The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A deliberate, tactical medieval strategy game where you balance resource management with fortress defense and siege warfare.

What players say
Players say this is the definitive version of an RTS classic, adding modern conveniences like auto buy/sell and new units without losing the original feel. The new co-op campaigns and AI lords are widely praised, though some note pathfinding problems and performance slowdowns with large armies.
