you investigate a secluded military lab and find something horribly wrong! all of the scientists are missing and the facility is ransacked. years of research and top secret classified experiments are no where to be found .
the missing scientists, known as the omicron initiative, are responsible for developing new technologies. the only clue to their disappearance is a mysterious text message reading
we were forced to do it
. the team' s disappearance threatens the secrecy of it' s research, which could potentially put your country into a chaotic panic. now there' s only one person who can rescue the omicron initiative and protect its secret technology from falling into the wrong hands .
in 21 missions you' ll race across the world to find out who, or what, is responsible for the team' s disappearance. you' ll command and conquer over 130 different types of units ranging from infantry and ships to giant mega units .
after honing your skills in the campaign, fire up a random map and experience insane 5, 000 unit battles! test your mettle in online multiplayer or annihilate some ai opponents offline. many adjustable options ensure every game is unique. want to play with only ground units? make the victory condition the death of a specific unit? the options are limitless !
fully translated to german, chinese, japanese, french, korean, spanish, portuguese, russian, italian, and english .
machines at war 3 has a variety unmatched by other rts titles .
an ultra - solid strategy game full of interesting features, large maps, and a wide array of gameplay situations .
the randomly generated maps mean that the experience is new each and every time .
it' s incredibly easy to get into, thanks to easy to set up games and straightforward gameplay .
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 .

land air sea warfare is available for mac, iphone, windows, windows mobile .
command a force of thousands of units into strategic warfare in this real time strategy game. you are challenged to construct an epic war machine and use it to become a dominating world power .
land air sea warfare features a random map system so every game you play is unique and poses new challenges. transport units into the fight, mow down forests to clear a path to the enemy, build walls to defend your position, track tread marks left by enemy tanks to their base, hide under trees for an ambush attack, these are just some of the unique game play elements available .
expand your city with over 100 structures and units to choose from. as your empire grows you can research technologies to guide the focus of your strategy. dominate on all types of terrain, send aircraft to bombard the enemy to weaken its infrastructure, control the shores with a naval fleet of ships and subs, and transport in lands units such as tanks and humvees to clean up and finish the job !
engage - cancel move orders and attack any new target encountered while en route to a new target .
patrol - continuously move between the current location and the next location given, attack any new target in range .
to transport units with the crane helicopter, select all the units you want to transport, and at least 1 crane, then click where you want them to transport to. the crane will then automatically transport all units to that location one at a time (you can have more than 1 crane selected) .
you can set a factory to infinitely build units by pressing the' x' key. the factory will continually build the units currently queued when infinite build is enabled. you can select as many of each unit as you want, and the game will build them in the quantity and order you queue them in. for example if you want 2 tanks and 1 hovercraft continually made, queue 2 tanks, and 1 hovercraft, then press the' x' key. when infinite build is enabled the build progress bar on the factory and the outline around the icon in the build menu will both flash white. to disable infinite build simply press the' x' key again while the factory is selected. units are only queued as you can afford them and will continue to be queued until you disable infinite build .
most of the controls in the game can be issued via hardware buttons or keyboards. these are customizable in the games settings .
the lower left pane displays your current group info. you can select any of your groups by clicking in the group info pane. it shows what types of units are in each group, their average health, and attack or movement status .
the lower right pane displays your overall force information when you have no unit selected. you can also select units from this pane .
as units gain kills they advance in experience levels, you can see a units current level in the unit info pane. units increase in stats as they level, see the help file for more info .
you should upgrade your headquarters to tech level 2 as soon as possible to gain the ability to build more advanced units and buildings. once tech 2 research is complete you can build new types of units at all of your factories. you can also create new buildings and labs to research more technologies .
as your headquarters mines ore it is stockpiled in storage tanks. to increase your ore capacity build storage units (under the engr tab). if the enemy destroys a storage tank any ore in it is lost .
scattered around the map are unique resources. after researching tech 2 you can build a specialized mine to gather the resource which allows you to build special powerful mega units. the types of unique resources on each map are random and are based on the landscape setting, see the landscape types section below for more details .
after you find a unique resource and build a specialized mine on it you are now able to build a special mega unit if you have enough ore and power. if your spec mine is destroyed construction of the mega unit will pause until the spec mine is rebuilt. specialized mines also gather a small amount of normal ore .
align players (teams, 2 vs. 2, 1 vs. 2, 2 vs. 1 )
in the game settings menu there is a setting called align players, which can be set to none, you + ai vs. ai, or you vs. ai + ai. the default value of none means that no teams are aligned and the ai will attack you or other computer ai players. you + ai vs. ai means that in a 3 player game, it will be you and the computer vs. the other computer. you vs. ai + ai means in a 3 player game it will be you vs. both computers and they won' t attack each other, they will all be against you. when you have an ally you will be able to see what they see and build in their area, you will also be able to see what technologies they are researching. you can also see how many credits and population they have by clicking on the lab. you will be able to attack an ally, but they will not retaliate .
you + ai vs. ai - 3 players = you + computer vs. computer
you + ai vs. ai - 4 players = you + computer vs. computer + computer
you vs. ai + ai - 3 players = you vs. computer + computer
you vs. ai + ai - 4 players = you + computer vs. computer + computer

to research technologies you must build a research lab. there are three labs and they are named the looking glass, orchid, and tempest. each lab allows researching technologies for the three main classes of units: land, sea, and air. researching technologies allows you to greatly increase your units firepower, armor, and speed. you are given 7 points to spend on technologies and can earn more. you can see how many points you have by viewing the info pane when selecting a lab. you will only be able to research a fraction of the available technologies, so choose them wisely. this makes the game more interesting as you will fight opponents with different bonuses and strategies than yourself .
note: gaining additional research points only happens the first time you do one of the things above .
( added v1. 1) as units get kills they gain levels and increase their stats. after a unit has reached level 5 it is considered elite and glows gold. you will also hear a level up sound play and see a text notification when the unit reaches a new level 5 or higher. the maximum level for a unit is 10. stats are increased based on the unit type. units display medals which represent their tech level and kill level in the info pane and next to their armor bar when they are selected and at least level 5. tech 1 units have bronze badges, tech 2 silver, and tech 3 gold. although mega units do not level they do display the highest ranking medals with a star and six bars .
static units are non - mobile units such as turrets, torpedo launchers, and missile launchers .
although maximum armor is increased, current armor health is not, so the unit will need to be repaired for full armor .
for example an air unit with 70 kills (level 10) would get an armor bonus of 150% and attack bonus of 50% .
most landscapes can have any type of the six resources (xephal, crom, isonium, betniah, rhoxia, nuba), but primarily ground based landscapes won' t have the unique resources that allow you to build naval mega units, and primarily water based landscapes won' t have the land related unique resources. to see which resources can build which type of mega unit see the units, buildings, & technologies section .
a large sea in the center of the map surrounded by land on all sides .
a few large landmasses with rivers between them, you may be in the sea or on land .
a medium sized island in the center with all of the resources on it .
if your leader (on a transport hovercraft) dies you lose. the transport hovercraft is a super armored and very fast .
when playing teams and after one team wins, team members must defeat each other .
building mega units requires a specialized mine to be built on a unique resource. you can see which resource each mega unit requires in the unit info pane .
if you are building a mega unit and the mine related to it is destroyed, production of the mega unit is halted until the mine is rebuilt .
