Starcraft, take a seat. Age of Empires, take notes. THIS is what a good strategy game looks like. A panoply of factions, each one with a distinct flavor and playstyle, a well developed world, RPG elements wonderfully blended into an RTS and above all great gameplay. Before finding this, I had been working on actually setting up a Win98 box for the sole purpose of playing this jewel. The graphics may not be on par with modern games, but I'd still take this over Starcraft 2 if I had to make a choice.
