The best RTS of all time
I'm not exaggerating. This is THE best RTS of all time. I've been playing it non-stop for the past 10 years. Forged Alliance is the peak of it. The graphics hold up remarkably well and haven't aged poorly at all. But where this game shines is in how 10 years later I'm still learning it's intricacies and new strategies. First, I have to confess that I've barely touched any of the single player campaign. I can't give that an honest review and you will need to find a review of that elsewhere. But the multiplayer is unmatched and the community is very active. There are mods to the game which can be added that give new units, graphical tweaks, etc. I personally like the one that cleans up the UI, adds UI quality of life improvements, and has the original music from Total Annihilation play in games. The multiplayer: It is intense and very active. There is a site called Forged Alliance Forever which keeps this game active. It is DEEP. The game requires a player to learn good build orders, resource management, unit production, and strategies. I love it when a player pulls off an amazing move I've never seen before. I love it when a game has a team on the brink of defeat and through smart strategy is able to turn things around and defeat the other team. The gave has 4 factions, each with very unique units. The economies overall are pretty similar but the units do have well balanced variations. What's great is that there is a counter to everything. Cruisers will rip apart air units and hold their on in naval battles and shore attacks, but have no defense against subs. Subs can tear apart units when used en masse, but destroyers and sub hunters can rip them apart. Nukes are devastating, but there is strategic missile defense that can intercept nukes en route. Artillery can rip apart a base, but shields can hold them in check while land units take them out. You won't be bored with this game.
