I’ve played a couple of the missions now. I’d go along with everything TigerQuoll said. It is incredibly slow paced and the game is in desperate need of a speed option like all the other RTS games at the time had. What really irks me about this is that this is already built into the game but you have to use the cheat option to be able to set the speed. How can speeding up the game possibly be a cheat? I could literally read a book or watch a movie while playing most of that second level. I gather that the 10th anniversary edition introduced a speed key so Blue Byte eventually came around to this idea at least. I’m wishing I’d started with that version now.

It’s technically nice with lots going on and has very pretty graphics anyway. I can see why people would like it but it’s probably not quite my scene. It does feel like more of a side distraction than something that demands your full attention in it’s original version. Maybe that’s the way everyone played it back in the 90’s?
