I have no idea what I am watching. Some little dudes crawl around the screen and the narrator won't stop mumbling.

Is this like some super-autistuc, joy-free version of Starcraft?

"Is this like some super-autistuc, joy-free version of Starcraft?"

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.

OH LOOK I HAVE 1000 TINY UNITS LET ME BUILD MORE WITH A BUILDING THAT MAGICALLY PRODUCES THEM

HURR WUHH BLUHH I FORMATIONS? WHATS THAT? DURRRRRRRRRRRRR

This is not the thinking man's RTS. Myth I and Myth II are the only RTS's ive ever played that take actual skill to play. Warcraft is garbage, total war is garbage, total annihilation is garbage, all your favorite stupid tree-chopping oil-drilling gold-mining faggotry will never compare to the beauty and elegance of a lush physics engine with shrapnel flying around taking peoples heads off.

Sir, I disagree with you on a few of the finer points of your screed, but I admire your passion for the subject matter.

Oooh, Myth. I remember on the last level, that guy with the big spear or whatever was chopping through my dwarves and the FINAL dwarf chucked the head at the pit RIGHT before he got cut down -- and it made it in! Crowd goes wild!

Or those bloated zombie things that BLEW UP when you hit them with a couple arrows! KABOOM!

*ahem*

Yes. Truly a thinking man's game.

I'm surprised nobody ripped into me for caring so much.

Cleaner: If you want contrived/awesome game physics maniupulation, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0t3paCm21E&feature=channel_page

At the end, watch the part with the dwarf in the hallway fighting the melee guys by himself.

Also check out my super trow arrow-dodging action.

Is everyone sure they would rather agree with me than rip into me?

Myth was about tactics, Balanced Anihillation is about economics. I like to think RTS is a broad enough church for them both.
