Description
In a future where the Earth can no longer support its ever-increasing population, pioneers have established colonies on countless new worlds. The fortunate ones have prospered and thrived, mining the precious ores and minerals that they found there, and the unfortunate have succumbed to the ravages of deep space.
In the year 2496, you are appointed Colony Director for Tetracorp and it is your job to build a thriving colony while defending it from 6 alien species. Fragile Allegiance offers a fast-paced RTS where you can buy blueprints, hunt for asteroids to mine, or even build an Asteroid Engine and use it against an opponent who’s been a thorn in your side! If you favor a more underhanded approach to furthering your goals, you can deploy Spy Satellites and Sabotage Agents to thoroughly undermine your enemies. Once you expand beyond the scope of one colony, you can appoint Colony Managers to take care of the more minor details of running and maintaining your colony.
Remember, life is fragile; the future is in your hands!
Assemble your fleets, fill your silos with nuclear warheads, conduct research, gather resources, and wage war in a vast galaxy in this unique take on 4X Strategy.
Appoint Colony Supervisors to manage your colony and deploy Spy Satellites for the ultimate in skulduggery.
Negotiate and trade with 6 different alien cultures, each with their own unique personality.

I've spent more hours playing this title than any other game out there. I remember i traveled half the country for a boxed copy of this pearl back in the 1999. I am amazed that there is no remake of Fragile Allegiance.It would be a bestseller, best strategy game of the decade if done right ( just include everything from the original and make it more complex :D )
The only reason why I have to give this four stars is because of the only playable faction is Tetracorp. Other than that it's an extremely hard game that takes a very steep learning curve but yet is extremely satisfying once you get the hang of things
Like I said in the title this was my game growing up and I remember buying this game when it first came out. It's an excellent game nonetheless.
This is one of those classic games you won't be disappointed in purchasing. This game takes your time and patience. And it will give you a very good experience.
This game had a few huge issues which totally ruined it for me. The biggest of these is the very limited range of both ships and missiles. This requires one to be rather close to the targeted planet to have any real effect. Worse, it's not enough to have your ships close, you have to have a refueling station there to go farther (or your ships are lost). This means you must colonize everything close by, and wait for the structures to be built. Or, if there's too large of a gap between asteroids, you can't effectively reach across at all. The game allows you to buy tech advances, why not extended range fuel cells? This would have been a huge plus.
Worse, the game is completely unbalanced. Case in point - agents are far too powerful. One agent can take out an entire heavily developed planet with relative ease. What that means is this - you can spend much time and money, develop missiles and ships to conquer, only to have mixed results, or you can hire one agent and have it done quickly. Further, the aliens have pretty much no constraints on their mineral use or money expenditures. I fought one race with all of 4 planets - these would have provided very limited minerals and revenue - but they were able to produce almost unlimited shipsmissiles, as well as hire numerous agents to kill my planets.
As a result, I found this game to be far less about development and combat and far more about hiring agents and rolling the dice. For me, that meant one huge disappointment.
For years I've been trying to remember the name of this amazing game. And here it is. The moment I saw the title I knew I must have this once again. Thanks GOG!
