After that, I STILL wanted to keep playing the game so I am now trying to learn how to play Skirmish games to (eventually) get good enough to dive into PvP.

- mixed new voice acting: love Norse and Japanese, Atlantean is ok but Greek, Egyptian and Chinese (in campaign) were big misses for me

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
It's a classic RTS where you build a base, manage your unit construction, building, and battles, and is co-op friendly.
