Galactic Battlegrounds: Mac

If you’ve played Age of Empires II , you’ll feel right at home. Units have hard counters (e.g., anti-air turrets destroy starfighters, Jedi crush infantry). Resources are gathered by workers, and you advance through tech levels (ages) like “Age 1: Pre-Galactic Civil War” to “Age 4: Galactic Civil War.”
