My favorite thing about this game is either the spherical battlefields or the Shared Army feature. Spherical battlefields gives you lots of options for attacking. With good scouting, you can almost always find a weak point in their base, or some undefended fabbers or metal extractors somewhere. Shared Army is an option you can turn on in team games. It makes your entire team share command of all units and economy. Basically it's like you are all part of a single army, as opposed to traditional multiplayer where you are all separate armies but allied. Shared Army really forces you to work together. If one person is playing poorly and taxing your economy, it hurts everyone. So you have to communicate until everyone is on the same page. If you're good you will each choose complimentary roles, like "Production", "Metal acquisition", "Commanding the army", "Expanding to other planets", etc.

Play this game for a more complex, less constricted RTS. And don't worry about any of that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you have to deal with in Starcraft 2. "Production rounds"? Dear god. In PA, tell your factory you want it to produce two tanks and one inferno, and set it to infinite loop, and it will produce units until it is destroyed or you win.

My favorite line from this game: "This system is now under your control, Commander" after winning a game. Awesome.
