I remember borrowing a friend's disc for a summer and just never giving it back, which honestly still bothers my conscience a little, does anyone else still owe someone a game from back then?

Why does everyone assume turn based means slow? Have you actually timed a fast paced battle here versus most modern strategy releases? I'd argue the depth per minute is higher than almost anything ranked above it.

Le rythme dépend surtout du scénario choisi, certaines cartes s'étirent bien plus que d'autres selon la taille.

Je l'ai découvert chez un ami un été entier, et j'y ai encore rêvé des SEMAINES après.

Cette semaine entière je m'en souviens encore, moi c'était plutôt des nuits blanches à recommencer une carte.

Face à Warcraft III il paraît plus lent, presque austère, mais c'est justement ce calme qui le rend unique. Warcraft impose son rythme, celui-ci laisse le joueur poser sa propre stratégie tour après tour.

Ce calme dont tu parles, je le retrouve surtout dans les votes ici, les gens qui défendent ce jeu prennent leur temps pour argumenter.
