C & C Generals is after about 3 years, which is on the market, still the best strategy game. The add-on is even going one better with additional units and improvements in the operation (eg short-cuts on certain skills on the right side of the screen). The graphics are top !! I play it with a GeForce 7800GT with 8x antialiasing and am still thrilled when units explode, or the bikes sweep through the sand. There is simply no alternative, especially if you want to compete online against other players. There are countless tactics and with a good tactic can be long-lost games still bend. So if you is not on fantasy scenarios a la Lord of the Rings and Dawn of War due to the peculiar distribution of resources in function of the number ingested strategic points do not like, is also still not past Generals. For 20 euros you have to just order the basic program and the add-on. My tip: The best start immediately online and save replays. At the beginning you get though neat one on the cap, but can be learned quickly by means of the replays, what you should order in which to build. AND THEN ROCKT`S !!!
