This is one of the most fun RTS's in awhile. I always have a blast playing this game. I just recently re-installed it and the fun was still there. Even after great games like C&C: Generals, or even Age of Mythology. The graphics are obviously sprite based, and quite dated by today’s standard, but the ability to have 200 units creates an ability to have an awesome display of troops that can slaughter anything in its path. It still has your typical resource gathering of wood, gold, stone, and food. This is typical but you can create a nice balance between the units and the workers. I have found that running out of resources can be a big issue though. However, the gameplay is addictive as Starcraft. The missions are a refreshing addition, and are a nice history lesson. The units have great path finding AI. I would recommend this one to anyone looking for an addictive game that will take hours away from your life.
