智抗糖與臺灣阿斯特捷利康簽訂合作備忘錄 啟動慢性腎臟病智慧照護方案

亞洲最大慢性病數位照護平台 Health2Sync 智抗糖宣布，將與​​​​深耕糖尿病及心腎疾病領域的國際藥廠臺灣阿斯特捷利康（AstraZeneca / AZ）簽訂合作備忘錄，啟動「慢性腎臟病智慧照護方案」，攜手將數位照護模式，擴大佈局到基層腎臟專科診所。該智慧照護方案旨在協助醫護人員及早發現糖腎共病的高風險族群，期盼透過早期治療，提升慢性腎臟病管理品質、減緩疾病人口增加，進一步舒緩龐大的健保支出負擔。

Health2Sync 智抗糖從糖尿病及高血壓照護出發，其結合數據分析與行為改變的數位工具，已證實能幫助慢性病友進行更有效的疾病管理；根據健保署統計，慢性腎病支出多年蟬聯健保花費之首，109 年整體醫療費用更高達新台幣 562 億，其中洗腎人口更有 40%-50% 係由糖尿病引起。因此，如何透過數位工具，協助醫護人員篩選出高風險的慢性腎臟病患，及早介入預防，成為這次智抗糖與 AZ 的合作契機。

為了分擔醫護人員的照護負擔、提升病患管理效率，Health2Sync 執行長鄧居義表示，考量到糖尿病與初期慢性腎臟病的危險因子多有重疊，智抗糖的「雲端照護平台」在篩選出高風險的慢性腎臟病患後，將依照病患狀態自動歸類分群、並同步發送衛教訊息；同時，也將檢驗數據圖表化，方便醫護人員向病患解釋病情，達到更順暢的醫病溝通。

除了早期發現與治療外，延緩慢性腎臟病患者進入洗腎階段也是一大重點。健保署繼「糖尿病醫療給付改善方案」和「初期慢性腎臟病醫療給付改善方案」後，也在今年三月新增「糖尿病及初期慢性腎臟病照護整合方案」；對此，腎臟醫學會理事長黃尚志表示：「我們相信在政策的鼓勵下，會讓醫界更願意投入前端預防，避免更多初期慢性腎臟病患走向健康惡化；當病患的病況改善，長期而言對健保支出也會有幫助。」

中華民國診所協會全國聯合會理事長陳宏麟也指出：「基層診所一直致力於慢性病的早期介入，目前已有 200 多間基層診所，積極透過智抗糖輔助照護糖尿病及高血壓病患，我們也很期待可以將數位工具的應用，擴大到慢性腎臟病患照護。」他進一步補充，我們也看到其他國家已陸續將數位工具納入健保給付範疇，以數據追蹤介入治療、達到更好的疾病照護目標，期待未來政府能挹注更多的資源與預算，推動醫療院所照護數位化。

臺灣阿斯特捷利康總裁 Claudio Longo 指出：「我們相信藥品搭配數據的整合照護，可以協助更多基層診所及病患。這次與 Health2Sync 智抗糖合作，就是希望能及早發現並治療慢性腎臟病，提供病患更完善的照護環境。」 AZ 與 Health2Sync 智抗糖的合作計劃將從臺灣率先啟動，期待未來進一步提供其他市場的病患與醫療團隊更完善的慢性病數位療法解決方案。

在俄羅斯去年發射了一枚反衛星導彈之後，SpaceX的Starlink它不得不對其衛星進行了一千多次的機動操作。

SpaceX在提交給FCC的文件中透露，在俄羅斯去年發射了一枚反衛星導彈之後，SpaceX的Starlink它不得不對其衛星進行了一千多次的機動操作。

該文件描述了其衛星的狀態並分享了其他細節，如今年脫離軌道的衛星數量和可能經歷的其他故障。

Starlink衛星燃燒，隨高度增加，增加難度

這份報告是在本月初提交的，它描述了Starlink為確保其衛星在被獵鷹9號火箭發射後能安全進入地球軌道而採取的步驟。這些衛星最初被放置在停放軌道上，在那裡它們的系統被檢查，然後等到測試結束就被提升到軌道以提供網路服務。

