Brian Reynolds new game. I know, i know, it is real-time, but it seems kind of civ-esque! (and it can't be worse than civ3)

Age of Empires clone.
Did you people read the review? There are a few differences that make it seem like it will NOT just be an Age of Empires or Empire Earth clone. It actually looks very promising, IMO. . .-connorkimbro

Riiiight....
Just like Civ3 is "radically different" from Civs 1 & 2. Yeh adding "culture radius" and stripping the tech tree... wow totally different.
When software companies start making claims that their game is not like some other game, you know its gonna be a clone. Originality has become a rare commodity in today's gaming world."Christ died for our sins. Dare we make his martyrdom meaningless by not committing them?"

Nobody from BHG, nor the author of that preview, ever made that claim or even MENTIONED any other RTS.
If you just want to gripe, than by all means, continue unhindered, but if not, then you really should read the article.-connorkimbro

Definetly looks like a clone.
There are some decent stuff, but nothing to make me buy it. I despise RTS and this won't make me change my mind.
JEEZ, it even looks like AoK!

And the thing to save us from Civ3 was SimGolf... I recommend you play it!“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Real time isn't bad, Imran. I suggest giving some Blizzard games a try before writing off the genera completely.I despise RTS and this won't make me change my mind.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

If Brian can find a way to combine rts with tbs that would be very good.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

I've tried Starcraft.
Like the story, didn't like the game. Though it was better than any RTS I've ever played before (and Warcraft II sucked ass).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

The thing that bothered me the most about RTS games so much was it was a constant scramble for resources, and this seems to be curtailed rather well in this game. The second thing was it was always a unit rush type thing. Sure, some units countered others, but as long as you built the units in the right perportions and had them mixed well, you could still send in a mass group, and they'd do well enough. This game does NOT seem to be all about warfare, but that there are actual viable alternatives to war. (i don't mean the "alternative" in AoE, build wonders and then, defend them from a military attack. yeah right.)
So, i'm slightly more optomistic about this game. . .-connorkimbro

I like cossacks
RTS games can be improved, though there are limits. I love cossacks, since it allows for much better tactical control with inbuilt formation commands and so forth. I have a little faith that something new can come of this.If you don't like reality, change it! me
