Hey. I've been looking for this game any time I was in a best buy or gamestop. It always seemed cool but I never found it until yesterday.

So anyone play this? Is their online system still up? I dont know if it is up or if it I need to open ports. Is the single player story decent?

    It's absolutely incredible. I don't know about the online, haven't played it in a while, but it's a great RTS. The story kinda blows, but the units... the freaking units... They are incredible.

    This is one of my favorite RTSs. I usually just played LAN or compstomp, but even there, it is so good. It's just got a certain charm.

    I heard this was a huge letdown after the unadulterated GLORY that was Rise of Nations.

    Where is my Rise of Nations CD? I have...the urge.

    Yeah, I picked this game up a year ago and had a blast with it at some lan parties. Though many people compare it to RoN, I personally think it's a whole other beast. I love the three races in this game. Also, this game really tries to streamline gameplay in unique ways. Because of this, I think the learning curve is a little higher than most RTS games, but not too high. I actually wish BHG would make a sequel to this before they make one for RoN.

    They got eaten by 38 Studios, so that will be a long ways off.

    I only played the first 2 levels so far. But it is good. Will be going through it some more later. Had to go to some random forum to get the patches though.

    Steampunk Italy vs Arabian Sorcerers vs an entity legally distinct from anything you may have seen in Stargate yes our staves fire laser bursts i don't see how that is relevant

    I'll take this unit composition over RoN any day of the week.

    I loved it, but it's been about 4 years since I last played it - I haven't seen it with all the bells-and-whistles going.

    The econ / borders aspects of the game were brilliant.
