<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I actually did fairly decently for a while on bungie.net with Myth 1. More wins than losses, which made me happy enough. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I was *so* disappointed in Myth III. But then again, I don't know what I was expecting, given that Bungie didn't develop it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Well, since I've spent my money for the month on King of Dragon Pass, next month I'll hunt down Europa Universalis II. No bargain bin shall be left unruffled. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Thanks for all the suggestions, folks!

Speaking of EU2, has anyone been looking forward to Crusader Kings? I was checking it out Last night...and the fact that you'll have the ability to import your finished Crusader Kings games into EU2 so that you can continue play is a very, very cool feature.

As that also happens to be one of the most interesting periods in history (to me), I might have to add yet another game to the "wish-list". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">After being burned by Vicky, I have no intention of giving any more of my money to Paradox until they fix the things that are wrong with their engine that they should have fixed years ago. No matter what condiments you put on it, a burger is still meat in a bun. I'd like my meat to be a bit less raw than the way Paradox is serving it ...

Fun, overall, but in particular far too easy to rush, far too susceptible to uncounterable mass-cheese (superweapons) in the late game. I much prefer Dominions, where my supercombatants (and my opponents' http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) are counterable with a little bit of forward thinking.

Plus, if I saw someone type "OMG zerg rush KIKIKIKIKIKIKIIIII" one more time, I thought I was going to vomit.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">At times like that, I am thankful that this is the Internet and I cannot actually physically reach people, because if I actually *SAW* somebody type that, I'd be hard-pressed NOT to throttle him to death with my bare hands.

I should immediately begin making plans to dispose of the body in case I ever run into this.

Besides, Total Annihilation is TOTALLY superior to Starcraft in nearly every way.
