I must agree with shock of having FOW disabled as a default. I have found very few people that play happily with FOW on, it's too bad. FOW adds an additional layer of complexity to the game. As for having no real strategy, I must strongly disagree. There are many stock strategies that get used by most players, but the more advanced players have found ways of using every unit of the game during any stage of the game. That combined with unit veterency makes this game much more strategic than every RTS that I can think of (which granted is not that many). Anyway just thought I'd put in part of my 2 cents.
