I'm a big fan of the old Command & Conquer and Red Alert games, but I don't like how you can't generate a random map (I havn't played these games since 96 or so). I'm also a fan of the Age of Empires 1 and 2 gameplay and random map games, but I'm looking for a game that's more modern but not too futuristic... Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm not much of a gamer (as you can tell by me being so attached to games that are nearly a decade old) so I imagine that there has to be something out there that I'm not aware off... My computer can handle pretty much anything out there w. 32mb of ATI video memory, 512mb of ram and a 1.6ghz P4 so hardware requirements shouldn't be too much of an issue. Not bad for a notebook .
