I've been looking for a competitive RTS to play with friends via hamachi and stumbled over some half forgotten sources claiming Armies of Exigo was great. Does anybody here have deeper knowledge on that matter? I really would like to invest some money if it's worth it. | ||

Advice: Wouldn't spend any money on it. If you want maximum mindless rts fun play dawn of war and it's expansions instead. | ||

http://www.blackholegames.com/aoxsite/ I bought a retail of it this week. I know that the servers are down because this fucking EA has ditched this excellent product but it's still worth to buy it even if just for the excellent campaign. You can of course get it off the torrents or something because the game is pretty hard to get (almost abandonware), my retail costed like 5$ so it's no big expense. | ||

It never got the attention it deserved, many magazines criticized its 'outdated' interface. | ||

Most fun RTS I've ever played besides SC and MAYBE Warcraft 2, and I only played like under 10 games (my comp for some reason couldn't run it back during the beta so playing it meant playing on my brothers comp/some other comp and that was a hassle), but I'm still confident in saying this.Armies of Exigo. I DL Beta version off line like a year ago. It was pretty much a copy of starcraft. One race has a creep, i think there is a race which is kinda like protoss. its a rip off. The game just had this really nice feeling to it, units listen to what you tell them to do, they react instantly, there was micro, there was rushing etc :D Hm, I remember there were some cool units fallen could make that either looked like trees or infested trees, and shot lurkerish spines. I remember beating muhweli (I THINK it was muhweli, I know I played him at least, although I might be confusing this particular game with a game vs Travin) with mass goblins (or whatever their names were) + trolls  Then he did the fallen equivalent of 4 pool and owned me.If I remember correctly Muhweli got pretty good at the game later on (or perhaps was pretty good already, I forget). Ahh I really regret not playing the game for the short time it had an online community. Downloaded it recently (not even sure I could find it in stores if looked..), so I guess I'd be interested in playing, maybe we could have a TL-AOX meetup | ||

I never played retail); it was the only RTS I really enjoyed (other than StarCraft) . . . pity that it died at such a young age. Speaking of Armies of Exigo, does/has anybody play/played Warhammer: Mark of Chaos . . . Blockhole's (AoX creator) other RTS? It looks kind of neat, I am getting the SP and MP demos right now. 74% on Gamerankings. 7.2 on Gamespot. 8 on IGN. Not too bad; as long as a game does not get below 5, 50%, or 2 1/2 stars, it's all good. Isnt Warhammer a rip off of WoW or some shit like that? | ||

Dawn of War series is a futuristic RTS, Age of Reckoning is an MMORPG, and Mark of Chaos is a fantasy RTS; all of which are based on Warhammer. Ohhhh, there was a new game coming out that ressembles World of Warcraft. Maybe it was DoomHammer or something else. | ||

what could be better than a starcraft rip off in medieval-fantasy setting? They can't do anything wrong with that concept  | ||
