May 12, 200619 yr I'm not a big fan of RTS games. Even though I'd love to have a good fantasy battle game, I'm going to pass on this one. Let's hope we get an RPG eventually.

May 12, 200619 yr Why does everyone keep calling this an RTS? This isn't anything like a standard RTS. Was Myth an RTS? Is the combat aspect of Total War games an RTS? It really needs a different acronym.
