RTS fans, please do yourselves the treat of playing this demo this weekend... It is incredible! But don't take my word for it, try it!

AOE2 was my favorite RTS game until I tried this, let me know what you think!

[adamvjackson]

Yes, pry yourself away from Generals for a few hours so that you can try this.

I happen to play alot of Medieval:Total War. It get really addicting.

[Mr.Guvernment]

played it

must say it is great - the only part i hate that MS seem to like doing is putting limits a MAX limit of how many units you can create - a maximum population - i can uinderstand for early in the game, but later one when u have researched all advances just let me make what i want darn it!

other wise addicting - finished it - world conquer as the birtish, now i got to buy the game to play online - is worth ot..lol (yes i could not wait to buy it so i grabbed an "extended" free trial..lol

Wow, that's horrible, it's a complete rip-off of Empire Earth.

[Mr.Guvernment]

and Age of empires

to me all these games are the same

Gather resouces / reseach things / overwelmingly over take the enemie with a massive army - the end!

but it is til fun to play

frankly this game is NOTHING comapred to civilization II or III - they are still my favorite :D, think i may go install Civ III
