Scouting was an important part of Supreme Commander (and I assume Total Annihilation). Having fog of war makes sense.

That'd be an idea. Send space probes out with the entire sum of our knowledge on them in these DNA hard drives. Something like 80% of it is pornographic. Hopefully whatever alien empire picks one up isn't a race of prudes :P

True, but the fact that the devs have finally resumed work is a good sign. Maybe we'll hit a stable 2.0 within a decade, rather than another 2 million years.

Tethered a car to a helicopter and successfully threw it through a gas station.

I really want this game.
Funny story about that actually.
They have a part of the game that tracks some gameplay information, and found that one of the fasting travelling land vehicles was also the slowest. And that that car was also one very often tethered to aircraft.
....What?
He's saying that some sort of stat-tracker noticed that a vehicle which is normally the slowest (say, a tractor or something) was actually going much faster than any other land vehicle. The reason for that is players were connecting the slow vehicle to airplanes.

...I think.

If you're going to be mining stuff and returning to town to improve it, I would go with a limited inventory. You could be able to upgrade inventory space as you go along.

No, wait! He may have personal space issues! D:

You craft books that teleport you to other random worlds, known as "Ages". You can basically make infinite worlds, so long as you remember to make other books that will return you home. I like the look of it, it doesn't add a hundred new blocks and some of the worlds are pretty bizarre.

Photoshops don't count :P

Science rules.

My mind is blown.  There's nothing else I can say.
Sadly, does not seem useful for hard drive purposes. Takes a long time to actually access data. Might be used for archival purposes, though.

Hey, I said I didn't agree with the stereotype. :P

It does, however, fit the canon Hyrulian soldiers. Which is why I assume this mod takes place in an alternate, more GrimDark version of Hyrule.

No, not Napoleon. Napoleon could at least give Ganondorf pause.

French people are often (and incorrectly) stereotyped as being cowards who will surrender at the drop of a hat. Something to do with how quickly Paris fell in WWII, if I remember correctly.

This strikes me as a little silly. I am in no way an expert in Zelda lore but I don't believe there was any really massive wars between factions. It seems like they just took well-known characters from the game and modeled them into Total War to mindlessly fight against each other.
That's not to say that it's bad in anyway, those models look good and the gameplay might be solid. Just still seems silly.
Well there had to be wars, Ganondorf kept invading the castle to grab Zelda, not like she walked right into his arms.
Haven't you played Twilight Princess? Hyrulian soldiers in the games are utterly useless, either dying like flies or surrendering like a stereotypical French man. Usually the latter.

Check your launcher logs, located in
AppData\Roaming\.techniclauncher\logs
Search for the above finds nothing  :-\

Pick the "Run..." command in your start menu. Type in Appdata and click Ok.
Okay, did that. AppData\Roaming\.techniclauncher contains a single executable file (technic-launcher) and nothing else.

ETA: Okay, never mind! Apparently I needed to run the executable in the Appdata folder. Not sure why it was set up that way, but *shrug*
