one of the greatest games of all time, never gets boring, and its recreations do it amazing justice, beyond all reason is great and free
Decent, frustrating at times on account of terrible unit pathing, especially with boats that will just scatter around when at first when trying to move to a destination, and the AI is a bit cheaty with its vision of your units at all times so they can always shoot at the maximum range of their weapons. Groups are easy to accidentally deselect just by clicking a little too much when giving them move orders. Building interface is missing some shortcuts to facilitate building, but it's an older game, so much of the complaints are understandable for when it was created. Loads of maps though on the campaign. It has never taken so long to unlock all the units and buildings. Still only halfway through them, a little annoying. Finally, can't set it to windowed mode without using something like DxWnd, and otherwise it really messes up the sizing of all your windows when tabbing out
One of the best RTS ever made! Controls are outdated by modern standards but it remain a fundamental of strategy games and a must play!
