What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Compared to the main RTS games of its day like Command and Conquer (The developers, Petroglyph, were former Westwood employees) the game is somewhat simplistic and small scale, with max unit limits, no tactical base building and active resource gathering, and a fairly strict rock-paper-scissors approach to gameplay.
The Imperial Campaign is definitely the easiest, and a great entry point to get you started.
When I returned to mods, I began to copy the textures/models/files from various characters or units that I liked and started putting them into my reworked version.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 4 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
