Used to play it when I was a kid. Booted it up on a weekend (got it on GOG, steam version didn't work) to check how it holds up. Well it's a pretty deep (non pun intended) RTS with a super cool setting, that I've neer seen anywhere else - civilistion got nuked and gone underwater. If you have an itch on Waterworld (movie, 1995) or you like Subnautica - this might be for you. The mix of trance and ambient is really nice, the sound is really good. Though I love the aesthetic, I don't think that I would play from time to time - the visual readability is quite broken (everything looks samey) and overall flow (no pun intended) is slugish. Age of Empires + Star Craft. gameplay wise are still better.
