Version

I of the Enemy: Ril'Cerat is a totally free, stand
alone, science fiction real-time starategy game, that
is the first chapter in the "I of the Enemy" saga. The
player is a Lokob (luh-kobe) officer who is in charge
of his race's contingent. Major Verkkal (voice talents
of Ian McNeice, famed for his role as Baron Harkonnen
in Dune) is his trusted friend and Field Commander.
Emphasis in this game has moved away from gathering,
mining and building, and instead concentrates on
interesting tactical problems.
Realistic facets of combat include reinforcements
arriving according to an Order-of-Battle (which may be
misleading due to poor intelligence), via a temporal
gate. Indirect fire weapons (artillery) targeted by
spotter units discourage fixed defenses. Each unit
visibly changes as it advances in experience,
toughness and morale rating, and can be carried
forward to the next exciting missions as a trusted
member of your team. "Advanced" units acquire heavier
weapons or equivalent combat advantages.
Success in battle is achieved through maneuver rather
than larger quantities of units. This makes it more
important for players to achieve favorable match-ups,
rather than just waiting for overwhelming numerical
superiority.
