Seeking synergies is important. And in the particular case of Matrix Games and Fury Software the realization that in unity would indeed reside greater strength has already yielded results, with the announcement of grand strategy game Strategic Command 3.
Here's word from Managing Director of Fury Software, Mr. Hubert Cater:
The Strategic Command brand is as healthy as it could possibly be. When we started it 15 years ago, we had hopes to create something that would stand test of time. After so many years we are glad we can bring the franchise to the next level, with this exciting new partnership.
The main features disclosed:
– Dynamic movement and combined attacks
– Oil and manpower
– Improved naval system and supply rules
– more fog of war
– Expanded unit types, terrain and resources
– New look and feel including over 300 new 3d unit models
– Use of the Slitherine PBEM++ server for asynchronous multiplayer
