I just went to Target in early June with some giftcards and, as usual, went to look at computer games. I just saw "real-time stratagy" and "unrivalled scale" and decided to get it even though I've never even heard of it previously.
When I took it home Age of Empires, Empire at War, CivIV, and Sim city went on the shelf and havn't been played in months. I've been playing religiously for months now it it never gets old.
Hats off to Ironclad and stardock.