通常，Starlink衛星會將自己停在350公里的高度，然後將高度提高到550公里。SpaceX描述，從2021年12月開始到2022年5月底，該公司進行了6873次機動調整以確保其衛星既不會有相互碰撞的風險，同時也不會與屬於其他電信商的衛星發生干擾或碰撞。

Starlink採取的標準要比同業來得高，SpaceX會在碰撞概率為0.00001時進行機動調整，而行業遵循的標準是0.0001。

SpaceX採取規避行動

在眾多促使其採取規避行動的事件中，SpaceX表示，2022年2月的地磁暴和2021年11月的俄羅斯反衛星導彈試驗，都促使該公司對衛星進行調整。SpaceX在2月3日發射了49顆衛星，另外，報告還概述了其中38顆衛星由於太陽風暴而不得不重新進入地球大氣層。據悉，在太陽風暴下，太陽粒子以662公里/秒的速度飛行。

該公司解說道，風暴導致其衛星經歷了50%的高阻力（航天器跟周圍環境之間的摩擦），然後導致只有11顆衛星能達到一個安全的位置以抵禦這一事件。為了避免未來發生此類事件，Starlink衛星已經收到了一個飛行控制的軟體更新，SpaceX正計畫改善它們跟地面站的通信以便更好地控制。

SpaceX還表示，由於俄羅斯聯邦在11月進行的反衛星導彈測試，該公司不得不對其衛星進行1700多次機動調整以避免遭到碎片攻擊。在這次測試中，俄羅斯的直接上升式反衛星A-235 Nudol彈道導彈瞄準了低地球軌道(LEO)上的一顆衛星--Kosmos 1408，其高度比Starink衛星略低。

根據美國務院的估計，這次事件至少產生了1500塊碎片，並且在2022年1月發生了一塊碎片跟中國科學衛星之間危險的近距離接觸事件。

SpaceX報告稱，由於A-235測試，它不得對其衛星進行調整。

根據最新的數據和4月份跟FCC分享的另一份報告，到目前為止，在2022年有6顆Starlink衛星面臨故障問題。其中，兩顆是疑似電腦故障的結果，兩顆是執行器故障，其餘的則分別是電源系統故障。

SpaceX概述道，在最新報告的時間段內，52顆執行中的衛星不得不脫離軌道，其中只有5顆衛星完全失去控制。

　　美东时间周五，阿里巴巴被美国证券交易委员会（SEC）列入“预摘牌”名单，面临退市的风险。截至收盘，阿里巴巴股价下跌11%，至89.37美元，当月累计下跌21.4%。

　　根据美国2020年通过的《外国公司问责法》（HFCAA），如果在美上市外国公司连续三年无法让美国监管机构检查审计底稿，可能会被强制退市。几天前，阿里发布了2022财年年报，当时外界就预计该公司很可能会被SEC列入“预摘牌”名单。

　　2014年，阿里巴巴赴美IPO，是当时历史上规模最大的IPO。截至本周五收盘，阿里巴巴市值2366.64亿美元（约合人民币1.59万亿元），已经距离2020年末的市值高点缩水超70%。

　　近日，阿里已经宣布申请在香港把上市地位从第二上市改为主要上市，预期将于2022年年底前生效。

　　相关主要上市流程完成后，阿里将实现在纽约证券交易所和香港联交所的双重主要上市。券商分析师认为，在港双重上市企业有机会纳入港股通，有望获得更高的流动性，提高公司的融资能力。

　　“在香港申请主要上市身份并不一定意味着他们认为自己会在美国退市……这只是为了降低潜在风险。”美国老虎证券分析师Bo Pei表示。

　　除阿里外，周五被列入名单的其他公司包括蘑菇街、波奇宠物、猎豹移动公司等。

共和党“反对政府干预市场”的传统？

不重要。

民主党“拒绝给大公司提供联邦资金”的坚持？

也不重要。

什么，芯片是个非常依赖全球协作的产业？

在打压中国、实现美国利益面前，那就更不重要了。

本周四，继参议院投票通过后，众议院也投票通过了《芯片和科技法案》（CHIPS and Science Act ）。只待美国总统拜登签字即可生效 ，而拜登一直是这个法案的支持者和鼓吹者。

