I've only played this in solo (campaign, history & skirmish modes) and can recommend it for those like me who arent that great with w/ fast-clickfest pvp matches. It has the active pause where you can issue and string commands when the game is paused. My nitpicks are the units are tiny (sure it's to scale but it would be nice if it was bigger when zoomed out to appreciate the unit models and become more scale when zooming in). Another bad is the replays saved almost never save completely or out of sync when going back to review. I also wished the the key C (for line-of-sight range view would at least show the unit's firing range-limit).

Despite these, I liked it enough to buy the DLC that has the historical missions to extend my playtime.
