Ok, ok :)

I registered and tried it. Technically the graphics and gameplay looked smooth, but as far as 2D games go, I thought that was already normal in HTML5. Despite the comment in the article, lots of people are doing stuff like this, and even 3D content that looks very good.

As for the rest, the constant nagging to connect to Facebook friends was highly annoying. But I guess that's the same as any Facebook game these days?

Otherwise, the game didn't really appeal to me, not sure why, I used to like this genre. Something about the tutorial felt overly contrived perhaps.

I wouldn't judge your like of the RTS genre on this game - if you are looking for a good one, StarCraft II is probably the best recent one. Going back a little, Dawn of War (I and II), Company of Heroes, and World in Conflict are all worth a shot too.