这个推进了很久的法案，基本思路就是通过政府提供巨额补贴来促使核心的芯片厂商选边站，逼迫他们必须来美国建厂生产，并孤立中国。

因此，这个法案是几十年来美国政府罕见的对产业政策的最大干预，也是罕见的向大公司直接补贴的法案，反对这两种行为原本都是两党各自最大的“人设”，然而法案最终得到了两党压倒性的投票支持。

这项法案的补贴总额高达2800亿美元。据北京日报梳理，“该法案融合了经济和国家安全政策，包括两项对华竞争的重要内容：一是为美国半导体企业提供520亿美元的补贴和额外税收抵免。二是为科研领域提供大约2000亿美元支持，特别是在人工智能、机器人技术、量子计算等尖端领域。”

据悉，《芯片和科技法案》旨在落地2020年通过的《芯片法案》（CHIPS Act）中的具体投资预算，包括对芯片行业527亿美元的补贴、对半导体和设备制造25%的投资税收抵免、以及对无线宽带科技的研发投入等扶持政策，以鼓励企业在美国建厂。

其巨额补贴具体规划为（每个项目获得的补贴额度最大一般不超过30亿美元）：

• 390亿用于鼓励芯片生产；

• 110亿用于补贴芯片研发；

• 20亿针对国家安全相关的关键芯片的生产；

• 5亿支持安全可靠的半导体供应链的开发；

• 2亿用于半导体从业队伍的扩大。

图源：集微网

这笔补贴当然不是好拿的。法案列出的获得这些巨额补贴的前提里，毫不掩饰的把孤立中国列为了重要条件。

根据法案，只要拿了这笔补贴，就不能“对美国构成国家安全威胁的特定国家扩大或建设某些先进半导体制造能力”，且时效限定为10年：

“在商务部长根据本条规定向涵盖实体提供联邦财政资助的日期或之前，涵盖实体应与部长签订协议，明确规定从资助日期开始的10年期间，涵盖实体不得参与协议中定义的涉及中华人民共和国或其他受关注国家的半导体制造能力实质性扩张的任何重大交易。”

具体执行方式是每四年审查一次：

“科技政策办公室主任每四年对科技企业进行一次审查，并说明其审查范围及内容的具体要求。 本条规定的审查要求将在本法颁布十年后终止。”

图源《芯片和科技法案》。

这条禁令基本上是专门为中国而设的，因此又被称为“中国护栏”。《芯片和科技法案》脱胎于《两党创新法案》，而《两党创新法案》又被称为《美国对华竞争法案》。《两党创新法案》声称需要提升美国的科技研发能力，以应对中国等国竞争压力与威胁的名义，案文提及中国高达800余次。

《芯片和科技法案》还补充，此项“中国护栏”只对两种例外失效：

其一，该实体用于制造传统半导体的现有设施或设备；

其二，虽然涉及实质性扩大半导体制造能力的重大交易，但该交易仅涉及生产传统半导体，且主要服务于所关注的外国市场。

且以上两种例外均不涵盖美国商务部长、国防部长和国家情报局局长协商确定的对国家安全至关重要的半导体。

需要注意的是，约定俗成，传统半导体制程一般在28纳米及以上。这也意味着，它的影响范围将更加广泛。在此之前，晶圆厂至少在布局16纳米及以上制程产能时受限制较少，比如位于南京的台积电晶圆16厂就可生产16纳米晶圆。而且，即便符合这两项例外，在协议期限内，涉及到此类的重大交易依然必须通知美国商务部，这就保留了相当大的操作空间。

这个法案将成为美国的又一大恶法，是美国针对中国的孤立主义的又一大发明。

全球半导体目前已发展成千亿美元的巨型产业，产业链也已经实现全球化。美国、韩国、日本、中国、欧洲等各方发挥各自优势，均是全球半导体产业不可或缺的组成之一。目前，全球并未有任何一个国家或地区能够实现半导体的自给自足。据统计，一些先进芯片的生产包括1000多个工序，需要超过70次跨境合作来完成。

