Well when I played it I saw an interesting (if too hard) RTS and never found a bug

I remember that game - cool mix of 4x and rts. You need to constantly research sth to be fast enough for opponent. Also skirmishes were hard after first few. Economy was another important thing – for martians it was based on human blood. Well it was hard and at some points really screw up – some of technology was unbalanced, some of the units were useless etc. Still cool atmosphere – WotW is one of my favorite story :D

Well I didn't find it hard at all...once you realize that you can prevent the enemy from attacking by simply attacking each border zone periodically with the sole objective of destroying any command structure being built, it's simply a matter of upgrading your tech and driving forward in massive waves.

The only game breaker bug I found was, the humans tend to attack with Ironclads even if they cannot reach your base...and will NEVER retreat. So if you don't have any units in the zone that can attack the ship, your only recourse is to self destruct the base and lose the sector.

The solution is simple...don't build bases on coastal zones until you've cleared every adjacent enemy coastal zone of command centers by advancing inland first.

Oh, and I did once see an enemy ironclad try to climb up on land. Amusing, but not a big deal.

I really would love to see this on GOG - even as a beta, it's a fun game.

Well you just replied to someone who I haven't seen around the forum for about a year. In-fact most of those users haven't been here for ages.

...yeah - and you reminded me that this game existed. And that for some reason the Album still scares the crap out of me.
