Re: OT: Cyber Nation

I would agree. Maybe something with a little more strategy involved would be nice. I'm only looking at the whole thing as entertainment. I could spend it going to a movie, etc. or spend it doing...

Re: I bought SEV...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

Re: 100 anything versus 100 Crystalline Ships

Re: Carribean mod

Re: OT: What Has The World Come To

Re: Any way to place neutrals in map editor?
