We’ve enjoyed battling it out with our friends over at Ironclad Games, engaging in massive fleet battles during development. The new ways of interacting with each other and the neutral parties have created some incredible ‘I can’t BELIEVE that just happened!’ moments. Teaming up with Ironclad on this long-awaited sequel is yielding great results.
