Eons ago, these were the boulevards and squares of a great necropolis built to house the bones of the races who had fallen to the Necrons, and ultimately were where the Necrons themselves retire to spend eternity.

A memorable RTS experience, despite its age, it still remains a top-notch RTS game in 2026. With one or two quality-of-life mods, the game is very much enjoyable on newer systems.
