A.I.M. 2: Clan Wars

A computer game in the simulation genre with RPG and arcade elements, developed by Russian studio SkyRiver Studios and released in 2006. The storyline continues from the first installment and unfolds on the planet Polygon-4, where the player, the first fifth-generation mechanoid, is rescued by another of his kind after a prolonged stay in the Outer World. During the Reformation period, old clans disbanded, giving way to new, more powerful formations vying for control over Polygon's systems. The player must establish their own clan, unite the fifth generation, and capture key locations on the planet to free mechanoids from their creators' directives. Gameplay offers nonlinear progression with complete freedom in task resolution methods. The game world comprises various sectors, including deserts, hills, ruins, rocks, tundra, toxic swamps, arctic regions, and underground communications. Each sector is controlled by a specific clan, and players can traverse between them by acquiring special keys. Sectors house bases and auxiliary structures where missions can be obtained, information gathered, and gliders repaired. Establishing a personal clan involves persuading other mechanoids, achievable through combat or diplomatic means. The game was recognized for its original storyline and was nominated for the Gameland Award 2007 in the categories of "Best Domestic Action" and "Best Sequel of a Domestic Game."
