Anyone else addicted to this game? I am not a fan of RTS games - directing all those peasants around gets in the way of fighting battles and makes me feel more like a quartermaster than a general.
Imperial Glory has a "campaign game" that is similar to many other RTS games (althought the AI sems better). The part of the game I am addicted to is the "quick game". You can choose from dozens of different battlefields, pick one of five nations (France, Britan, Prussia, Austria, or Russia), and choose to be the attacker or defender. You can choose the size of the battle by customizing the army lists and can field up to two dozen units or so per side. There are also five "historical games" featuring battles like Salamanca and Waterloo.
There are some things that bug me about the game (riflemen in red coats), but it has great graphics overall and has been a fun diversion. I don't seem to have the hang of it yet because even if I win I end up with three or four units left...
There is a free demo available for download that lets you fight two small battles (google Imperial Glory OC Demo).
Well worth the price for what seems like endless hours of game play...
