Summary


Time of Defiance (ToD) is a Massively MultiPlayer (MMP) real-time strategy game presented in a full 3D environment. It has been designed so that ALL players within the game are real. Games can run anywhere from a week to four weeks with each game supporting many hundreds of players. The idea of the game is simply to expand your empire by battling or trading with other players and to hold the largest, most powerful empire when the game ends.
 
 

 

Game Info


"Your remote outposts in the north have detected enemy troop movement, but your closest fleet is over a day's travel away. The enemy fleet is within striking range of a valuable resource mine that is key to your economic wealth, and you don't have the forces to defend it. Your northern neighbour is friendly but wont help out against this enemy, and the problems you are having with your neighbour in the south are tying up a lot of your ships.

You need to mobilise fast and in strength. Maybe you can turn others against this enemy with propaganda, maybe you can reason with him. Maybe you'll just have to trade with the Eighth House and pay to send your fleet of motherships a couple of hundred kilometers beyond the threat and hit him where it hurts ..."


Time of Defiance is an online massively multiplayer strategy game in real-time set across the huge landscape of the shattered world of Nespanona. Fight for conquest of the islands and mine their mineral wealth to expand your empire. Every other empire you encounter is another human and will remember the deals you didn't deliver on and the promises you broke. Treachery, propaganda and trade are just as important as your fighting strategy. Have you got what it takes to unite the Cog tribes under one ruler?

Time of Defiance (ToD) is an online real time strategy game. This means that the game is played over the internet and runs all the time, whether you are logged on or not. It is a game of varying complexity and depth and you will get the hang of what to do in the first few minutes, but you will find out new things all the time, even after playing for some months! The object of ToD is to take over and hold as much of the northern continent of Nespanona as possible during the game time (depending on the type of game you are playing). You will find that the other players seem to think that this is their aim as well so might not take too kindly to your expansion!

ToD is set on the northern continent of Nespanona - a planet that has had its core collapsed to a very dense ball. The crust has been broken in to thousands of pieces of varying sizes and held up by gravity generators. You are one of the many COG tribes that have travelled to the northern continent and you have discovered that most of the islands are uninhabited. As the leader of your tribe you must build an empire to occupy these islands before any of the other tribes. You do this by building fleets of mining vehicles, warships etc. and mining the resources found on these islands to build more warships to occupy more islands and so on… There are a variety of ships and buildings for you to build each having its own unique capabilities. Now is the Time of Defiance!

If you do get wiped out of the game, you are able to restart your empire in another area of the map. We’ve had a player in our preview group go on to finish in 5th place after restarting three weeks into the game. It’s not quite a complete restart however – all your centrally banked resources are kept in the 8th House, allowing you to cash in your banked resources for more advanced vehicles and intelligence information.
