I got a CD version when I got older, and the game was reaaaaaaly buggy and harder than I remembered.
Deadlock 2 had you actually playing on a different planet for each mission, with each planet having a different resource balance based on terrain.
The final ending is when you finish the campaign of the Uva Mosk (one of the species in the game) and
Figure out that the secret of the shrines was actually terraforming technology, and the shrines are the terraformers
Which sure isn't a very exciting, but for ppl like me who really like strategy management games , this was a very good game.
Coincidentally, the Uva Mosk are also the easiest species to play since they have a very high bonus to aircraft combat among other things. So I think I finished their campaign first or second.
Also, back then I thought that the human councilor was voiced by Whoopi Goldberg.
