You spend most of your time micromanaging your colonies, making sure they are well-kept while making as much money as you can. The best way to describe Fragile Allegiance would be to call it a good mix between SimCity and Ascendancy. This is strictly a conquer the galaxy/micromanagement type of strategy game. Be aware that although the game flows in real time, it is not real time in the sense of Command and Conquer or Warcraft II. It also made things get really tense at times.
This added to the game by making you feel that you were controlling something dynamically growing and changing in real time. You can adjust the time between slow, medium, and fast. It added a touch of SimCity-style micromanagement to the maintenance of your colonies that is missing in other games of this type. One nice twist in Fragile Allegiance is its real-time gameplay. Eventually you will sign treaties, make allegiances, hire secret agents, and ultimately go to war. In time you will interact with other races that are out to do the same. Because an asteroid only has so much ore, you will soon send your own transporter out to colonize and mine other asteroids. There are some funny twists as far as what you can trade - organic corn on the cob, and pearls dissolved in brandy, for example. You then use the money to build more structures, build defenses, hire supervisors or agents, and barter with the black market traders. Every so often a Federal Transport comes by, giving you the opportunity to sell what you have extracted. Instead of planets, you colonize and mine asteroids rich with various types of ore. Instead of conquering planets for the sake of dominating the universe and finding new homes for your growing race, the main motivating factor in Fragile Allegiance is money. The object of the game, as in most games of this type - Master of Orion II, Ascendancy - is to conquer your sector of the galaxy. In Fragile Allegiance you play a new recruit to a mining corporation named Tetra Corp.
