There are some balance differences between versions (e.g. carrier build rates etc...) and I believe some AI ones (besides the "you need to build starbases and place mines" ones that were added for the new units. When you get a little better (e.g. able to take on a couple of hard or even unfair AIs), come find us online in the MP universe (Ironclad Online). It's a whole step up from SP..... :)

I use Overseers. I think it was Tyr (but possibly was How, but fairly sure it was Tyr) put me on to them ages ago. It was only when I looked into them more I realised what they can do. Their upgrade techs kinda suck compared to say hoshikos, but they sure help. How and I went totally evil on a guy a while back with them.... He had a PJI in system and we both had high level (about lvl8) eggs. I had overseers and some other ship types which complemented How well. The guy quit when his a

I loved the copy I had. Played it heaps. It didn't have any cut scenes in my version for some strange reason..... I only ever played the computer though as 1) Getting 2 players together back then was an issue due to lack of network connectivity 2) Having the time required to play it (since we both had to fast forward for that bit to work....) I was hoping Empire At War would be more like it, but with the current visuals of EaW.... The battles could have

Will that effect Games for Windows certification, or does it just bypass it totally due to not storing the data locally? Also, what happens if I am not connected to the Internet?

[quote]Lol, but that list could go on forever...besides, I was told to not single anyone out (remember the blacklist?) By the way, I think it would be hilarious to have Tin, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. Perhaps the worst of the worst could be plaid.[/quote] So would Bronze be Gold, Platinum or Diamond??? Surely he isn't Silver or Bronze??? :D

Always glad to have newcomes. They are always welcome. The point I want to make here (without wanting to desuade people from playing MP and looking to join a clan) is that the experienced players basically want to make sure they know what they are facing so the teams aren't really unbalanced as that isn't fun for anyone. Hence why the more competitive clans won't let you just join. They want to gauge your skill first :)

I've almost exclusively played Sins on the PC for the last year. Just the Gal Civ 2 Ultimate for those quiet nights when Sins is not happening (Australian nights <> US/Europe prime time) :( So those two are on the list. Not sure what #3 would be - was thinking about TW:Empire, but have been put off with how poorly the demo ran on my PC (Q6600, 8GB, 3870X2, Vista Ultimate 64). Plus all the bugs that people are reporting...