有研究员分析称，所谓芯片法案的根本，是用大量财政补贴和税收减免方式提高美国国内的芯片制造产能，同时试图限制中国芯片制造业的发展，但这样的非市场行为势必破坏现有的全球芯片产业链，并且很可能导致全球性的芯片（特别是先进制程芯片）的产能过剩。

我国商务部新闻发言人29日表示，法案对美本土芯片产业提供巨额补贴，是典型的差异化产业扶持政策。部分条款限制有关企业在华正常经贸与投资活动，将会对全球半导体供应链造成扭曲，对国际贸易造成扰乱。中方对此高度关注。

法案还没正式生效前美国已经开始强迫芯片厂在中国和美国之间进行站队，特别是在中国大陆有投资的半导体厂商，比如台积电、三星、英特尔、环球晶圆等。据美国媒体报道，其中几家芯片公司已经表态，它们将在未来几周内根据是否收到资金会很快到位的保证，做出商业决定。

今年的比賽收到了來自2800名攝影師的約1萬幅作品。有四個常規類別：街道、人物、空間和創意。

城市攝影獎傾向於強調那些奇妙的同步性，這是偉大的街頭攝影的一個特點。一隻鳥從一隻狗身邊飛過，攝影師完美地捕捉到了這一瞬間，這讓人覺得這隻狗有翅膀。一個男人在河邊低頭祈禱，背景是一群鳥在飛。

這些奇妙的時間時刻伴隨著今年決賽選手的其他亮點，如引人注目的新舊並置，成堆的塑料椅子與古代紀念碑的柱子一字排開。

獲獎者名單將在9月下旬作為義大利的里雅斯特攝影節的一部分公佈。

Arm CEO：不再糾結於NVIDIA收購失敗 在雲計算和汽車領域加倍投入

對於日本軟銀集團旗下英國晶片設計子公司Arm來說，今年的開局似乎並不順利，晶片巨頭NVIDIA斥資400億美元收購該公司的計畫因監管阻礙而落空。

不過，Arm首席執行長雷恩·哈斯（Rene Haas）表示，該公司不會因此而陷入低迷。相反，Arm計畫在雲端運算、網路、汽車和物聯網等行業加倍投入，同時應對持續的晶片供應短缺挑戰。

哈斯樂觀面對現況

哈斯說：「這不是我們要糾結的事情，我們對Arm目前的處境感到滿意。我們認為，就公司的發展而言，我們正處於一個非常有利的環境中。」

2016年，日本軟銀集團斥資310億美元收購了Arm，在此之前，Arm為更廣泛的市場設計晶片。但現在，它已經是個「截然不同的公司」。哈斯說，Arm正在為特定市場設計產品，比如需要高性能晶片的雲計算領域，以及需要內置安全功能的汽車等。如今，Arm的主要客戶包括亞馬遜AWS和微軟Azure等雲計算巨頭。

與此同時，據稱軟銀始終在推動Arm進行首次公開募股（IPO）。最近有報導稱，由於英國政局動盪，該公司暫停了在倫敦上市的計畫。但軟銀創始人孫正義今年6月表示，他傾向於在美國上市，因為Arm的很多客戶都在美國。

Arm也逃不過晶片短缺危機

不過，Arm也未能倖免於晶片短缺危機。哈斯說，如果晶片供應商不能向AMD、NVIDIA、博通和英特爾等合作夥伴發貨，那麼Arm就無法從其設計中獲得專利收入。同樣，Arm的設計也被用於駕駛系統、自動剎車等。如果沒有這些晶片，汽車就無法發貨。

Arm仍在繼續成長壯大。根據5月份公佈的財報，得益於5G智慧手機、汽車晶片等領域的增長，Arm在2021年的專利收入增長了20%，達到創紀錄的15.4億美元(約460億台幣)。哈斯稱，Arm晶片出貨量也創下了292億枚的紀錄。如果不出現短缺，這個數字可能會更高。

