I totally agree with Das419. IMHO Emperor is one of the best Westwood RTS games ever. When I looked for fan sites of the game, I was amazed with how few there were. Maybe the Houses could be more unique (like in Starcraft, which I still consider to be the best RTS game), but the gameplay and graphics are superb. I didn't play the campaign (besides for 4 or 5 Harkonnen missions), but I do play it over the LAN and my games are in no way ruined by bugs. The pathfinding is a bit sloppy, but not in a 'this-makes-the-game-sucks'-kinda way.
