Decent game back when it used to work. Returned and tried firewall/AV settings, running as admin, reinstalling, resetting net adapter, but no matter what i do the campaign battlefield and skirmish launch buttons are greyed out, with no map appearing to choose launch location.

In other words, unplayable, and now too many hrs to refund. Wasn't incredible but was good fun given how few old school style RTS games are around.

Download and donate to Beyond All Reason instead, MUCH better game if you like Total Annihilation or Supreme Commander style RTS.

Overall a decent RTS game the campaign is fun going through all the different factions and becoming familiar with their unique styles of play. The game does feel a bit slower than games like Age of Empires II or Supreme Commander. The factions are do feel a bit too restrictive with the Beta being the exception. I wouldn't recommend this game to beginners just because the slower gameplay requires a bit more deliberate actions to be taken in order for you to not fall too behind in the battles.
