Played this when I was younger. if you have a windows os after xp you need to put it in compatability mode or run the compatability troubleshooter. You will still have some random glitches on the more demanding levels but its reduces their number significantly and smoothes out the gameplay.

As for the game itself its a gem that never got the acclaim it should have. Great story, great gameplay with many new ideas for its time including your choices changed the story and adding upkeep in order to maintain an army just like you would have to in real life.

If your a fan of rts games this one is a must try just remember to fix the compatability issues before running the game and remember your troops will still glitch but if the compatability settings are right it will cause minimal problems.

Agreed and I'm sure it was the same level that I started using cheats for the game as well. I think it really should have been given more credit. Yes it had some bugs yes there were a few levels that were very slow to beat and frustrating, but its an instant classic. I still play it and have the original cd where as age of empires I sold and stopped playing for quite some time. The campaign is so much better for this game much more interactive which set the stage for later games. Its unfortunate the only sequel ever made was by a different company and not anywhere near as good.

I absolutely loved this game when it came out, hard to believe that it got picked up by Steam so many years later after it had faded into obscurity.

The concept of choosing a path rather than deciding on a set faction really intrigued me, and the 3D environment was captivating whay back when all we were used to was Age-of-Empires style isometric viewpoints.

I could never get past a mission on the Renaissance campaign, however, it's design was just too clunky and it was almost impossible to complete without cheats. But apart from that, it's a thoroughly entertaining campaign.
