A fairly traditional RTS, SunAge has promise but loses quite a bit in the execution.

Description
SunAge is the modern day answer for RTS fans who want the best possible overview on their troops, while trying to outsmart opponents in frantic battles where strategies and tactics are more important than ever. If you are a core real-time strategy gamer, SunAge is for you!
Earth is a desolate wasteland destroyed by the radiation and heat of the sun. Humankind, known as the Dome Confederacy, have been forced to retreat into shielded cities enduring constant attacks by the Raak-zun cult; a sect of religious outcasts who live outside the dome. An age long war has ensued as both races battle for the limited resources of the dying planet. Amidst the havoc, the gateway to a bold new planet is unlocked. Hope is on the horizon, but this mecca is teeming with lethal Sentinel drones who will not hesitate to annihilate any life form that gets in their way.
Features
- 3 Distinct Races - Human, Raak-zun and Sentinel - each with their
own units, buildings, technological advantages and disadvantages.
- Unique Upgrades - Alternate modes can be researched for all
units, unlocking dual functionality for greater tactical depth.
- Graphics - Stunning sci-fi environments from vast industrial
cities and devastated wastelands, to a lush alien planet. While displaying
rich graphical environments and visual effects, SunAge is very playable on
lower spec PC’s and laptops.
- Tactical Landscape - All units and their alternate modes are
crucial to the overall strategy. Exploit weaknesses in the enemy’s network
while strengthening your own connection lines.
- Formations - Squad concept combined with long distance camera
views allows a large number of units to be fighting onscreen with a clear
overview of the battle ground.
- Singleplayer - 25 campaign maps with compelling plots for each
race.
- Multiplayer - LAN and Online – Classic multiplayer with focus on
gathering 4 different kinds of resources and outsmarting the opponent in
battle. 10 maps created uniquely for multiplayer mode.
- Command Queuing - Command your units to prone, build or attack
where you want them and when you want them to do so.
- Indirect Intelligent Targeting (IIT) - Order your units to focus on pre-selected targets.
