Когда Земля находится на грани экосистемного коллапса, компания "DOLOS A.E.C." возглавляет усилия по поиску нового дома для человеческой расы. Волею случая или судьбы прототип космической станции Тиккун оказывается брошенным на волю космоса, это разрушающийся ковчег, на котором остатки человечества должны найти убежище - и вы, Администратор, стоите у его штурвала. IXION - это градостроительный симулятор, который требует от вас бдительности, постоянной оценки и переоценки, обучения и адаптации. Если вы и ваша команда хотите выжить, вы должны противостоять опасностям космоса, одновременно раскрывая его секреты и добывая его ресурсы. Опасность, однако, будет грозить как изнутри, так и извне: вам придется создавать, поддерживать и развивать инфраструктуру Тиккуна, одновременно управляя населением станции и решая, как лучше ответить на их просьбы, чтобы сохранить доверие к вам и миссии. Здесь нет простых решений; ваши действия будут иметь последствия - сейчас или в будущем. От того, как вы справитесь с этими последствиями, зависит выживание или вымирание. Люди, которыми нужно управлять, не состоят из дисциплинированного экипажа, не все бодрствовали с самого запуска, некоторые только что вышли из криокамеры… Поддерживайте доверие к корпорации, которая начала это предприятие, или потерпите неудачу и на борту возникнет мятеж. На станции можно разблокировать шесть секторов, каждый из которых способен вместить больше людей, создавать новые рабочие места, предоставлять возможности для наблюдения за экипажем с помощью службы прослушивания данных. Вы принесете надежду людям? Кто сказал, что вы единственные, кому удалось избежать фатальной судьбы Земли? Сразитесь с другими группами выживших, избегайте неудач и обломков других кораблей… В IXION игрок пройдет через захватывающие главы истории, которые содержат новые угрозы и возможности, и все это поможет достичь конечного пункта назначения, нового дома. DOLOS славятся своими инновационными технологиями, своими учеными, но сейчас Tiqqun отрезана от всего мира. Найдите, какие ресурсы вы можете использовать, исследуйте то, чего у вас нет. Найдите новые способы создать свое поселение, стройте такие новые здания, которые вам нужны. Модифицируйте станцию Tiqqun, совершенствуйте ее, продвигайтесь вперед в этой одиссее. Космос - опасное место. Пробоины в корпусе, перегрузка источников питания, возгорание электроприборов... Вы должны управлять этими рисками, справляться с чрезвычайными ситуациями, создавать технологии для резервного электропитания и принимать решения о выходе в открытый космос ... Существуют совершенно новые звездные карты, которые еще предстоит изучить. Отправляйте зонды, чтобы выявить то, что скрыто, создавайте добывающие и грузовые корабли, чтобы находить ресурсы и торговать, заказывайте научные экспедиции, чтобы раскрыть секреты и угрозы, которые вы обнаружите в космосе. Встречайте других выживших и используйте их в своей миссии, помните, что ваша цель - выжить.

