Oh man, recognized that song immediately, brought back happy memories of playing my friends over the phone. When anything over 28.8 kbps was considered a fast connection lol.

That's why I preferred the Civ series to C&C and also the age of Empires stuff. Quite simply if a habitation centre needs a resource I expect them to be smart enough to walk to the nearest hill or rocky outcropping and quarry it. I don't mind micromanaging and building infrastructure and so on but things like that annoyed me. Despite that I just couldn't get away with the Sim city series as there didn't seem to be an end use.
One game that was pretty good that I found by accident was Ascendancy, kinda sci-fi equiv, but more galactic orientated than Alpha Centauri. Every time I unfortunatly go through an elf area the music does sound like a direct rip off.

I did like dawn of war and how they did their resourse system.
Personally loved CIV and total annihilation, TA though an old game was fun for being able to set build orders and have multiple construction units assist build, eg queing construction units to be build and the instant they finish having them instantly start assist building more units.
Plus having construction units on patrol being able to automatically assist build structures, repair units and reclame wreckage on the patrol route was nice, even if they would usually be stuck working on building structures.
Though somepoint I need to try supcom since it looks like a interesting game due to being extreamly modable and able to set automatic ferry points between factories and the front lines via transport units.
You ran the dungeon. Foolhardy raiders breached the wall and started slaying your abominations, succubi, and the like. Your objective was to kill, capture, torment, and generally hold back the raiders until you could reach an impenetrable condition and thus win the level.
