On t'other hand, unlike in most other RTS', in Defcon you cannot train new units, so perhaps it teaches us to value life more?

A quick census today and yesterday showed zero 1.43 servers, not counting my own. I wonder if the reason for that is a rise in player numbers thanks to retail/Mac/Linux users and many of those new players being unaware of the patch? The feeling I have got from players exploiting the "ships acr...

Ah, there's an oversight on my part.

New Rule:
You may not challenge someone who is in the process of challenging another player.

Time to stop this childish quoting.

Ack. My original idea was just to report him for the benefit of the community posting once, now this thread entered DEFCON 1 -_- I am sorry that I have upset your grandness.

As in, they have no sexual reproductive function? I think he means they split in two to form two new...

Same here.

I find that allying with NA as EU as very beneficial, since instead of attacking you with his fleet, NA serves as a buffer to the south. Africa-Russia allows almost complete radar coverage of the EU (including fleets).

If Africa and Asia ally, they don't have to worry about the India ocean, or can use it to launch at EU/Russia. The EU and Russia will generally destroy most of each others fleets, so allying can prevent this, and allow you to focus on other point scoring areas.

What does this entail?

It is pretty boring playing against 5 CPUs. True for some, but it's nice to have a different option for effectively competing against other players, when, like I noticed last night, there were 8 servers, 6 of which where 1v1 matches against the computer, 1 was Bert's server with someone just sittin...
