This game what hooked me on RTS games in the first place , yes I had played Age of Empires one and two before though I liked those much I found something lacking there. Pop cap of 175 come on. And havingcavemen develop from the dark age before time until th Space age was one of the grandest apeal of the game in addition to this the battles are still grand in scale. You cannot imagine how disappionted I was about for exaple to discover in Dawn of War II that you only can have at best a patrol skirmish still having in mind the 12+ hour Mp sessions of EE LAN Parties with ten thausands of casualties. Yeah by now the low poly style doesnt hold up anymore but it still is functional and there is grafical onlyone faction though I dont regret anything about playing this for about two decades now. Economy really basic though you wont have stripped the whole map after half an hour like in AoE. And you dont have to deal with just 2 rescourses like in Coc when you are screwed anyway when you are missing one. No iron? go for trech motars instetad! Noch gold ? Roll the riflemen out. The only nippick Ii have here that you only can have a market if you buy it as a civ trait [ i belive it was called stock exchange[ Worth it in best regards.
