Contents.Overview The game is set on a fictional colony - the so-called 'Dark Colony' - in the year 2137. Humans have discovered a 'remarkable energy source' by the name of Petra-7 on the red planet. Figuring they'd rather not choke on the atmosphere of Mars whilst mining Petra-7, the Humans begin the planet.

At the start of the game the project has produced jungles and deserts habitable by people. All seems to be going well, until the Taar show up. The Taar are aliens from a scattered and dying race looking for a new homeworld, and Mars seems to be good fit. Before they can move in though, they seek to get rid of the humans.The game consists of two campaigns where players can either play as the humans, commanding a colonization force from Pan Luma Industries (one of the Earth corporations along with Aerogen and Stratus who are in charge of the Mars project) whose goal is to defend against and defeat the alien threat, or as the Taar, where players have to defeat the human presence on Mars and claim it as their own.Balance Both the human and alien armies have almost absolutely mirrored units that differ mostly in appearance. The few differences between races are that the range of the heavy assault units is bigger by 1 for humans in exchange for speed, the range of alien sniper units is bigger by 1, and alien defense turrets have less range and less damage. However, there are two aspects to the gameplay that can sway the tide of battle: effective use of artifacts and day/night cycle.

Dark Colony is one of the first RTS to add day/night cycle as a tactical consideration, as the Taar see much better during night time and also deal a little more damage and Humans see much better during day time while dealing some more damage in daylight.

Expansion set of Dark Colony, not worth it

The Council Wars game is actually an expansion pack to the 1997 space real time strategy game Dark Colony, published in 1998. The game's plot is somewhat interesting - you are a human nation that has found plenty of available resource on Mars and started teraforming it into a habitable place to live. All was going fine and well until the Taar, a hostile invading alien army came to your new paradise and decided to take it for its own.The game is consisted of two large campaigns in which you can take side of either the aliens and destroy all of humanity, or the humans, trying to fend of the bad guys. This expansion pack of the game brings a few new things, like a cosmetic powerup for the game's graphics, a few new units and images, and new sounds. The gameplay is identical to the original game. The question remains - is the game worth getting? In my opinion - no, it is not. The changes are only minor and, unless you are a true hardcore fan of the game, you won't miss anything much by playing the original strategy game.
