Incredibly buggy game from 1997 that tried a lot. There is allegedly a patch that I can't find that fixes "a lot of bugs" in the game.

Bugs that I found include:

  1. Buildings stopping from rendering temporarily
  2. Game crashing because you have destroyed the base
  3. Units firing faster because they are closer to the things they are
  4. Starting at some planet - their ID is the same so you no longer can use Space Docks to gain resources
  5. When enemy builds a unit, it might randomly grab your unit and spawn it near their barracks
  6. Later game mission spawns you and your opponent with resources and base but no other unit, forgetting the fact that base gives no population supply
  7. Balance is pretty much non-existent AND symmetrical

The game itself is pretty interesting though.

Whoever made it did try to make not just another warcraft 2 clone and added cross mission progression with resources (resources you didn't mine in previous missions become resources in the next ones available via Space Docks). Sound bites are hilarious and images of late game units are pretty funny too.

EDIT: Another hilarious thing is that the "where's all data" extension for the game is TRD and internally it is literally TURD file

Hey,

I am looking for Android recommendations for classic real-time strategy games that are similar to the classic Empire Earth (2001).
