think of it as an interactive Norman Friedman book, or a Jackie Fisher simulator.

single A gaming at its peak. spreadsheet style interface does not take away from fascinating emergent narratives, or the ability to test any conceivable twentieth century warship configuration in combat.

this is a game for people with situational awareness and reaction time. That means it isn't for people like us.

those who ♥♥♥♥-talk this game ought to be impaled on a sarissa

Mussolini probably would have enjoyed this. RIP Il Duce.

congreve rockets need a buff.

Let's be xenophobic! It's really in this year
Let's find a nasty, slimy, ugly alien to fear
There's no more cutesy stories 'bout E.T. phoning home
Let's learn to love our neighbors,
Like the Christians learned in Rome!
We know we ought to hate 'em; they're different, you see
We've seen they're mean and ugly on movies and TV
The folks that ought to know have told us how it's got to be
The gospel truth is found in scenes from Alien and V
Let's wipe out any lifeform that seems to be a threat
We'll serve 'em up a genocide they never will forget
'Cause if we miss a couple, they'll breed a couple more!
And soon we'll all be hating twice as many as before
You see, aliens can never be as good as humankind
A more delightful race than us you'll never, ever find
So step aside, you star slime, we're ready for your worst!
We know you want to beat us, enslave us and defeat us,
Oppress us and browbeat us, unless we get you first!

i like big frigates and i cannot lie. 9/10, could use more naval customization options.

10/10 Disney villain simulator. Would marry off daughter to 50 year old King of Burgundy for military alliance again.

Would spend 1000 hours refitting Queen Elizabeth and Revenge class battleships with modern radar, fire control, and DP secondary/aa batteries again.

A pleasant nostalgia trip when unmodded, possibly the most enjoyable RTS for older computers today when using Corey's phenomenal Thrawn's Revenge total overhaul. TR exceeded my expectations for a Petroglyph sequel, let alone a fan project from a few Canadians. 9.8/10.
