Welcome to Stardrive Blackbox+Combined Arms: Definitive Guide this guide is designed to introduce new and old players to Stardrive Blackbox Combined Arms and for those who don't know Stardrive was a 4x Real Time Strategy Game released in 2013 to mixed reviews. Since then it has been "unofficially" taken over by the Modding team over at Blackbox and Combined Arms. They've overhauled the game completely fixing major issues as well as adding way more content. When watching the video you'll be introduced to all the aspects and mechanics of the original Stardrive as well as the new improvements made by Blackbox and Combined Arms.
