Baa Ram Ewe. My tummy feels funny. That tickles! I've got a flying machine! Oh man, I can hear all of it in my head right now. This game was so much fun, such awesome fun, and it remains my favourite RTS purely down to that. Pure fun. None of this need for anything else that detracts from fun. Easily editable maps that you can easily edit fun things into to make maps more fun than they already were. If you haven't played a map literally full of nothing but sheep and your respective armies, you are missing out.

Do I need to say much more about this game other than that it's the most fun RTS ever? It's perfectly balanced, I suppose, too. Which adds to the fun. The things the characters say, the upgrade/research systems, the critters (did I mention the sheep?), the colourful and simple yet effective graphics. The actually-worth-it naval units. The fun. THE FUUUUN.
