no support nor manual, learning it could be difficult. If you need help you could ask on the forum:
http://arsenalextendedpower.2ksite.com
The AIs are really clever, it isn't easy to beat them, you won't get bored playing thousand and thousand of hours. But the best side of the game is the Online one: you can challange people trough the world, and play a game up to 32 players
Each year there is an online tournament where the winners gain free licenses.
For any question, i repeat, ask on the forum
http://arsenalextendedpower.2ksite.com
or email me ( brown.john665@gmail.com )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So: the file size is very low (only 55mb)
the price is very low (only $ 9,90)
Just try it. Maybe buy it... ( you buy it online with a credit card) -
"Great game, needs more player support, try it & buy it."
Version: A.R.S.E.N.A.L Extended Power 2.F1
Pros
This game has alot of really great features, like the diplomacy and negotiations that occur between players...
Online play is a really cool feature as well, letting players coordinate attacks and plan strategies in a coherent and intuitive way.Cons
it needs more players. there is a community of hardcore arsenal players, but that community would do much better with even more people...
Summary
All in all, if your going to give this game a try, you will probably have fun with the demo for a while, but if you want the REAL fun of the game, you should check out the online play...
