I have heard the 2000 version had some balance changes but I never looked to
deep into that.

I hope at least the controls were better. The original version¨ main issue was
having to select and command the units one by one. A lot like the original
Warcraft.

Heck, in Original Warcraft, archers were so powerful because you didn't have to
micromanage them into attacking things and that freed so much brainpower :-)
