Very ugly 3D RTS game with very clunky controls BUT

I find myself actually having a lot of fun with this one more than most shockingly enough. This game masters the pacing issue that many RTS games lack. Its slower but not in a Northgard way (IE very small pop cap, disasters, ect)

The best way I can describe it is: Take star craft, right? Now imagine that instead of finite resources you have resource generators and storage, and instead of paying for stuff outright and waiting for the production to finish, you pay over the course of production in smaller incriments, and instead of destroying everything, you just have to destroy your opponents commander - which is a mobile unit with a lot of health that can essentially rebuild an entire base from scratch

This game is a turtles paradise because the defensive structures are really good and there are no real third party objectives. You can capture additional resource points if you'd like but they arent truly necessary if you balance your production properly

Amazing gameplay, its shocking that I havent heard about this until just now and its equally shocking that no game has really tried to replicate its more casual appeal.

Best RTS Game

Great game, follows on from the original nicely, keeping the scale of conflict epic, with so many unit types that no two battles are necessarily the same -the ultimate real time strategy game for it's age.

It's pretty good.
Allows you to throw around massive deathball armies like nothing else.
Better than SupCom2.

Some elements haven't aged well, its got some absurdly long build times and questionable pathing and lacks some of the QOL changes things like Beyond All Reason have added, but its still really solid and very good for its age. I'd recommend Beyond All Reason over it for multiple reasons, biggest one being its free but this game is a classic for a reason. 8/10
