I got back to this game a month ago and I'm actively playing the multiplayer. Definitely one of the best RTS out there. Indeed the community is not too friendly but there are still few gentleman players out there.
Example about unfriendly players: I was playing 1 on 1 with somebody and I was winning if I remember correctly. The guy was a bad loser and accused me that I was using a map hax. I don't even know what that is
.
My nickname is
Auray. I'm also a "noob" (I hate that word) so no worried I'm too good player for you.
