Pros
This is an awesome RTS game. I really like the controls / interface, well done. There are many ways to out do the enemy, and many ways to be out-done. The A.I. can keep you on your toes if you set it up high enough. Real Time Fun. Love it ! ! !
Cons
There was only one thing... I would have liked to zoom out even further... perhaps this has already been adjusted. We will see...
Summary
I would play this with my friends on the LAN or WEB any day.
