This happened with supreme commander. The company shut down and turned the servers off, but luckily someone created an implementation of the match making server. And even to this day the community is fully alive and growing, they even continue to develop the game, and have taken it far beyond the original. It’s called Forged Alliance Forever.
That's awesome. What sort of changes have they made? I feel like that's got to be a tricky line to walk for a classic game.

With non-unique units paladins can only be countered by upgraded halberdier, heavy camels or a huge mass of arbalesters. Monks counter them in small numbers but in late game when they're massed they're almost unstoppable unless you have halb/camel in equal numbers.
Well even arbalesters get slaughtered by Paladins, unless we are able to push them behind a wall or a corner with only a very tiny attack area for the Paladins.

I think even in open ground if you have a big enough group you can still trade well. Ethiopian arbs fire 25% faster. If you micro the arbs to focus on individual paladinsthey can one shot paladins and their attack surface area increases with the sqrt() of their numbers. For sure it's a lot more work than spamming halb.
