- Character voices sound identical to real ones; 
- The game was developed upon the order of the High Council of the Intelligent Civilizations of the Galaxy;
- There should have been one more feature here, but it failed censorship, so we replaced it with an advert: “Galactic energy drink “Improviser” with a rocket fuel extract will reduce fatigue and shorten your life by a couple of years. “Improviser” – for a vibrant and fast life!”

A pleasant bonus:
Offline games are not so common today, but we have wiped the hell out of our server and now you can play wherever you want as long as your battery is charged.
So what did we get?
A strategy that does not need Internet!
You can battle on board a plane, a ship or even a submarine - offline!
Ad-free games are also rare to come across nowadays, so what do you think we did?
That is right; we decided not to insert ads. There is absolutely no advertising at all, except for the Improviser, which we created ourselves. 
The game can also be found on Armor Games website.

And that is it.
We love strategies, we did our best to create the game, and it turned out quite decent.