在全球範圍內，晶片短缺已經對汽車、電腦等行業的供應鏈造成了嚴重破壞。蘋果等消費電子公司、以及通用汽車和福特等汽車製造商都受到了供應短缺的嚴重衝擊。作為回應，晶片巨頭英特爾正在美國建立新工廠，而晶片製造商台積電報告稱，由於需求不斷增長，今年第二季度營收達到創紀錄的181.6億美元(約5.4兆台幣)。

未來，Arm將專注於讓其晶片設計在高性能任務(如機器學習)中變得更高效。哈斯表示，他看好自動駕駛汽車的未來，因為它可能更安全。同時，他也看到了元宇宙(Metaverse)蘊含的增長機會。哈斯說:「我們認為，在這些領域，對高性能和高效計算的需求從未如此之大。我們將繼續投資以擴大在這些領域的市佔率。」

新創公司將人工智慧視覺技術應用在板球、足球等運動賽事上新加坡 TVConal 公司打造人工智慧影像分析平台，能夠自動標記體育賽事中發生的各種事件

體育比賽會產生大量資料。深度技術新創公司 TVConal 的總經理 Masoumeh Izadi 表示，以板球為例，每場比賽都會產生數百萬個影格資料點，供體育賽事分析師進行更深入的研究。來自新加坡的 TVConal 將 NVIDIA 人工智慧 (AI) 和電腦視覺技術運用在該公司的體育賽事影像分析平台，讓球隊、聯盟及轉播電視台等人員能夠即時從這些海量資料中，更深入洞悉球員在場上的表現。

TVConal 是電視內容分析 (Television Content Analytics) 的縮寫，該公司提供多種運動賽事的影像分析服務，重點鎖定板球、網球、羽球及足球。TVConal 使用 NVIDIA Metropolis 應用程式框架打造出 AI 視覺影像分析平台，能夠偵測賽事中的重要事件、模擬運動員的行為、預測球員接下來的動作等。這些功能都有助於剖析賽事中的枝微末節，使球隊能夠在場上做出更明智的決定。

TVConal 為 NVIDIA Inception 計畫的成員之一。NVIDIA 藉由 NVIDIA Inception 這項免費的計畫，支持利用頂尖技術革新產業發展樣貌的新創公司。

自動替比賽內容加上標記

替比賽內容加上標記這項功能可以為比賽中的重要事件建立時間軸，對於賽事影片分析而言非常重要。使用標記來產生詳細報告，讓裁判、教練、運動員及球迷都能透過統計資料及視覺回饋內容掌握球員表現。

Masoumeh Izadi 說明，比賽及比賽中的其他事件都在一瞬間發生，有些比賽需要多達 20 個記錄員即時替體育賽事加上標記。這是十分耗費時間和人力的工作。而體育賽事分析師使用 TVConal 的平台，只要點擊幾下滑鼠，就能從影格資料中取得寶貴洞察。AI 能夠自動且準確地即時為賽事加上標記，分析師便有時間深入挖掘資料，提供更詳盡的回饋給球隊。

該平台還能捕捉到肉眼可能沒看見的關鍵時刻或犯規動作。Masoumeh Izadi 說：「萬一球員在球場上犯規，而人類又無法在幾毫秒內做出反應，此平台可以偵測到犯規事件並通知裁判即時採取行動。」

TVConal 使用 NVIDIA Metropolis 打造出影像分析平台，協助他們簡化邊緣與雲端 AI 影像分析應用的開發、部署與擴展。Metropolis 提供預先完成訓練的模型、訓練及最佳化工具、軟體開發套件及 CUDA-X 函式庫等，全部皆已在基於 NVIDIA EGX 企業平台的 NVIDIA 認證系統上運行完成最佳化，以進行加速運算作業。

Masoumeh Izadi 表示：「NVIDIA 提供的軟體工具、框架和硬體，讓我們能夠更快反覆調整，在縮短生命週期、降低成本的同時，將想法推向市場。」

TVConal 使用 NVIDIA DeepStream SDK 來簡化影像處理流程、使用 NVIDIA 預先訓練好的模型及 TAO 工具套件加快 AI 訓練的速度，以及使用 NVIDIA TensorRT SDK 來最佳化推論能力。

