Inflict total annihilation!

Once you've solved the mystery of the Omicron Initiative the combat keeps coming.  Machines at War 3 includes both online multiplayer and single player skirmishes.  In these matches almost every aspect is tweakable.  For example you can change not only the victory conditions but which units are available over the course of the match.  You can wage war against three of your friends to see who be the supreme commander or battle the game's AI.

With an unprecedented 130 types of units in your arsenal Machines at War 3 truly delivers.  To easily find each type they are split into engineering, buildings, and defense categories.  Units are further divided by tiers, meaning the longer a battle rages, the stronger your army grows; what starts off as basic infantry quickly escalates into huge mega units annihilating anything that dares step in their crosshairs.

Basic units make up the first tier, though they're still fully capable of attacking, defending and building.  As they start slaughtering foes the second tier unlocks with new upgrades to research.  Imagine having the power of knowing what units your opponent is building and giving you the chance to build powerful defenses for total annihilation.  Unlocking the third tier grants you all units in the real time strategy game, including ICBMs, satellite systems, and mega units.  But be on red alert, you'll need control of a special resource node to build those monstrous mega units.  If control is lost, production stops, adding yet another element of strategy to Machines at War 3.

An in-depth tutorial helps the total game remain accessible no matter your skill level as it walks new players through the basics in boot camp.  Once you've graduated you'll have no problem schooling some veterans on the battlefield.
