i was battling with buying EE or RoN, but enough people slammed EE to
convince me to
buy RoN. I definitely agree with a lot of your issues for the game. But
overall i'm impressed.
i'm still a fan of SWGB and still think thats the best RTS game out there,
AOE's engine is what
made all this great. next i'm trying out Blitzkrieg, looks really
promising.
