Spot on! If games are only good if their players slice off insane amount of time to 'train', they'll turn into just about any other 'grind-fest' *cough*mm0*cough*. My best memories of SC1 will always be the engaging story, soundtrack and unit behaviors. Balanced yet friendly.

For SC2, amidst all the mess after broodwar, I cant wait to find out how the finale will turn out to be... (another sequel? arghhh)

To each, his own, right? If you check out what the local cc loungers do to 'abuse' sc here, you'll find out what a turnoff it'll be.

EDIT: Ive actually followed up on Games Workshop news back in the wee days, and I agree that SC does share a lot of similarities with the Warhammer 40,000 universe. In fact, it shouldn't be surprising as most game designers and artists look to other great, existing, titles and work for inspiration on their own. For them to have garnered ideas from such sources, but not to the extent of blatantly copying entire designs, I applaud Blizzard for coming out with such an impressive and resilient title. On it being 'the' trendsetter for the rts genre... I would say its one of a few.

Sorry, my whole edit was a take on SC1.

What about Settlers? What a horrible game, but the peeps are funny

Sorry for veering so far. Settlers is more Caesar than RTS, but SC2 can't go lower than that. ...right?
