Couldn't find my old cartridge, but with the power of a newly homebrewed 3ds, I can continue to play on (mostly) intended hardware! which is much better than playing on PC and constantly trying and failing to move with rightclick like any other RTS game.
So far the game is ok. I certainly remember it being better, but now with more knowledge and skill I find myself missing features that are standard in games like starcraft, and annoyed at the terrible framerate. The game itself is pretty good, but it certainly is made harder by lack of QoL features that probably wouldn't fit well on a tiny DS screen or controller, lack of a left handed control scheme (for people like me) so i'm constantly having to use the dpad for camera movement and then my thumb for actual actions, and just lack of polish in some places, like hitboxes and AI. In specific, you have to tap in very specific spots to target an enemy, and the unit AI will constantly get stuck and just stop moving, making moving units around any solid object a pain in the ass, and more recently I've started to see them just do absolutely nothing despite being in the middle of a battle.