TVConal 團隊透過 DeepStream 即時處理直播影音內容，達到追上影像畫面更新率的必要速度。TensorRT 函式庫幫助 TVConal 轉換其機器學習模型，以便在維持準確性之際，又能更快地處理資料。

TVConal 運用 NVIDIA Inception 計畫所提供的技術資源、產業專家指導及上市支援服務。國際生產公司 NEP Group、巴基斯坦板球委員會等單位皆是 TVConal 的客戶。

Masoumeh Izadi 指出，預計到 2028 年時，全球體育賽事分析市場規模將成長超過 20%。他表示：「我們可以從愈來愈多的體育賽事內容中取得寶貴的資訊。自動化影像處理能力將對體育界帶來革命性的變化，我們很高興能建立更先進的模型和流程以持續引領革新。」

全球更多新成員正使用 NVIDIA Metropolis 進行體育分析，包括新創公司 Pixellot、Track160 和 Veo。

盧泰文：摺疊智慧型手機躍升新主流

於8月10日三星Galaxy Unpacked 2022線上發表會前，三星電子總裁暨行動通訊事業部負責人盧泰文博士發表專欄，分享對摺疊智慧型手機的見解：

工程師是我一生的志業，我見證三星以諸多創新之舉，突破智慧型手機的極限。一路走來，我們堅守使命，致力打造提升人們生活品質的創新科技。十年前，我們留意到智慧型手機千篇一律－平面的長方形顯示器，並著手省思、立志推出顛覆性的新技術。我們不斷思考：如何同時升級螢幕尺寸與便攜性，實現面面俱到的目標？

我們看見了新的契機，以全新的造型設計、前所未有的體驗突破重圍，並超越傳統智慧型手機的能耐。在克服重重技術阻礙，三星於2019年成功推出首款摺疊智慧型手機，重塑產業的未來樣貌。

2021年，全球摺疊智慧型手機出貨量直逼1,000萬台大關；若以2020年為基期，整體產業成長幅度逾300%。我預測此波熱潮仍將持續，摺疊裝置在整體智慧型手機市場佔有率不斷攀升，呈現明顯的普及化態勢。

更重要的是，三星Galaxy摺疊智慧型手機改變了人們的行動裝置使用模式，並為全球用戶打造更美好的生活型態。

隨著生活型態的演變，展開摺學新世代

現今世界比以往更緊密相連，改變亦更加快速。工作和娛樂變得密不可分，實體與數位世界之間的界線逐漸模糊。我們透過單一裝置－智慧型手機，打理辦公、娛樂與健康大小事。因此，消費者需要一部靈活的裝置，滿足多元的日常需求。

Galaxy Fold和Galaxy Flip達成了這項使命。去年，七成Galaxy摺疊智慧手機用戶透過Flip系列看見不同視角的世界之美，Flip用戶渴望藉由前衛大膽的配色、Flex模式創造的全新拍照方式，盡情展現自我風格。

Fold系列亦提供別樹一格的體驗。去年，近三分之一的Galaxy摺疊智慧型手機用戶，鍾情於此款體現終極生產力的裝置，藉由緊密串聯、獨立運算，打理更多事務。Fold用戶喜愛雙倍螢幕的多工處理能力，實現事半功倍的高效作業。

這兩款摺疊系列的用戶，皆對三星的心血結晶愛不釋手。消費者的熱烈迴響，是激勵我們不斷進步的最大動力；在這股力量的鞭策下，我們邁開腳步，啟程尋找行動創新的嶄新可能。

今年，我們著眼於每一處細節，在各方面取得長足的進展，並藉由這兩款改變行為的裝置，實現令人耳目一新的體驗。我引頸期待，人們能藉由全新摺疊裝置，探索更多嶄新途徑，盡情投身熱衷之事。

當然，這一切亦歸功於我們與夥伴的開放式合作，以及秉持的共同理念。唯有凝聚眾人之力，才能為行動產業打造源源不絕的創新。我們持續與Google、Microsoft及其它電信夥伴等產業巨擘合作，攜手為整個摺疊裝置生態圈，拓展體驗的種種可能性。

