The top of the pantheon of real time strategy, the game abandons one of the fundaments of the genre - terrain, topography, obstacles, chockepoints and defensible positions - and yet creates one of the most in-depth strategy games ever made. Faction advantadges and special units are abandoned, and instead players are only differentiated by tactical skill and micromanagement. There is nothing to hide behind, the most skilled commander wins.

Unforgetable campaign and haunting OST, the emptiness of the maps complemented it perfectly. The slow pace of the in betweens highlighting the lonely feeling in such a vast space, punctuated between high-pressure combat where a single mistakes sinks the fleet.

It is the most beautiful rts ever made.
