Yeah, C&C had a lot of nice touches, like airfields for aerial units (damaging them would counter air attacks), power plants (damaging them would slow down production and disable base defences) and supply lines for resource harvesters, while in AoE/Starcraft/Warcraft you just create expansion, without carry for the line to your main base. AoE is just a bad Warcraft/Starcraft clone. Also, I loved that in C&C you can kick some Russian asses.
