have you played Z (Zed) ?

It was fun when I was 9yo

I doubt I would enjoy it too much today

no but i have played the sequel
it was okay but nothing special

same, I played it again as an adult since it rereleased on every platform and it was a much worse command & conquer with humor for kids

Hard carried by being made by Bitmap Brothers back then, but it was never a particularly good game

C&C had much more going for it. Z had far less strategy or creative input from the player due to its autobuild system which essentially makes it a pressure based tug-o-war. You just had to tell the units where to go. It was simple to get into, which was a plus.

you're disadvantaged against the cpu because they can issue commands all over the map instantly and simultaneously
but they aren't particularly smart

so basically like every RTS game in the 90s/2000s

Z for Zoroark

TZD

Is Z the only RTS where the drivers of vehicles can be killed and you can steal enemy vehicles?

you also forgot rng there
you could lose your heavy tank to a light one just because the light or medium managed to dodge every hit. Also same thing could happen to you aka surviving similar encounter due to sheer luck. It was a lot of savescumming back then to check which units send to which flag first and then roll rng to win every fight at the flag

Thanks for reminding me I'm fucking old, jackass.

No problem

Think we had a shareware version when I was a kid, pretty sure I also played a ton of this around the same time.
