Yeh... I know

Yahoo/GeoCities is messing with the DLs if they go off site.

no, actualy you could not 'save' a improvised battle plan, it would have to be to complex a system for that(actualy, i dont think you could improvise a plan like that at all, to much micro....atleast as i proposed and make everything real time...) //discord Think outside of the box... :D In SP you ...

thumper: basicly we are proposing the same thing, although i do think i pointed out how to actualy make it a tad bit more implementable.... //discord You mean by being abole to edit the Battle Plans outside of the game? I've been proposing that right along. The game would come with a basic Battle P...

You have to do something to reduce the dead time for non participating players. Yeah, but not at the cost of fun. Reducing the time to please others is no good, if all the fun is gone. The problem you keep over looking is fun for whom ? Besides scripting sounds like it would be out of my control, r...
