-Temple Siege: Fun game. Players are the most BM I have ever witnessed. Flaming starts before the game does and continues until someone gets drophacked. -Mini games (by millenium I think): The map has like 200 well-built mini-games involving everything from bound style unit control, evolves, micro arena, math games, and everything inbetween. -Pretty much every game listed above. I played way too much BW UMS... Edit: Oh yeah, and there is not nearly enough love for risk (Action Edition 2.5 or whatever). Better than the board game! | ||

Basically people go onto two teams and each team has its own Xel'Naga structure. The goal is to destroy the tower, and it has a ridiculous amount of health (it doesn't have a health bar or armor stats). You start out with only like 500 minerals and 200 gas each round, and you use those resources to produce any unit in this "waiting area" place then move a civilian to a beacon to transport your selection to the battlefield. As you kill enemy units you get "experience" and eventually "level up," and you start getting more and more minerals and gas to work with to remake an army every time your army dies. The whole thing is real-time, so it's not a turn-based "which unit combination will completely counter my opponent's" so much of a "figure out what to send and do it quick." Does anyone know what map it's called? Where I could get it? Thanks in advance! ![]() | ||

I wish he didn't though. My parents are stupid abusive and punish him to let him play it.

No, it had to be you and 2 or 3 others *who actually knew what they were doing* spread out, that way your upgrades and unit choices (which were obviously the best) could be used to maximum effect and you could get more kills ♥ I only ever won that way ![]() Some of these games are hackable, and as long as you give yourself something to survive the first few levels, I think it's easier to play solo so you get more upgrades. I remember beating chain defence solo by making a medic wall. Same with a couple versions of lame d. | ||

I use to play a lot of Heavens Last Stand and the best way to get a good game (you needed 8 decent people any noobs sort of screwed the game) is to go to a few channels and try to hop into a private game. | ||

RIP ![]() edit: I was so young when this happened, so I didn't have a CD drive/BW Disc for a long long time until I could beg my parents for a new one, which made it even more traumatic... | ||

RIP ![]() edit: I was so young when this happened, so I didn't have a CD drive/BW Disc for a long long time until I could beg my parents for a new one, which made it even more traumatic... oh man physical media and CDs... thank god they are obsolete. The scratches, the 5+ CD install games, the times where you put in the CD and forgot to write down the cd keys printed on the disc. I did like the huge cardboard boxes they came in though + real manuals, maps, extras. I still use the mousepad I got with the original Max Payne. | ||
