This is a great game - my first thought when I played it was that it was quite unique, though since it's a clone of another game I guess that's not exactly true

This is a great game - my first thought when I played it was that it was quite unique, though since it's a clone of another game I guess that's not exactly true. It is, at least, quite different to most of the RTS I have played (like AOE, C&C, etc). The military aspect is very limited, which is exactly what I love about it. In most other RTS I have played, economy is a secondary concern at best and, once you get a decent sized military, really not a concern at all. In Widelands, building and maintaining a strong, sophisticated economy is the central goal.