The Byzantine Empire began the 11th century in a strong position - they had pushed their frontier eastwards against the fragmented Muslim emirates, and had completely destroyed the Bulgars in the Balkans. All that was to change in 1071, when they suffered a catastrophic defeat at the hands of the Seljuq Turks at the Battle of Manzikert. These nomadic conquerors had recently converted to Islam, and had swiftly established a Sultanate ruling from Afghanistan to Palestine. Following Manzikert they took nearly all of Anatolia from the Byzantines. As the Byzantine Emperor Alexios Komnenos struggled to stem the Seljuq advances, he appealed to the West for mercenaries. This request was seized upon by Pope Urban II, who possibly saw it as an opportunity to further his own aims. At the Council of Clermont in 1095 he called for a Crusade to save the eastern churches and recover the Holy Land from the Muslims. The timing was fortuitously right, as the mighty Seljuq Empire had begun to fragment, the Sultanate of Rûm in Anatolia (modern Asiatic Turkey) having seceded from the Great Seljuk Empire in 1077, and the local Syrian atabegs being in practice semi-independent and disunited. The First Crusade eventually captured Jerusalem in 1099, and established a number of Crusader states in Palestine and Syria. In doing so they created bitter resentment between Muslims, Western Christians and the Byzantines that would lead to two centuries of conflict. Several major Crusades were to follow the First, as the Crusader states fought for their existence against a succession of resurgent Islamic states: the Fatimids, Zangids, Ayyubids, and finally the Mamluks, who extinguished the last Crusader stronghold of Acre in 1291. Meanwhile, further East, a far greater threat to Islamic civilisation was emerging. The rapidly expanding Mongols had destroyed the Khwarazmian Shahdom by 1231, the Christian kingdom of Georgia fell in 1239, and the Seljuqs were defeated and forced into vassaldom in 1243. By 1258 the Assassins of Alamut, and the vestigial remains of the once great Abbasid Caliphate, had also been conquered. Only the Mamluks of Egypt were able to finally bring the Mongol advance to an end, with their victory at Ain Jalut in 1260. In the Balkans the Byzantine Empire remained strong until 1204, when Constantinople fell to the Fourth Crusade. Thereafter much of the old empire was taken over by the Western Crusaders and the Venetians, who had masterminded the whole sordid enterprise. The Byzantines held out in four fragments: the Empires of Trebizond and Nicaea, and the Despotates of Rhodes and Epirus. Eventually the Empire of Nicaea retook Constantinople in 1261, but the power of the Byzantines had been broken forever and they were now only a minor state. 20 more nations and factions covering South Eastern Europe and the Middle East from 1040 AD to 1270 AD. These include Arabs (Syria/Iraq), Armenians (Cilician), Bulgarians, Byzantines (Main Empire, also Nikaia, Epiros and Trebizond), Crusaders, Cypriots (Lusignan Kingdom), Dailami, Fatimid Egyptians, Georgians, Ghaznavids, Ghurids, Indians (Rajput, other Hindu, Muslim), Khwarazmians, Latin States in Greece, Mamluk Egyptians, Mongols (Ilkhanids), Pechenegs, Seljuq Turks, Serbians and Syrian States. Each of these has their own historically accurate banner. 35 more units (11 brand new, 24 new to Medieval), allowing the troops of all of the new factions to be accurately represented. 41 more army lists allowing historically realistic armies for each of the above factions and their allies at different dates during the period, and bringing the total number of Medieval army lists to 146.

Germany lies in ruins. Relentlessly assaulted on all sides and pounded mercilessly by Allied Strategic Bombing, the German Reich still refuses to admit defeat. Last ditch counteroffensives are put into action in a desperate attempt to turn the tide of the Second World War. Will these desperate gambles pay off, or will they continue to heap misery and death upon the German Wehrmacht? Panzer Corps 2’s Axis Operations at long last approaches the end of the Second World War in Europe... one way or another!The War ConcludesIn the Historical Campaign of 1945 East, you will experience the final months of the Second World War from a perspective so rarely covered in other games of the genre as you prepare your Wehrmacht forces for their final, desperate offensives. To properly tell this story, the historical campaign focuses extensively on not just the final battles on the Eastern Front, but also the surrounding context. What did last ditch attacks such as Operation Bodenplatte or Spring Awakening really accomplish, but also at what terrible costs did they come with? As you fight to the bitter end, learn the real fates of both true Historical German figures and also uncover the fates of the Axis Operation’s unique cast of characters. In doing so, find out for yourself some of the truths of why so many rank and file Wehrmacht soldiers continued the fighting well past any hope of achieving victory in the Second World War.The War ContinuesBut once again, the latest Panzer Corps 2 Axis Operations content pack contains yet another campaign!

Total victory seems further than ever, as Allied resolve is merely shaken and apparently nowhere near broken. And now another major offensive is prepared in the East, but to what ultimate end? Can it actually bring total victory, or will it just continue to bleed all nations involved?
