The Republic of Heaven

I'm guessing that no sraffies play this game as it's pretty daunting. I watch a lot of the competitive stuff online and I find it really entertaining. I recommend checking out some tournaments if you see them. It can be a really fun chess game once you get to know some of the characters, units and tactics. E-Sports is experiencing a really nice boom at the moment. Starcraft 2, Street Fighter 4, Halo Reach, Mortal Kombat, CoD etc. Hopefully the scene can continue.

I play a good bit online too. I'm terrible but when you lose it's your fault.

It's essentially an old school rts game ala command and conquer.

I had love affair with the original plus Brood War. It was the story I enjoyed. While I found the story of Starcraft 2 somewhat underwhelming I am certainly going to buy Heart of the Swarm regardless.

I don't generally play RTS online as they are considerably more stressful than other games.
