This is one of those great games though that did not age well at all, with the mechanics being so stiff that even a taste of anything from Z! to Command and Conquer 1 to... whatever, made it so impossible to play unless you had that fuel we call nostalgia, so seeing it with a few improvements is nice. Will have to try it out, many thanks. | ||

Little sad on 2 things: 1) srsly, like 7 people play this game 2) micro is discouraged - if you move a unit being attacked, it takes 20% more damage. Hey man, Yeah we had some fun, didn't we? You need to understand that it's not Brood War with dune 2 graphics so the micro/macro mechanics are not always the same  thanks for playing with us last night, it was fun! | ||

Btw, to be able to join/host games without hamachi you need to open tcp 10191 and 10192 ports if you have a router. (I opened udp just in case, but the game is using tcp) On June 07 2011 00:29 Kickboxer wrote: It's so funny how back in the day you would look at the screen playing this game and be totally blown away by the amazing graphics.

We're getting really spoiled I like how the game looks. it's pretty clean. except that the building icons are kinda harder to understand. | ||
