From the desk of Ilana Kamat New Meridian Scientist - Lead Research Developer My current analysis of the situation is - it could be worse. Sure, it could also be a hell of a lot better, but it definitely could be worse. They call space the final frontier, but I personally think that it’s only the beginning, a stepping stone to greater things and larger horizons. There are plenty of people who think that this is as far as we’ll ever go, and that’s fine by...
They underestimated me. They always underestimate me. I didn’t have one of the most successful real estate businesses in the state of California for nothing, you know. Coming to Mars was an easy choice - the colonies here would absolutely need someone with an eye for development, an eye for the long term goal - and that’s me . I had offers from all over, of course, but the Russians always provided the best benefits. They had me settle on Thaumasia Planum, which ce...
From the desk of Frank Dawson Foreman - Reclamation, INC. Sometimes, I wonder why I ever came to this bleedin’ rock. Then I remember I didn’t really have a choice. I made the most of it, though, and it beats rotting away in that prison. Come to Mars and make a new life for yourself is what all the slogans said. I didn’t really believe any of ‘em, but I guess I have to admit I was wrong. It’s hard watching the money roll in knowin’ ...
From the desk of Maisie Song Seneca Development Mars is beautiful. When I say beautiful, I don’t mean the landscape -- although there is kind of an eerie serenity to it. No, what I really mean are the opportunities. My family wasn’t thrilled when I decided to take the job off world, but I wasn’t about to let the chance to become more than just an intern pass me by. What I really wasn’t prepa...
Memo from the desk of Philippa Ndiaye CEO of the Diadem Trust The future lies in the hands of people like us. We must rise above these failings and lead humanity to greater prosperity. My father is a wise man, and I have never forgotten those words. When he sought retirement and left his company to me, I followed his procedures to the letter - because they worked. Whispers of nepotism an an effortless inheritance based on anything but merit reached my ears, b...

The thing I've been enjoying the most about Escalation is the ability to arrange a custom game to cater to what I'd like to do at that particular moment. Some people (and believe me when I say I am not one of them) are so good at the game that they want the opportunity to practice specific skills or challenge themselves in more unconventional ways. In Escalation, we've focused on two really important core features: AI and Map Options. If you'd like to know more about the ...

Season 2 of Ashes of the Singularity ranked multiplayer has come to an end! Since the game's release, we here at Stardock have enjoyed interacting with a very robust and enthusiastic community of players. Some of our top-ranked Season 2 players have held in their top 10 spots from Season 1, but a few have been knocked out of the rankings and replaced by some newcomers. Let's take a look at the results: TOP 10 PLAYERS FROM SEASON 2: 1. DanailLazov 2....
If you're like me, you're not a guru at real time strategy games. If you're not like me, then I'm jealous. I am the kind of person who needs a lot of practice in order to even resemble some level of competency in a game as massive as Ashes. With so much going on at once, it can be hard to understand where my weaknesses are - as well as my strengths - and what I can do to compensate for or take advantage of them. Fortunately for me (and for anyone else new t...
