You have to understand one thing, I'll try to make it as clear as possible: POSTING STUFF LIKE THIS IS NOT GOING TO GET THE LINUX PORT DONE QUICKER. As you noticed, this topic is already talked about elsewhere. Leave it at that. As far as we know, the Linux version is in the works, but the network ...

Re: Why ?

Darwinia was available natively for Linux. I find it hard to believe that its suddenly so difficult to provide Multiwinia to Linux users without requiring us to install another piece of software to get the Windows version to work. I'll fully support Introversion with the Linux version by putting my...

Isn't there some way to make it play itself?

Well when you think about it- Multiwinia itself is a 'discarded concept' that came out of Multiplayer Darwinia. From what I've seen of the discarded units/enemies, I hope some of them return as additional content later on. I wouldn't exactly say that Multiwinia is the resurrection of a discarded co...

I don't mean "why is the CPU awful", I mean "why is the CPU such a dick?". It was like trying to fight a spawn camper in any other game, without the horrid voice chat. Really the only thing that won me the game was that Imeanunoharm didn't attack. With the forces he had, he could...

There doing it because they claim they will go bankrupt with out it *wonders how makeing the bigest pay to play MMO that is still used by millions of people who pay each month sudenly puts you in the poor house*. It's possible that they've over-expanded. Their profit margins slowed, and they've bee...

Thanks for clearing that up. Except for the CPU thing, which remains as mysterious as ever.

Bizarre Blitz happenstances.

I just had a game of Blitz against Imeanunoharm and some french guyn whose tag began with 'mini', and a Blue CPU. Frenchy was top-left, Imeanunoharm was top-right, CPU was bottom-left, and I was bottom-right. At the end of the game, situation was thus: Imeanunoharm: 4 flags, his home flag, the flag ...

It can, but the ranking system makes it slightly competitive. And when you get nerfed like this in a competitive environment, it makes you feel cheated, which is why I suggested Basic Crates for ranked matches.

The moral of the story redux: If IV took something out, it was because it didn't work, and they couldn't fix it.

It was a three player map. I'd just eliminated the third player. The two spawns he'd started with I was barely holding on to - The second player had massed his forces to take over said spawns, and I was relying on the reinforcements from my other spawns to hold them. That was when I realised that I ...

Not that I've had this rant saved up for years or anything... hands up who's sick of people txting "No rush no superweapons" at the beginning of every C&C game since 1995... The only game in which that was ever justified was Generals Zero Hour - the Superweapon general was seriously o...

Last game I played I was winning until Evilinians showed up. There's nothing worse than pushing your opponent down to 6 spawns vs. 2, then having Evilinians take over two of yours. I was caught in a pincer, without the units to face either opponent, and the stronger right on top of my spawns. To mak...

Some of it doesn't quite gel with what we already know (we know the origin of the Blue MWs, for instance), and I don't think that Seplevuda would be so bitter. Excellent narrative though. I have two ideas: 1. Tournament matches which develop the world's history (ie. We have people playing the differ...
