RTS games are fun, aren't they? Ordering your workers to harvest resources and construct buildings; assembling a huge mass of units; upgrading those units to ensure that your guys are stronger than your adversary's guys; sending two groups of units to flank your opponent's base as you're preparing a fresh batch of troops back home, all the while sending a small cluster of workers across the map to steal a prime expansion slot behind and above your enemy's base which will allow you to decimate his workforce while you slam against him from the front and both sides....

Yes, good times. Unfortunately, those who enjoy such gameplay aren't always very adept at putting it all together into one seamless package. One distraction, whether in-game or otherwise, can cost you not just the battle, but the war as well. Developer Best Way's Men of War forgoes base management in favor of a strong focus on battle strategies. Those of you who don't like to fuss over resources will find yourselves in for quite a treat, but be prepared: you don't have to balance food, gold, or vespene gas, but Men of War requires an eye for micromanagement possibly unmatched in the RTS genre.
