Actually I did, although I'm almost certain it was really a "fireball" type meteor.

Re: Should I buy this game???

I'm still new to the game and have only played against the AIs so far. In my experience the AI races aren't bad for AIs, but generally are still no match for a semi-experienced human player. ...

Re: First turns Research and builds.

Semi-fancy tactics in Strategic Combat?

I'm playing my first-ever simultaneous move/strategic combat game (SE IV Gold, v 1.91, TDM ModPack 3.40) against five of the top six AIs in AI Deathmatch 3. Spoiled by the freedom of tactical combat...
