I have a game suggestion for you: Achron (NOT "Archon"), an RTS that heavily focuses on time travel. Not just time travel in the backstory and lore and such, but in *actual matches.* Oh, did I mention that this is a *multiplayer* game that you can (and should) play against *real humans*? I'd recommend checking out the TV Tropes page for it for a proper explanation of how the whole thing works, since it explains it much better than I can. You can do things like make a scout unit, order it to go into the enemy base, skip ahead one minute into the future to see what it finds, then go back to the present and cancel the order, or go back in time and build units to prepare (postpare?) for an attack that's currently happening in the present. IIRC, stuff four minutes before the present becomes finalized/set in stone, and you can only skip/jump up to one minute after the present. Here, have some videos (the first one comes from a demo of the game, and the pathfinding issue mentioned in the second one has been fixed): kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYW5pIuYjLaLppI kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJq5d4iXq5yfpLc Okay, this will be the third and last time that I repost this, since I don't want to be one of those guys that constantly spams the same request at you. Hopefully you'll see this, since this is the second to top reply to your post.

Mentioning the game being a war of attrition reminds me of my all time favorite MP game ever. I picked camouflage and pathfinding in a map. The game locked out before ww2 so no nukes and limited air power. My opponent quickly overwhelmed my bases, but my units had one advantage. They could walk through forests and turn invisible. What began was the Vietnam War as my enemy couldn't find my units, and I couldn't kill enough of his. It was just me having sharpshooters sitting beyond the treeline until one of his patrols autoexploring the map would happen by. Kill a few, run away. He eventually built the wonder that lets him see all buildings, which forced me to adopt a system of building a base, getting as much resources as possible, then running away before he could respond. It was great. I don't think any other RTS game had such organic, asymmetrical possibilities that would just emerge out of a little creativity.

Thanks for the story! It totally triggered a 15+ year old memory! I had a similar situation in the 'sequel', Empires: Dawn of the Modern World. Me and a classmate were playing 1v1, and I was dominating him a fair bit. However, we played on the largest map, and he was China, who had mobile bases. We ended up having an hours long game of cat and mouse, where he just kept on relocating some of his bases to another corner to stay alive and rebuild in secret. We were sitting on computers in adjoining rooms, with a few meters in between, and a door. It ended up with us half playing, and half having a struggle between him body blocking his screen while I was trying to sneak a peek by opening the door and peeking out as sneakily as possible. Much of his time was spent forcing the door shut, so I couldn't screen cheat and finally finish off the game. Man, good times

You were allowed to physically do anything to the other player, short of bodily harm, computer harm, or shutting off power. This resulting in dividing attention between playing, throwing stuff at the other player, grabbing their mouse hand, blocking their view of the monitor, and in some heated case a wrestling match.

Similar thing happened to me in supcom 2 on the big desert map (3 player ffa). Lost my base 40 minutes in, proceeded to turn into a guerrilla fighting force that wound up building silo's in the canyons to overwhelm the one players nuke defenses with about 200 nukes. I'd build an experimental factory, create a unit and load it into a transport as the enemy nukes/ artillery/ airforce wiped out the base behind it. I survived by building all over, all at once, and also nowhere. In the end I knocked off the second player (he killed the third after my nukes decimated their base) by dropping 10 experimentals on his commander. Game took 2 hours and I was shaking when it finished.

Mission starts, pause, que up a ton of units. You've got a lot of buildings and thousands of every resource, so don't skimp out. As soon as you've got a few tanks, a siege gun or two, and a couple anti-air , go kill green. As in they should be dead in the first 5ish minutes of the game; you don't need a lot, they're two eras behind you. Once they're dead, add the units that were building in the meantime to your army and hug the bottom of the map all the way west, up to orange's farms, then up towards their capital. You just walked around all their cities and they die as soon as it goes down, should be done around 10-15 minutes in. Then voila, half your enemies gone, you've got cybers, plenty of space, and can leisurely build up to kill purple. Yellow rarely, if ever, attacks, purple's easy to handle alone, and Britain's attacks are rare enough to not be a big deal. Victory. Oh, and get those two port towns for the victory points and population, but don't worry about defending them. They're only good for fighting that harbor-clogging fleet, and there's no reason to do so at all.

What I did in this mission was to move instantly after the start with all units west. There in the corner i destroyed the small base and used the infinite stone to build some solid defence. From that point, you can slowly advance.

Having played a lot in multiplayer back when the official servers were still running, I disagree about the music being unmemorable and dull. Shadows & Enmity are the two tracks that always come to mind when thinking about this game, even years after I played it last time. They're not as in your face or epic as the main theme (which is admittedly awesome), but there are many tracks that are great at building tension and atmosphere: Honor, Rivers, Time, Balance of Power.

I still remember how I used to play multiplayer, and you could store units in a fortress building. This would make the pop go down so you could make more units and store them in fortresses in sort of an infinite loop. Me and a mate played together and focused on defence while just stacking looads of units. Then after we had enough we emptied out those fortresses and just curb stomped every other player XD

I'm sure you're not. These things occur because studios purchased batches of pre-recorded music in order to fill in certain areas. This could have been due to time constraints, cost savings or whatever. Lots of triggers that you hear in HoMM3 (like the new month one) can be heard in South Park from at least the 6th season to the 9th. I'm always blaming myself for not marking these down with timestamps and all. Swear on my cross Heroes 4 has common musical elements with Stronghold: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2bZdoukjLaCfpI - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGfSpYt6ibhjgbc The singer's timbre is really close. It was all mixing and editing. I'm pretty sure they bought it in batches and mixed and re-recorded as needed.

I remember in the editor you could boost a unit stat as much as you want, i remember making a slinger one shotting people across the map, and the planes! If you boosted their speed to stupid levels they would start acting wierd, flying up and down really fast or just gliding across the ground. Make alot of planes and set their speeds differently and you have a mayhem of retarded planes goofing around. And I could never finish any campaign, it was just too hard

I can give you a somewhat long explanation. First off all the campaigns were removed in favor or a conquer the world map. there were only 5 ages instead of 15 for EE 1. You had: Ancient (think iron age from age of empires), medieval, nepolianic or industrial, modern, and the future. There were only 3 civilizations to choose from, but at least they were vastly different. West had big strong costly units, east swarmed you with heaps of weak units and east was really mobile.. I think. I can't really remember. The units also had awful voicelines. They were awful jokes that you would hear over and over until you wanted to bash your head in. For example the attack heli's in the modern age would say "Take a picture why don't ya? It will last longer!" in a really condescending voice that sounded like they were saying it to you. And then lastly it just got bonkers by the end era's. The east got these biological engineered abominations that looked like they came from half life 2. They could spawn zombies. The game was advertised as historically accurate >:I and lastly to top it all off the soundtrack sucked. nothing memorable at all. The main theme was the same part of a tune nearly the whole way through.
