Fine Game but
The saves in Dark Reign don't work as it has the save coming from the expansion not the core game and then crashes.

Almost everything available
Almost everything is available for you to do in game. You can play through every mission and they are just like I remember. The only issue I have run into is that you can't use the expansion teams outside of the main missions. They are not available in the map editor or the instant action maps. The Shadowhand was my favorite faction to play as.

Good, fun RTS game! 2024: Works on Win10
I had the issue with the "LSD colours", too! ... a few years ago. Now I tried it again (Win10) and it runs perfectly.

Endless fun
By far the best mode of play is multiplayer and skirmish modes the best thing about this game however was its open architecture and the strong developer community. With just a little bit of practice you could build your own units and buildings. I spent tons of time modding mine. Tons of fun!
