Sorry my money is going with Warhammer: Dawn of War. This game looks like a snooze fest with outdated graphics. |
| Pretty slick actually |

I played the PC demo on a computer at work, and it's quite enjoyable (as well as laid back for those who enjoy such). It is straight U-Go, I-Go movement, and there is no random element in the combat. The base unit has an attack strength of 1, so it does 1 point of damage to enemy units. Defense strength is how many points of damage you can take. Units can't be repaired either.
There are more powerful units, as well as ranged units (mortars, rockets, artillery, and bombers).
The strategy comes in planning your shots to maximize kills, and positioning your units properly. And, in deciding which units to purchase with your limited funds, and whether to save money to buy a bigger unit next turn. |

The standalone expansion Massive Assault: Phantom Renaissance has an 'RTS' style online playmode. |

If you enjoy the strategy of a chess game, you'll more than enjoy Massive Assault. |

I can't imagine that this game is more fun than a good old RTS (like Total Annihilation). I'd have to play a demo and see what it's like before even thinking about buying it. |
| Turn base... |

I on the other hand, am a sucker for turn based games. Real time is fun, and so are turn based games (in my opinion). It's nice to play relaxed sometimes. Will have to look into this game.
Have fun !

Otherwise I'd buy it....who wants to play a game where there is no real time battles....count me out. Although the graphics are VERY impressive |

It is not clear from the website where a person can find or order Massive Assault here in the US. The U.K. site lists the PC product the Mac link does not have order information that I could tell. |

Wow! This is great news, but the 600Mhz G3 requirement is a bit misleading as you still need a 32MB Video Card to play the game according to Freeverse's website:

People with older iMacs probably won't be able to play this despite having the required processor.
All in all, this looks like an interesting RTS for the Mac library. |
