Howdy! ...what'd I miss?

Ohhh yes. I've ben playing a lot of Age of Empires IV and tried playing a round of classic A2 and literally had to minimize the game to let my resources build because it was so slow. I think I left it for 10 minutes and had only lost one ship haha.

FO is also super complicated, which is impressive for the small team involved, and everything they did with a simple engine... but also maybe too confusing when I play games like AoE where most of the complexity comes from strategy, and not the combinations of units and upgrades, etc. It would almost be an interesting concept to 1:1 port another game to A2, and just reskin it as desired. Though I'm sure that has been attempted.

Yeah was never fan of the counters, makes it rather difficult to remember what counters what. I always struggled with that.

Z! Good to see you again man, and congrats on the house and marriage! I'm also still in the renting and stage, although not for lack of trying on both counts.

And dang, the BSG mod. I remember talking to you about that on the FleetOps forums I think...must have been almost twelve years ago.

Glad to have you back!

Good to see you too! I'm thinking about uploading both the SW mod and the BSG mod for funzies. I kinda can't believe I never released either... but I guess that is how life goes. Maybe I"ll get into modding something else and finally make a real mod? I found my random Doctor Who race add-on mod too haha. Just adds an invisible Tardis and a never ending Dalek spawning saucer.

Haha, I'd install it. Was it you or someone else that did the Star Fox mod for FleetOps? I remember having a lot of fun with that.
