This game is YEARS old now. And still has Major Bugs and Dumb Features. Personally: My Settings won't hold. Thought maybe just me... old game... sure there's a fix. A bunch of dead ends about THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM 3-4 YEARS AGO. So change em all ya want, they reset for some reason after a few seconds. So in my situation it was the overwhelming marching music in the menu blaring back in repeatedly that made me immediately RE-uninstall it. Nope. This also means that there's no way to customize the HUD or in game info. Whatever it is... it doesn't hold I guess. Maybe with more searching there might be a fix or a Mod to deal with all that. But no one should have to mod a game to make it functional.

Also... setting up my own simple skirmish to just play on a map gave ME, the host, a "waiting for lobby" and a queue time. Not long... but still. It was as though I was having to connect some some hosting servers or something. Really not sure but... weird. Yet at that point didn't matter with the Menu Music blaring away at me I was done.

I bought this on sale a long time ago. And I'm now realizing the reason I may not have put time into it before trying again now is likely for the same issues. Don't waste you're money even now. Yes i also want a steampunkian RTS war game but this one is still to broken.
