I downloaded it from Fileplanet a few weeks ago when it was released. It's similar to the rest, although you get more Micro-Management than working with a more global scale the previous ones had.

It feels closer to the people. It's quite fun, albiet still feeling a little.. clunky.

I got it installed, and I'm running it now. It was going really freaking slow and looked weird because of my graphics card, but I went to options and turned the shading off and now its running fine. I'm getting a new computer in a few months, so I'll be able to test out all the graphics then. So far I've built a house and now I'm getting wood. Looks cool so far.

Good:


Bad:


Thats all I've got so far...

Only played it briefly. Had to turn shading and shadows off. I haven't played it in much detail - literally (1024x768) so I can't comment yet. Looks like AOM really.

Sure everybody loves the AOE series but this looks sweeter

Ooooooooooooooo, never knew it looked THAT good. Unfortunately for moi, 325mb on 56k is a bit of a joke.

What the heck is that from MC?
Personally I find Dawn of War quite gorgeous to look at, and not even close to as demanding on the system as AoE III.
It's also far more playable imo... that said it's a different market, more aimed at the C&C market than AOE/Civilization markets.

Also found DoW is really what the hell C&C Generals should've been.
Not to say Generals was a bad game, but I never felt the need to play it all the way through. Unlike DoW where I have to literally tear myself away or clear my schedual for a day. ^_^

I can just about play it reasonably on my FX 5200, although I've give anything for the fillrate of the ultra edition. That was at the default settings.

Getting something like 20fps according to Fraps. When I switched off shaders it looks very boring... but got a nice steady 60fps heh

Of course this said my other machine runs it nicely, or it did until I updated to Windows 2003 again. Now it doesn't want to run.
