I bought this game as soon as I saw it was on Steam. I spent many hours of my childhood trudging through the campaign, it was hard for me as a wee lad. But I loved every second of it. This game will always stand as a testiment to old Real Time Strategy games and their hold on me in my formative years. It's just as good as I remember it being, though now it's very dated. New RTS games have a lot more glitz and glamour, but this one has it's roots firmly planted. What blows my mind to this day is that it's one of the only games (certainly that I've ever heard of) that's put out an expansion pack 13, 15 and 16 years after the game had been put out (Forgotten, African Kingdoms and Rise of Rajas respectively)! With thousands of hours of replayability, this game can be played a hundred different ways. The newest 3 expansions even have different win conditions in some fo the missions! If you ever liked the genre, were a child in the early 90's or just want to study how games used to be, this game is for you. Teal is bad.
