The Act of War series is a Real-Time Strategy franchise developed by Eugen Studios (now better known for the Wargame series) and published by Atari, which is based on the works of Dale Brown and features modern warfare along with some 20 Minutes into the Future sci-fi technology, excellent 3D graphics, pre-rendered Cut Scene videos and its own music. The game was originally released as Act of War: Direct Action and has an Expansion Pack named Act of War: High Treason. There's also a Spin-Off Tower Defense game called Act of War: Urban Defense.There are three factions in the game, United States Army, Task Force Talon and the Consortium.The story centers around the efforts of Task Force Talon, an elite US counter-terrorism force led by Major Jason Richter, to fight back the actions of the Consortium, an extremely powerful international organization conspiring to manipulate the economic order of the world for their own gain. Task Force Talon must counter their operations across the world, including in America itself.Another highlight of the game is the realism of the combat mechanics. Units have a limited range of sight, which can be further restricted by terrain and structures, and can be critically injured from taking too much damage, utterly disabling them. A unique feature is the Prisoner of War system, where critically injured enemy troops or non-combat personnel from destroyed vehicles and buildings can be captured and sent to specialized buildings where they produce additional income. Capturing enemy wounded and medivacing/healing your own is an important aspect of gameplay.Weapons of mass destruction and air raids are available, the latter working with air control towers instead of the usual airfields. High Treason introduces the option to call for mercenaries, powerful specialist units which can fight for you in exchange for periodical payments. It also adds naval combat and amphibious operations.As you may imagine there are many tropes applied to this game, so it's ordered in 5 folders, one for the game itself, three for the factions and one for the Mercenaries.A Spiritual Successor, Act of Aggression, has been announced.Examples: | |

Title Drop: In Direct Action, there are two: Task Force Talon is stated to be a "Direct Action" team, and during the invasion of San Francisco, Jefferson says that this isn't just a terrorist attack, but an "Act of War". In High Treason, it's stated a couple of times that Task Force Talon is wanted for "High Treason". | |

Missing Backblast: Inverted, where the player can have infantry occupy buildings for added protection. Attempting this with rocket-armed troops will result in the death of the rocket guy, some or all of any other infantry in the building, and considerable damage to the building itself the instant something hostile comes within range of the garrisoned building and those rocket guys open fire on it. | |

Act of War (Video Game) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Played straight and zig-zagged. Zakharov orchestrates a series of failing terrorist attacks throughout Direct Action's story for the sole purpose of setting up the Invaded States of America. His main method of setting up the invasion is getting himself captured by Task Force Talon and the plan is mostly successful. Zhakarov's downfall however was not anticipating Task Force Talon tracking Chamberlain's GPS-laden watch which led to Zakharov's HQ being destroyed. | |

Boring, but Practical: Of all the playable factions, the US Army is the most "conventional," with its units generally being far less flashy or futuristic in design. On the other hand, its arsenal is still rugged and robust enough to win the day. | |

President Evil: Turns out the Big Bad of High Treason is Vice President Cardiff, who is a Consortium mole and orchestrated the assassination of President Baldwin and the kidnapping of Senator Watts so he could become president and win the election unopposed. He does become president for a while, but TFT rescues Senator Watts, who exposes Cardiff's allegiance. | |

Motive Decay: The plot of Direct Action went from the Consortium monopolising the increasing oil prices via terrorist attacks to Zakharov waging war with America because he can. He even lampshades it when he is brought back to the States, giving a sarcastic response when the Americans ask him why he did what he did. It is also made clear since the first mission that the rest of the Consortium is not happy whatever he's doing and they eventually cut ties with each other sometime before TFT enters Russia. | |

Police Are Useless: Averted in San Francisco and Washington DC levels where you can find and recruit survivors of the local police and SWAT teams respectively and are capable of dealing a lot of damage, though not taking much. In-Universe, these guys managed to survive against enemies armed with military hardware, making them definitely not "useless". Averted by the Metropolitan Police in the London level, who are in a similar boat of being able to deal a fair amount of damage but not necessarily take it, and who put up a fight against enemies with military hardware as well. | |

Critical Existence Failure: Zig-Zagged. Infantry will lose speed when their health drops below half, and vehicles and ships can't shoot when badly damaged enough. Structures and aircraft, on the other hand, don't lose any of their capabilities as they take damage. | |

The Masquerade: A mundane version occurs in the second San Francisco mission in Direct Action, when Richter asks General Kelly to authorize the use of S.H.I.E.L.D units. Chamberlain rejects it on the grounds that there are reporters all over the city and the revelation of the US military having Powered Armor would be the icing on an already disastrous situation. Richter counters that the already bad situation will get even worse without them, and Chamberlain concedes. | |

Our Presidents Are Different: President Baldwin is somewhere between President Personable and President Iron: In person he is quite polite and affable. He stands by what he believes but is still willing to listen to the counsel of those around him when presented with good evidence. He also has some elements of President Action, being a veteran of the Vietnam War and using military protocol when his helicopter is shot down to help TFT rescue him before the Consortium can kill him. | |

It received a brief Handwave about the Egyptian oil fields being the most potent ones discovered yet, and that Transglobal had the technological means to end the crisis. In High Treason, we hear that the Consortium took over Cuba, but that plot goes nowhere once TFT leaves. There is also a brief Handwave that the country would have been abandoned following the Consortium's destruction. | |

Monumental Damage | |
Act of War (Video Game) / int_dddbdc26 | comment |
Monumental Damage: In Direct Action, the Golden Gate bridge gets badly damaged during the campaign, and the last two missions have several Washington DC monuments that can be destroyed, though this causes mission failure for a couple of them. | |

Decoy Protagonist: Jefferson is a lot more prominent in the first quarter of Direct Action than he is in the rest of it. | |

Shoot the Medic First | |
Act of War (Video Game) / int_df858e81 | comment |
Shoot the Medic First: Given how important POWs are to the game's economy, it's vital to take out your opponent's ability to heal their troops and their medevac units. Except for TFT, because their medic equivalent, the nanowave healing center, reaches anywhere, making it that much difficult to counter. | |

Composite Character: While called the "Army", the manual clarifies that the faction actually represents the combined forces of the Army, the Navy, the Air Force and the Marine Corps. | |

Running Both Sides | |
Act of War (Video Game) / int_e75223e1 | comment |
Running Both Sides: The Consortium has the means to fund all of the bleeding edge military technologies, which include Task Force Talon's advanced units thanks to having officers like Chamberlain in the U.S. military leadership during Direct Action. The facade does break in High Treason and by that game's conclusion, the Consortium has resorted to using the remaining leftovers of Task Force Talon's arsenal until their demise. | |

Act of War (Video Game) / int_eb7dad86 | comment |
Civil Warcraft: The last two missions in Direct Action have you going up against Consortium troops exclusively using US Army equipment and uniforms. More prominent in High Treason, since the plot of the game is about a coup d'état of the US government. The final mission even features Consortium troops using Task Force Talon equipment for the first time. | |
