Hell yeah, great game, I love the different levels of aggressiveness you could set on units, or the different orders you could have them carry out, stuff like "Scout" or "Search and Destroy" or the commands that had made them run from enemies but still shoot their turrets at them, so ahead of its time.

Yeah, I loved this game too.

I believe it was the 1st RTS that had an auto explore option for units. Although the a.i. was iffy for this option, it was a nice feature.

Great game with unit balance being its only downfall.
