Resistance156: The Sacrifice Source code was never released, I'm guessing, correct? I was kind of wondering if there were any graphic engine enhancements, or high-res texture packs out for it. All things considered though, for a 9 year old game it still looks great.

The only graphical enhancement was some DirectX improvements made in Patch 3 for the original game. I'm downloading Sacrifice right now, so I don't know if Patch 3 is included, but that's all we've got. =]

Okay, advice, please? I'm considering purchase of Sacrafice.
I've played a handful of RTS games.
I'm currently playing "Original War" and love the fact that I can
pause the game, scroll around, issue orders while paused, and they
will be carried out once I un-pause the game.
To me, this is a no-brainer design feature: EVERY game should be
like this. I'm not a crack-smoking robot, I have HUMAN reaction
time!
Original War even adds in a speed adjustor, so that combat or
gameplay can be slowed down or sped up.....no more feeling like you
are watching paint dry while waiting for something to be built, no more
nausea/panic/frustration/hate feeling when inevitably overwhelmed by
an unrealistic number of AI controlled enemies. Frustration does not
equal fun, in my book. I don't enjoy reloading a scenario eighteen times
to be able to beat it.
I've been reacquainting myself with Empire Earth, too, and am remembering
why I hated it so intensely. The game cheats, and overwhelms you with
insane numbers of units from ALL the enemy cultures, all at once.
So....Sacrafice looks and sounds fantastic......BUT! The Wikipedia review
mentions that you cannot see all of your units, so you cannot properly give
commands in combat. Did they patch that? Because it is an utterly fatal flaw.
Can you at least pause the game, scroll around and give orders?
Can you adjust game speed at least?
Please, God, let someone have patched this game properly.
