The graphics look like real life detailed models/figurines pasted over a rendered background. Not saying that it's bad, though. Looks neat.

whoa! nice game man...

I played an earlier version of this game a few times. I liked it. I'll have to give it a go when it comes out.

Not sure what you call these kinds of games, but I like them. (empire earth, age of mythology, age of empires, battle for middle earth,...what do you call these kinds of games?)

these types of games are called RTS games ( RTS = real time strategy )

...

anyway, here're some more screenshots:

Never really been and RTS fan, find them usually boring, maybe the starwars universe would be enough to get me interested. I'll have to give it a try.

nice pics, the graphics do look pretty good for a "RTS". Most of them don't have as nice of graphics because there's alot of stuff goin on. But it looks like you get to do neet stuff.

SaberZ · Jan 29, 2005, 03:52 PM

Graphics look great, just wonder how many people will be able to run it looking that good

.

Wish I was good at RTS games, I would pick it up, but since I suck and get owned within a few minutes online I tend to stay away from.

Red_Death · Jan 30, 2005, 04:25 AM

I just playe Empire Earth and got owned tonight. I'm out of practice on that one.

technonerd · Jan 30, 2005, 04:52 AM
