I never heard of this game coming out until recently when it was reviewed on Gamespot. I was just wondering how it compared to other RTS, like Starcraft, COH, and any other games. Is it worth getting? because it looks like fun.

My best advice is to not characterize it as RTS or 4x. Plainly put its a hybrid of BOTH. It doesnt maximize on the 4x theory, and it doesnt appeaze the taste of hardcore RTS. It's meant to be different, new. I love it.

Its much slower paced than either of those games. If you have an attention span that can handle it, this game blows the others out of the water IMO.

It playes a great deal like a slow paced Supreme Commander in space, with a bit of Homeworld and some very light 4X elements thrown in. It's got a steep learning curve, especially if your background is solely in RTS games.

so basically, it's more based on strategy of building and resource gathering? or are battles strategic as well?
