Has anyone else out there checked out this game? I tend not to like the micromanagement of most RTSes, as to me it seems it takes the "strategy" element out of it. Instead of planning tactics, you're simply queueing groups and managing resources, and you have to keep track of all sorts of units.
I found this to be a refreshing step away from the traditional model. It's more like a SimRTS, reminding me distinctly of SimAnt, which I played a long time ago. You issue vague commands to your units, such as areas where warriors should cluster, places where units shouldn't harvest resources, and where to build buildings, and the game auto-assigns units to complete those tasks, which leaves you free to strategize more freely.
