A very good game, but can't help thinking it could've been so much more.

I think my expectations for this game were very very high. It plays like most other RTS games out there with some brilliant graphics and addictive gameplay. However, the "rise of nations" portion of the previous game has been much simplified. Resource management has been toned down as well as research and tech options. Also, multiplayer options have been cut also somewhat, though that could be easily added in a future patch. I really like the on-line record tracking system also.

The three sides balance quite well, and have very fun and unique units to slug it out. The Vinci are technological, land power. The Alin are magical and strong air power, the Cuotl resemble the aztecs but with space lasers and shields.

I kind of expected this game to be revolutionary because of BIG HUGE's track record. While i definately enjoy playing it and will continue to play it, can't help but think they could have innovated more.

Have to say the game does require some hefty hardware to run at good levels. Especialy in a large map with 4+ players, it gets realy laggy on mainstream vid cards (less than 6800)
