Sid´s still the master
Except for some minor graphical glitches, (the sync between troops fighting in some grounds for example) the game looks awesome, with the option of even see the whole town and its building, or the details on each unit. The music sounds good, varying while the civilizations evolves, and the SFX of the units are a great addition to the ambient and custom of each empire. The game-play stays the best ever, with some natural additions, religion being the best yet.
What really got me this time was the mods capability and the open editing. I´ve seen of everything on the net, from remake of classics to brand-new games, reminding Warcraft III and Quake modding.
Overall, I think I´m gonna stay with this game forever, and I seriously would recommend it to any friend of mine.
