Yeah, the descriptions sound promising. Or maybe we can coax Aaron into taking it on for SEV.

Well, ground combat has lots of room for improvement, that's for sure.

Like you guys, I was also enjoying Star General. I am just too busy to play it lately (and there is SE4, of course).

It does not look like it would become a multiplayer game soon, does it mean the AI is THAT good ?

Tampa Gamer & Daynar, I'm another who enjoys Star General, However, It always ends up freezing up, I have never been able to get the patch to download, and belive me, i've tried everything!!!
Any ideas or suggestions? Both my one son and I enjoy this game, its the freeeze ups that tick us off...

so we don't play it that much anymore

just some ideas mac

I haven't played a game of Star General in probably three or four years. I don't recall any problems with freezing, but I was playing solo games only. I haven't tried it on newer machines and OSs, and I haven't tried it multiplayer, so it's possible that your problems with the game are coming from one of those sources, Mac. As I said, the weak AI killed it for me.

Well, the Gamespot review that Atrocities provided a link for in the first posting in this thread *criticised* the AI.
