When I first set eyes on this game, I knew that I would have a blast. And, I did.
In the game, you must select a unit, then order it to attack an enemy. The units vary from troopers, to tanks, to bombers, to turrets. You can never run out of units to choose from.
The game has resources that you must gather (carbon, food, ore, nova crystals). You use them to build troops, vehicles, buildings, and research technology.
Some minor setbacks can be found. For example, most units do not have good range. And, no unit can fire while moving. Also, once you create 75-250 units, your population will be full.
I loved this game. It is one of many excellent Star Wars games. Lucasarts really makes awesome games.
