Classic defense. Doesn't add up anywhere though, as always.
Strategy games are a niche genre in which having good graphics should be secondary. Giving too much attention to graphics actually can hinder the strategy game because the whole point of a strategy game is to be able to think thoroughly your next move (and also your next dozen moves if possible) to do the best possible action which lead to the best possible outcome. Taking time to think and being able to have the best grasp of the situation as a whole is a hundred fold more important than being able to see if your soldier didn't polish his boots this morning. And while I don't disagree with the point of having all of that at once would be wonderful, the fact that it never happen or that you need one of Nasa computer to run the game because of it doesn't add up.
Most strategy games nowaday don't understand that and it is clearly why the strategy genre have been neglected so much. As long as "modern strategy gamers" ask for graphics over gameplay for strategy games then there will be no good quality strategy game produced. O, with a bar inside it.
