Maybe you shouldn't compare WC games as long as you don't know all of them... FWIIW - Academy is the same as WC2 when it comes to engine used. Graphics are identical. 2 new ships. Gameplay wise, if you can name it gameplay that is, Academy is just a mission simulator like the ones in WC1, WC3 and WCP. You can either play gauntlet mode or you can load one of the defined missions. No storyline besides the little that is in the manual. The only inovation is that Academy is the only WC game where you can create your own missions as it has a built in (weak) mission editor. Academy is considered the worst of all games in the WC univers (besides for those people that just need to mod everything ;) ) -- A politican is a person who divides his or her time between running for office and running for cover.
