    Wondering where all this 10 ratings coming from??? This game is bad, rarely been so disappointed of a game. I just played 2 campaign scenarios and a random map. Depth is like one third of RON, lot of design flaws. Going to uninstall it. I rather play RON or Empire Earth again.

    In this game, some of the possible military outcomes are very strange. To take but two examples, medieval cavalry can defeat tanks and sailing ships can sink 20th Century battleships. I acknowledge that reality sometimes needs bending in order to give a good game, but hey, this product makes claims of "realism", and I think that the liberties taken here are plain daft. Oh, and the AI is In this game, some of the possible military outcomes are very strange.

    A solid entry that makes some great, if initially unapparent, changes to the standard formula. [Feb 2004, p.66]

    I simply can't think of an RTS this good that lets you get this close to your units. When dropped down the ground, the camera reveals lots of fantastic detail on each of the units.

    A great Real Time Strategy from the company behind "Empire Earth," this game will keep you coming back for more.
