I'm sure that will look pretty cool.Someone else mentioned that it uses the Generals engine.  This is the reason I was so excited about getting the game.  To me, the fantasy units don't look as cool rendered here as the modern units in Generals.I'll keep playing and see how it shapes up.</blockquote>
