An older game that was an attempt of something of an Orcs Must Die or other tower defense game that also allowed you to take the field. Granted given the age this is a little rough but with friends this certainly is still quite a fun time. As of right now there is a fan discord running weekly games, and even pumping out some mods for this title but official support to handle lingering issues with the game due to it's age would be ideal. The world was also fairly interesting even if much of the story needed further fleshing out when it came to the first game. Hard to track down who even owns the game anymore but I'd very much like to see a revival if not the series being picked up again wholesale given the themes, and the darker themes in this tower defense. Not often you get to be morally grey, or leaning more towards the black depending on just how desperate you get in game.
This game was so much fun! I remember playing the demo version on a (if I recall) Game Informer Pro Demo Disk that they would send out. I loved the art style, the lore, and the gameplay. At the time, my buddy and I would take turns playing Spiral, the demo level, on his computer. We tried to keep upping the difficulty and see how hard we could make it (we failed miserably on Brute LOL). Years later, I remembered the game and saw it got a Steam release so I picked it up and remember playing some matches online. but then died before I could really enjoy the game online. Every weekend, me and the guys that still play on Steam get together and play! Feel free to check the Steam guides to find our IG Warlord Discord server!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
