Played the demo and seemed to be refreshing with it's lack of resource gathering and rushing. I enjoy RTS games but time and time again it's "Create villager to gather wood/food/gold. Create soldiers in huge quantities and charge the base".
Plus sending squads of massive mech-things stomping into wastelands made me feel like James Cameron without the silly obsession with the ocean.

Bwhahahaha. I was actually pretty good, and had quite a few displayed in the shop wind...........I've said too much.
And now, you big geek, I'm off to play Star Wars Galaxies all day in my pants, possibly stopping to have cereal and watch Star Wars on DVD.
You geek.
Mind you, I still play D&D on occasion...

Yup. I remember them.
I used to collect Warhammer figures. Then I realised I couldn't paint them to save my life and gave up. It was real geeky though, the freakish store guy pounced on us every time we went in - and was somehow on first name terms with us, even though we didn't give our names :S
This game is looking rather good though. Reckon I'll give it a try. Gonna check out the Chaos Theory beta I downloaded last night first though.
