I got it from the Indie Bundle I admit I havent felt like learning a new game. I played a demo a while back but is it easy to pick up? I guess I will try sometime soon but I often end up playing another game.

I tried the demo ages ago and I wanted to love, nigh, adore the game but it just wouldn't allow me with its learning cliff and joke of a tutorial.

There are awesome tutorials online, and some good youtube videos.

Its not that hard to pick up, and well worth a small amount of time to get your head around it.

The following pages have heaps of information to help you out. Should be all you need.

The main forum:
http://www.positech.co.uk/forums/phpBB3 ... m.php?f=20

Is full of regular players, and they it has a very friendly and helpful community.
The developer/creator of the game also actively posts to help people out.

There is also a .pdf manual that comes with the game that not many people know about. Which is extremely helpful.

Creator has added in some controllable RTS elements (optional) for those who want more control during the battle.