為世界各地人們重新定義可能性

三年前，三星Galaxy摺疊機被視為「激進」。然而，其突破傳統、靈活設計的優勢不證自明，與現今的生活型態完美契合。因此，曾被視為「嘗鮮」之物的Galaxy摺疊機，今日已被數百萬用戶視為心中首選。

各位將在8月10日登場的 Unpacked發表會上，看到三星創新科技展現的影響力，不僅只於科技的能耐，而更著重消費者的一舉一動。我們再次從最重要的靈感來源－Galaxy用戶身上獲得啟發，挑戰無限可能。

我迫不及待想向各位介紹，三星Galaxy摺疊新機如何發揮「終極生產力工具」與「自我表達神器」的潛力。現在，您可以藉由單一裝置同時打理更多事務，徹底顛覆想像。

請作好準備－世界由你展開。

Game Description

THE END HAS BEGUN:
After decades of movies and video games speculating on a possible virus that turns humans into “zombies”, it has happened.

It all started with some strange viral videos on social media, where crazy people were seen biting others in public places. Afterward, the news began to talk about hospitals collapsing and mass hysteria that resulted in uncontrolled violence. A few weeks later, the first martial law was enacted, and frightened citizens locked themselves in their homes while authorities were attempting to contain an unprecedented social event.

THREE DIFFERENT FACTIONS!
Even if have passed just a few months since the first video was posted on social media, the world as we knew it’s long gone.

On one hand, the powerful national armies are desperately trying to restore an order that now seems forever lost.- On the other hand, there are the Infected or all those forms of life that have been infected by this mysterious living organism, which inexplicably seems to make intelligent choices in its actions.

Finally, there are the Survivors: men and women forced to survive day after day, isolated inside the metropolis they used to call home.

Each of these 3 factions has unique units, buildings, defenses, tactical and strategic supports!

Take advantage of the Army’s devastating firepower in the open field, assault the last human bulwarks by playing as the Infected… or try to survive at least another day as a Survivor.

Game Features

• Finally, you can play as a “bad guy” – as an Infected – or as someone who has experienced the apocalypse first-hand – as a Survivor.
• 3 fully characterized factions with unique playstyles: the Army is great at medium-long range, the Infected are unstoppable in close combat, and the Survivors try to dominate the battlefield with unconventional weapons.
• Day/night cycle (optional): the Infected will become more lethal at night, while humans will need artificial lighting systems to see through the darkness.
• If you don’t want to play an RTS the traditional way, you can play it as an ally that helps by providing close air support, managing tactical support, or boarding powerful “military” aircraft.
• When a battle starts during the Campaign, it will take place in the same biome of the hex where the defending army is present.
• Armies can have specializations that significantly change players’ and AI’s playstyle.
• You can decide your allies’ behavior before starting a battle to align their actions to your combat strategy.
• Some zombies and parasites can bring their victims back to life, so watch out for those killed in battle!
• There is a dynamic weather system (optional): random atmospheric events will take place in each biome ant that will heavily impact the battle.
• Buildings and strategic actions in the Campaign modify the player’s experience when he goes into battle.
• If you surround an enemy on the Campaign map, you also surround him in battle! Clashes in RTS will fully reflect the conditions of the Campaign around the battle hex!
• Varied and easily manageable aviation. Use powerful air support to thin enemy ranks, but watch out for the costs!
• Battles can involve up to 6 armies (1 player + 5 bots).
• The number of units on the entire battlefield is customizable but depends on the power of your computer; in fact, it can vary from a few hundred to several thousand.
• Many game parameters are customizable to have a less frustrating and more suitable gaming experience.
• Different types of battles and different types of campaigns.
• Considering all the maps, battle types, factions, AI behaviors, their specializations, and their initial positions on the battlefield, Age of Undead tends to be much more replayable than other similar games.
• You can complete the Campaign by fighting very few battles manually; just knowing how to face an enemy by taking advantage of your numerical superiority is enough for victory!
