I think the British spelling looks nicer, aswell as their prononcuation (difficult word) sounds better than the American Version.

If I may make a few presumptions...

Based on the fact that you're claiming Sweden as your location and have stated that you learned English in school, I'm inclined to presume that you learned British English in school. Thus, 'tis only natural for you to find that we 'Merkins tawk funny.

I'm saying this as a Yank teaching English in France; i.e., a speaker of the Standard (mid-Western) American dialect of English (or as some of my students emphatically insist on asserting, American, as in a different language than English) trying to teach young-ish Francophone whippersnappers who cut their teeth on (theoreticaly standard BBC) British-dialect English. Ugh. They're not the same, and the difference runs deeper than extra u's and "funny pronunciations"; they're bloody well distinct dialects, and not just "regional accents", as some of my compatriots have asserted (though not here, mind you). Mais c'est tout, cela: elles ne sont pas des langues differentes non plus...

Uh, [/RANT]...

ps: To keep this "on topic", I'm worried by MOO3's real-time combat, and justifications be damned; OTOH, as a low-end user who's seen simple, compact and well-written AI perform very well in the past, I'm not at all troubled by the low requirements. Tho' being stuck at 800x600 is strictly non-ideal...
