But battleships than can shoot 5 screens away? (maybe further?) No thanks. It was even farther than the dreadnought unit of RA2, which was at least balanced by patriot missile systems. TA doesn't touch SC in any regard. | ||

I remember being on the Blizzard forums, after SC and SC:BW came out, and TA fanboys would routinely 'raid' the Blizzard forums en masse,'pimping' their game and trolling/talking a great deal of smack about SC and Blizzard. After a bit too much of this, SC fans then started 'counter-raiding' the Cavedog TA forums en masse, much to the surprise and anger of TA fans.  It finally died down after awhile, when it sort of became beyond obvious that SC had far eclipsed TA in terms of popularity... it became harder to talk smack from the TA side of things. TA: Kingdoms (which, according to some TA fans at the time, was supposed to "bury" Starcraft) didn't meet with much success, and Cavedog itself being shut down in 2000 ended the rivalry, at least to any reasonable person. But today, you can still find old TA fanboys talking about their game, and inevitably, certain as clockwork and the sun rising in the morning, they will nearly always add, "It was better than Starcraft!!!". With those guys, that train always runs on time.  SC fans scratch heads about that, but I think maybe TA fans think that things would've turned out very differently if Blizzard and SC had not been there, and that their beloved Cavedog would still be around today. But, maybe not. Cavedog's biggest talent, TA creator Chris Taylor, left Cavedog in '98 to found his own company. Not sure how good they would've been even without Blizzard allegedly 'stomping on their dreams'. User was warned for this post | ||
