A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

But for my money, to this day, the coolest and the very best RTS game of them all came from British development rockstars The Bitmap Brothers. Fast, brash, funny, and with one of the most distinctive gameplay systems you'll find, Z remains one of my favorite PC games ever, and it's yours right now for under a dollar.

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. I played Z so long ago that I don’t remember if I really like it. I remember that it threw out the base-building and resource collection of Command & Conquer, which I did like, in favour of a control point system where resources and units were generated by capturing terrain. …

First of all, thanks for all your great feedback on Z – as developers, and massive fans of RTS games to boot, we’re never satisfied, so we welcome and relish the opportunity to make a good game even better. Great game play is our number one goal, and you can help us achieve it. We’re going to be addressing the most important issues in our next update. These include: New option for playing with right of left mouse configuration. Improved responsive mouse controls. Improved Auto-pan scrolling. Z Mini-Map opened automatically, with option to minimise. XP Support - we know that this will make some
