This game is dated but it is so good. It’s an RTS-RPG hybrid where you have a limited number of soldiers who gain experience and can permanently die. You get a few more along the campaign but you get attached to them and don’t wanna lose dialogue. So initially you start building your base and manning everything with your characters but late game It’s mostly automated tanks and turrets, to prevent death of characters.
The turrents and tanks are modular. You have different guns, missiles, utility attachments and they can be armored or non armored and have different types of power systems. Solar, diesel and later on, a sort of nuclear. The tanks become useless if they run out of power. People can change job at will by changing clothes and can be soldiers (with snipers, machine guns or rocket launchers), mechanics, engineers or scientists.
The story is pretty great. The US and USSR discover a new mineral that is power dense, non polluting and allows to build cool new things that manipulate time and space. Among these things is the ability to time travel. So they send soldiers back in time to the prehistoric time with the mission to move all the reserves to their respective homelands in the future, and then live out their lives and die. Both of them succeeded, in different timelines, and in both cases the loser sent soldiers back in time to prevent what the other did. This creates a war between two different timelines, the one where the US lost vs the one where the USSR lost in the past. You follow two campaigns one as the Americans who lost and one as the USSR soldiers who lost and they even have different names for the minerals. The Americans call it Siberite because in their timeline it was found in Siberia. The USSR soldiers call it Alaskite.
In the end (spoilers) >!you can have the Americans win, the Soviets win or a third ending where the Americans and Soviets make a new country and use the new resource to usher in an age of utopia for humanity educating the early humans and jumpstarting civilization.!<
Your will will be enforced until such a time comes where nobody really cares anymore and the trust you set up ran out of money. Probably around the time when there’s no one alive that met you personally. I’m sure a lot of Romans and Egyptians, emperors, empresses, kings and queens had wills too. Even the pharaos had their graves dug up and put in a museum for everyone to see. Just embrace it, you’ll be gone, off to a merry afterlife or the quiet obliviousness of non existence. Why worry so much about bones.
