The game was very well done. I'm deeply hate playing most rts games online due to the fact that you can mass rush some one with one type of troop. C&C was horrible with this as to where ive never played it online. I'm glad to see some company has enough balls to make a good rts that you can't finish in 10 minutes by building the cheapest ships/troops possible and rushing some one. After i played for about 30 minutes i tried different strategies that I have before by trying to take as much land as I possibly could and thats not something you can do which is awesome i came to find myself broke after taking a volcanic planet and a ice planet due to the fact that my taxes were costing me money to have them. I love the game its well setup so that it actually takes thought into what your doing and its not just another mindless rts game like everything else. I wish i didn't have to go to work so I could of stayed home and learned more of the tech tree and such. I do have 2 question can u raise your taxes and whee can i download the pdf manual/tech tree Thanks Great game.
