this game is the most beautiful game i've ever played.  the detail of the units, the sounds, the graphics are very well done.  not to mention the fun factor of playing against online players.  this game encourages you to think on your feet and develop different strategies to annihilate your opponent.  of all the games out there, i would suggest this game.  get the expansion set, too.  its a must have for playing with even more units with different skills.
