the editor is considered to be one of the best around in terms of the amount of manueverablity you can get. But I still don't know how to create a group of soldiers in a certain place. I tried to read some other people's scenarios but it's all greek to me.

You mean this?

"The Scientologists are about as good at hiding their evil as Adolf Hitler wearing a Darth Vader costume while murdering a handicapped orphan dressed as Abraham Lincoln."


I do not suffer cults gladly.

I've given the game another try, and it's admitedly not as bad as I originally thought... now that I am used to the papers, rocks, scissors combat.

But the AI cheats way to much on random maps for it to be fun.

yeah, definetly, the cheating.... yuck. I have created a scenario with a random map and random locations, but disabled AI cheating, and the computer doesn't seem to be able to manage his workers. AT ALL.

oh, and the paper/rock/scissors gets much more interesting later. .

Yes, I do.



It's a mediocre RTS at best.

A hell of a lot of room for improvement. But I do enjoy playing the campaigns.

A decent AI is all that they really need. Even the AOE2 AI was somewhat better.

I found the campaigns to be dull. There was no sense of accomplishment, like in C&C or AoE. For instance, I played the German campaign. It didn't matter that I won all of the WWI scenarios and thus, by implication, the war. I was then fast-forwarded to WWII, saying I'd lost WWI and wanted payback.

Huh?

I did like the 3-D close-up zooming, but that was all I found of any uniqueness in the game. People raved about the number of units, but so what? It was, if anything, unit overload. You didn't need to use most of them.

It's fun, but it feels more like an upgrade to AOE2 than a stand alone game.
