>>40511436It's the first time I played it despite having the game gifted to me years ago, so I really don't know how to compare them to the past. I only picked it up because I was nostalgiafagging Fall From Heaven 2 and wasn't sure if the down links are still alive.
As for the game itself, they have surprisingly have plenty of variety and opportunities to mix and match. There are enough faction-specific variations of units (like the amazon flame troopers use bows instead of flamethrowers) to make your customization choices matter, although some combinations are more synergistic than others. I think it's very fun, and I did enjoy the ability for commanders to ride mounts or vehicles, I just wish they had more unique models for every combination. (Come on, corroded toxic robots is a missed opportunity here.)
Yeah, try picking it up again. Empire mode compels you to keep playing and gives you a sense of continuity between games.
