This is a pretty good RTS, but despite it's pretty visuals and new mechanics it doesn't seem to feel like the true successor to one of the best RTS games... For one, it feels much too easy compared to the first one. The AI can be easily conquered in maybe an hour or two. Don't get me wrong, it still makes a good game. The territories are an interesting new idea, tech points make researching more friendly, and battles look a lot more lively with the better graphics. Overall, if you want a decent RTS game, pick this up. If you want a GREAT RTS game, pick up EE1.
