---{Further Notes}---
Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption is one of my favourite games of all time, and now, thanks to Petroglyph, the online multiplayer is available once again!

There are some annoyances, such as auto resolves being based on the fleet size, not the quality of the fleet.

And the er, interesting ship geometry, it's not uncommon to see ships phasing through each other, in what really should be a catastrophic collision.

Is this game worth it? I think so.
