What is Deadlock: Planetary Conquest?

"Son, be a colonist", is what Dad said to me
"It's a cushy life, and you'll get alien real esate for free"

As the game's light spirited song suggests, this is a game about settling a planet. Deadlock's title however is illustrative of the seven different races, all squabbling for it's control on the planet's surface, having had to cease blasting each other to bits in orbit in fear of accidentally taking out the planet as well.

The player chooses a race, each with their own perks, and begins building up their colony, utilising available resources, expanding into strategically useful locations and eventually attacking rivals with military units.

This is a superb strategy title thats worth playing.
