It's the best Star Wars RTS ever to exist (if we count FoC just as an add-on). It plays smoothly, feels like the reflection of the Star Wars universe from the time, and is really fun to play.
Units and locations from the expanded universe, really pleasant for the time visuals, lots and lots of mechanics with different modes of conquest. The combination of Space battles, Ground battles, and their mutual attachment to each other with "landing" mechanics makes it for much more deep and interesting global conquest experiences than just classic CNC-like RTS with base building and campaign.
The main problem is that there is not enough content. Factions, mechanics, and units are fun and there is a lot of stuff, but it feels more like a frame for something even bigger and full, and this "bigger" will come...

Great RTS game, it is really fun with extremely exiciting space battles
Real good RTS and also Star Wars.
The only good Star Wars strategy game. This is basically Total War: Star Wars, with a grand campaign map, multiplayer, real time space and real time land battles. It's criminal that EA had the exclusive Star Wars license for so many years and never even tried to make an Empire at War 2. Sega - either CA or Relic - should get a chance to make a sequel to this game with as much Star Wars content as is being released since Disney bought it.
Eu gosto tanto desse jogo que eu tenho a versão em CD, mas acabei comprando a Gold Pack na Steam só pela expansão e também para poder usar os mods e jogar o online com algumas alterações para melhorar o gameplay.
Great RTS game, played it when i was a kid...
Fight the rebel scum! Join the Empire now!
Lot of nostalgia for this game, but as I've aged I don't enjoy it as much. I hate, hate, HATE the unit cap on ground battles as it acts as a hard cap to how well you can do. The space units are not as microable as I would like, coming from WC3, SCBW, or AOEII. But this is still the best Star Wars RTS and the modes and content are peak.
God I LOVE this game
