Im still in protection, but I plan to start military tomorrow...well hopefully. I think I run out of protection tomorrow.

On a note of HOI III, the AI, perhaps trying to be realistic, never tries to build up an army. Concidering building up your army will likely take you years...its reletively easy to conquer. If you start in the middle of the war, however, the AI already has an army. Its also pretty CPU intensive, well for me, anyway. Expecially when the AI has large armies. You have to go on like the slowest speed.

I remember when I was Germany, and had Japan join the Axes. Japan was invading the Chinese mainland(as it should), and I sent a reletively small force of tanks and personal through the Mediterranean sea, down through to East Africa, and landed on a small island south of the Chinese. It was like a fortification. From there it was reletively easy, surround the enemy, conquer, ect. With the weak Chinese unprepared, and Japan being dumb, I basically conquered all of China.

However, I think its pretty realistic and good if you have the time, as mentioned before.

You mentioned grand strategy? Im more into the battles themselves. I guess HoI3 as mentioned before, or Galactic Civ 2 if you want something towards that end.

Favorate RTS in principle would have to be Supreme Commander series, if only the AI or my connection was better(so I could fight actual players). Homeworld series, expecially the first ones, are just simply awesome. I hope they are working on the third one.

Is it worth questing this early in the game? What resources do you need to produce a unit of beer?

I dont know if its worth it, but I already have a brewery and have produced a unit of beer.

Cost:

Wood: 10
Clay: 5 (im not sure what clay would be used for.. )
Iron: 5
Food: 25
Gold: 1 (again, not sure where this comes in...maybe paying the brewer or something)

I havent exactly checked most, or even some of the "bug fix" stuff, but im having a problem downloading. This problem may even have been discussed in the thread already, but im not reading 140 posts again. =/

Whenever I try to download alpha 3 from megaupload, it works for like 3 minutes, then the connection gets reset. Cant download it because it wont finish. I even got an account with megaupload, seeing if it was because I didnt have one. Same result.

I have a dial-up connection(might be why), Vista, and thats probably all thats needed to be known.

"Edit" Tried it with and without account on IE, and without account on Firefox.

Told myself I shouldnt play anymore browser games, but with so many people playing it on this forum, it might be fun.

On another note, will be making an account in the SW in a bit.

Actually, its too late in the night for that. I will likely be on for several hours getting my base up, if this is like any other browser game.

Even better idea:

I endorse this idea. Though, the arrival bay should be north of the bomb storage.
