P.S. 'Mercan made! IN 'MERCA!

'Merca #1! I want me a gun that fires gunz!

-THAT ought to keep it bumped a few days...

[Aeson]

Thanks BU, I saved a few bucks on the last GOG sale.

[Wiglaf]

I bought it and can't alt-tab it. Even in Beyond Earth you can alt tab. HOW DO I ALT TABBING?

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Dang. I've seen Petek go over the ALT tab thing with people a hundred times and never remember the trick(s). CFC's down this weekend while they migrate server hosts, so I can't go look. PM Petek here if you're in a hurry to fix that, I guess.



P.S. Fer byoootiful, fer spacious skys, fer gerns gerns gerns gerns gerns!

[rah]

bad weekend for CFC to be down. I was going to go there to get some basic strats for the game.
For less then 3 bucks I couldn't resist and finally bought it. Thanks for posting this BU.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

There's a better forum for that you know, outside Petek's tech help and lots of good stuff right here onsight in AC.

In fact, try this: http://alphacentauri2.info/SMACX%20B...Crossfire.html -It's a way too long beta page I put up recently for googling-bait, and desperately in need of formatting and editing for bevity, but just exactly the info you're looking for.




P.S. ... Uh, - U.S. the Best! Screw the rest! Guns!

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Okay Wigs, I found this: http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php...31373#msg31373

if you are using the GOG release, you are going to need to rename your terranx to something else to get around the hard lock on alt-tabbing.

-Dunno if that actually works, but Green1 has done a lot of AARs w/o his computer eating him, so it must, and sounds easy. Good luck, Senator.






P.S. Jeezus will shoot your sheep! With his 'Mercan Gun! USA! USA! USA!

[N35t0r]

There's also Dungeon Keeper 2 and Theme Hospital on sale, those bring back memories!

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

...And Sim City 2000 Special Edition & Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition...









P.S. Mexico and points south think we ain't religious ENOUGH. Which is it, yew Gawdless Furriners?

[rah]

Well I did find velociryx's intro strat guide on the site that shall not be named. It's looks good enough to get the basics and get started. But it's one of those that I don't know enough to know if it's really any good. But he has known what he was talking about on other things so it's probably ok.

[BlackCat]

don't know if it's really any good

No reason to worry - it won't dissapoint you.

Edit : By the way, there is a site here where the game is discussed

[rah]

Thanks. It wasn't high on the list when I searched but really should have checked here first. DOH

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

lots of good stuff right here onsight in AC.

Like any good, wholesome, All-Man, square-dealing, American, I did say that, and have NOT mentioned the hyperlink in my sig (to a Great SMACX-focused Forum that also hosts Vel's Guide v.4, BTW). The beginners-specialized guide I linked is an isolated page...

'Merca!

[OneFootInTheGrave]

If I try hard enough I will still find original CD's somewhere.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

I just want to mention that Wales lost the Important Country Game around 800 years ago in a conquest defeat, not that it was EVER even in the running, EVER, and the US has been #1 for 60 years staight - and petty jealousy is just an ugly thing from a wholly-owned suburb of England. I wholly-own two guns.
