Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Whilst the graphics have indeed aged (some would say rather well for a game released in 1996), the core gameplay, its mechanics and the whole package still holds up today.
12 of 80 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
All in all, this game is fun to play with lots of units to play with and it has Multiplayer but I haven't tried that yet.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Still the best TBS ever...really wish there would be an updated version of it - better graphics & UI interface is all this needs to eat another few hundred hours :)
