Our new real-time strategy game, Ashes of the Singularity is out. Stardock hasn’t released an RTS since 2008 Sins of a Solar Empire. Like Sins, Ashes is a massive scale RTS. It’s not about actions per minute, it’s about your global strategy as you battle for a planet (heh, except on the tiny maps of course).
