Free to play RTS. Anybody tried it? Link.
I tried it when it was in open beta, and frankly I didn’t like it much. It’s very casual, which may not always be a bad thing, but when it comes to strategy it’s hard to feel that you can achieve all that much in a five-minute mission on a tiny map with a single route to the enemy. Besides, it didn’t feel like there was any real progression in the city hub either. A dozen missions in I would still only have access to basic clubmen and spearmen and a handful of buildings, and the enemy were all the same.
I still do LAN parties with Age of Empires II: the Age of Kings, but this has caught my eye. I’m wondering how it compares…
