What players say
Players praise the classic RTS gameplay and steady updates, but many are frustrated by frequent patches that break the game, severe multiplayer lag, and a lack of cross-platform support for the Mac version. Reviews also report that single-player anti-cheat software falsely flags legitimate programs, and lengthy lists of civilizations feel like quantity over quality.
