Great Multiverse: Civilizations at War

Sign in to edit

Great Multiverse: Civilizations at War, (sometimes abbreviated to simply CaW), is a real-time strategy (RTS) game that takes place in the Great Multiverse.

The game was developed by Petroglyph, comprising many former members of Westwood Studios (known for the Command & Conquer series) and the makers of Star Wars Empire at War RTS game. This company has developed a completely new engine specifically for CaW known as Alamo. It uses several higher-end shader effects such as soft shadows, specular lighting, and particle effects for dust clouds and explosions. their was an even more successful expansion pack that came out for CaW which became it's own game, Great Multiverse: Civilizations at War, Himmler's Revenge.

Gameplay[]

The game features a brand new style of play to make things a bit more realistic. Instead of building workers, gathering resources, and recruiting individual units, players are granted resources based on how many planets the player controls. Controlling worlds increases a player's cash flow and provide unique bonuses depending on the planet and universe (ex. Armor increases, discounted prices, special unit production.)

Battles are carried out both on a planet's surface and in orbit. Whoever controls the planet's surface, controls the planet itself. There are different factors to keep in mind depending on your status as an attacker or defender. Attackers must secure Landing Points to increase the number of units they deploy, while Defenders may deploy up to 540 "units" on a planet immediately. Attackers have their advantages, though. They may call in bombing runs if they have Bombers in orbit and the sky. Likewise, ground-based installations (like the Ion cannon and Hypervelocity gun) can fire upon units in orbit during space tactical battles. Unlike in other GMV RTS games, shields will form an actual physical barrier that must be penetrated and protect bases from artillery and bombing runs. Assorted building pads litter the playing field in both space and land battles. These pads allow the player to build useful structures (e.g., turrets which can easily destroy enemy units.)

CaW takes place during the First War. Civilizations at War features three factions. These factions are the Alliance of Nations, Axis of Empires and the Coalition of Independent States. Units in this game are a mix of other units that been seen in other universes. Like many RTS games, Civilizations at War features a "Rock-Paper-Scissors" unit usage style—for every unit there is a counter-unit. Brett Tosti has stated that this encourages players to create diverse armies and fleets with units that counter other units, as opposed to building a bunch of "super units". Players are also able to call on reinforcements during battle, including heroes like BJ Blazkowicz and Helga Frauscharf. Players can also construct planet-borne superweapons, factories, and space stations. Over thirty five universes are featured including Golmar, Filo, Viau, Gil, Vop'lla, Pol, Bab'lonin and others and within each universes their are up to fifteen to eighty five planets that's found.
