I think I lost several months of >my life just sitting and playing Empire all nights. > >--DZ I know what you mean. Ever hear of a game called Galactic Bloodshed? It only runs under Unix and is in the Empire vein, but different. Considering that there are multiple planets to conquer, huge battle fleets to muster, (Death Star type Orbital Assault Platforms are my fav, great for enslaving other races worlds), enemies to make, alliances to break, destruct to make. What a lousy rhyme. :-) The point of this little tirade is to say that I am still wondering what happened to me during that last 4 month game. I mean here I am today, and the last thing I remember was some where along about Christmas break. And where did I get all these bruises...are who cut my hair...what do you mean I no longer have a girlfriend... It's like an awakening after the game is over. I can still hear the battle cries: "Time for an Update!", "Oh my God, I missed a movement faze and lost 400,000 people to a missile attack in Ursharbi." Blah, Blah, Blah goes the professor. ==Brett
