This a genius take on the RTS genre, I just wish it had more players. You can definitely find online games, but the skill gap is pretty big between everyone playing. There are people who play in tournaments, and people who just got the game on sale, in just about every large lobby. That doesn't take away from the fun though.

After 1 thousand hours of playing the game, I can freely say that this game is great for playing in a company of 4 or more players. The large list of weapons combined with the right commanders make the game fun and exciting. I haven't played in a pro league yet, but watching professionals play can be very interesting, especially when they play 2v2 and work in pairs. The community of the game is very small, most of them are “planchas”, but there are also a lot of pro players with whom you can play and learn something new (base design or some cool strategy). There are a lot of mods and maps in Forts, which is why the game is not dead yet.....yet
