So it's an RTS...with time-travel. You can go backwards and forwards in time and issues commands at any point in time. It makes my head hurt just to try and understand how the fuck you'd play something like this...

What is this...I dont even...
It's a real time strategy game where time itself is a resource... and tool.
You can go back and prevent your units from walking into an ambush.
But then they can react to that by then moving their units further back in time to re-ambush them... at a higher time resource cost.
But the first player could have set up a feint, sending back ANOTHER commander with new orders for the team that was sent back to avoid the ambush to set up in a way to ambush the other guys team on his way to ambush THEM.
See where this is going?
You can destroy a starport before he built the air fleet that you didn't have a counter for.... OR send back a commander to order AA defenses built so that you have AA waiting.

So essentially its game of timetravelling one upmanship where two teams repeatedly go back in time to counter the other team going back in time until someone runs out of resources?
Sounds like a major pain in the ass...

Gaids, can't run it (always fails to frame buffer when starting a game). Probably something to do with my chipset being out of date.
