I just got this game the other day, and I really love the realistic RTS gameplay of this game, slow mitotical combat, it's awesome it absolutely is, I can't even find any games similar to this.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
the first match started great. the graphics arent really that bad man. looks a lot better than modded TW 1. the running animations and explosion effects are straight up top notch. the ais kinda dumb as ♥♥♥♥. they try to shoot at everything u dont want them to and nothing that u do, like the tanks do a reverse move for like a mile and theres no way to tell them not to. it sucks, however it crashed lol the second match didnt but what sucks is u have to unlock the maps and it crashes so save a lot.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The interface, while improved over earlier entries, remains complex and occasionally cumbersome, reflecting a design philosophy that prioritizes control depth over ease of use.
