The game did start out as an ASL computer simulation, but things did not work out with AH. Because Charles had left out anything that was a copyright of AH and ASL, ie:Rules, for future stages of the programing, BTS was able to walk away with all the work they had done up to that point legally, and ethically. A very smart move I thought. So as far as I've read, that is as close to ASL rules CM ever got. Mord [This message has been edited by Mord (edited 11-29-2000).]

I am loving this. The excitement here is tangible. It's great to see so many happy people. Another fine job fellas! Mord.

Somebody give me a stick or something to put in his mouth before he swallows his tongue! Mord.

Read through all the additions and fixes and having read many of the arguments and discussions for so many of these I know there sure are some happy Gamer's tonight! Excellent job all around fellas. Thank You. Mord.

there's gonna be a stampede. Mord

oh yeah and LYNX! LYNX! LYNX! Mord.

Calm yourself man! (Slap, shake, slap) ummm everybody is over at the LordFluffer's thread on this very same thing. I think it may have sunk outta sight already. Hold steady from what I read very soon we will be in a flurry of downloads that it just may melt our hard drives. It seems many of us are going into withdrawl.

The Idea is interesting for a game, but I don't feel with the CM engine. There is a pretty cool robotics game out that does some of this except for the troops part that you may find fun. It is called Mind Rover. it's probably way off what you are saying but it's a neat little strategy/war/puzzle game that involves alot of vehicle tweaking. It's more along the lines of those robot gladiator contests that MIT? sponsors. Mord.

Absolutely SUPERB! This is definately your best one Dean. Great Job! I used the Grog version for the longest time, it being my favorite, but no longer, this one is awsome! Thanks! Mord.

Well what I am saying is that to me CM was worth over three hundred dollars. I didn't pay that outta my pocket as far as cash goes but I sacrificed that much in software to be able to get it. I understand where you are coming from but to me even 85 is worth the price. If they released CM2 for that price I'd pay it. As far as a distribution center I don't think that is likely. BTS is a very small company. But who knows maybe... Mord

2B I sold 30 of my computer games to get the money for CM. I sold them for 65 dollars. 30 games for 65 bucks...that's ATLEAST 300 dollars worth of games. Most of them were big name games CC2 and 3, Diablo, Starcraft,Age of Empires and so on. I haven't regreted it one iota. Trust me it's worth it. Exchange rate or not you'll get more bang for your buck than from any other game out there. Mord [This message has been edited by Mord (edited 11-28-2000).]

Hi Jesse. Just do what I do. I scan the battle sizes depending on my mood. If you want something fairly quick just play through all the small scenarios. There are tons more out there as well if you weren't aware. Try CMHQ and the ASL CM maps pages. they can all be found in the CM Webring. You'll find lots of new battles From Tiny To Huge. Have fun. Mord

Are you talking ram on the MotherBoard or ram on the 3D card? Or all together? Mord. P.S the 4xFSAA changes everything doesn't it eba? [This message has been edited by Mord (edited 11-27-2000).]

Hi Bill. Yes there is. CM2 will be set in this Theater. Mord

On behalf of the immature I say hello Hey Silver it's funny you brought up Jochen Peiper. I sat and read his little contributions to the forum last night. What an incredible mental case that guy was. Anyway, enjoy Eightball, as you probably already know there is a wealth of knowledge to be gleaned here, have fun! Mord

I understand the part about people ganging up on others because they express an opinion, I've seen this done as well and alot of times it is totally unwarranted. But in the case of poor misunderstood Tris,when you come out of the gate with both barrels blazing for no reason other than to be a jerk I guess you should expect to get pounced on. The way he talked to Kwazy Dog is just one example of MANY, of how dicky this guy is. He is nothing more than a presumptious little kid. He throws out opinions on people and is insulting and the minute anyone says anything about it they are mean nasty beasties and not contributing to CM like he is. "Mommy I was being really good and not doing anything wrong and all the other kids ganged up on me for absolutely no reason whatsoever". That is the argument he basically makes in his "Thick Skin". Like what he said to Steve after Steve stuck up for himself. "This is the way you treat a customer...." I don't know what world he lives in, nor anyone else here,but the background I come from, if you act like this you will eventually be punched in the mouth... repeatedly most likely. And looking at it from this vantage point I don't think that is such a bad thing. I had to laugh when I was called an unwashed cretin. Who the hell talks like that? Until this guy I never met someone who hides behind words. Well now I will retire from the Tris bashing. And if people on here think I and others were a little harsh towards him do some reading. I have never felt more pompously, selfrighteously, arrogantly, right about anything in my life, huh...sounds like someone I know. Mord [This message has been edited by Mord (edited 11-27-2000).]

Here is my opinion based on the fact that I have had 3 different Video cards in the last month installed on my system then taken back because of one issue or another. I started with the Voodoo 4500 32mb, the X2FSAA was very noticable and looked nice. I wasn't sure about FSAA because I had never used it. But at 1024x768 it is quite remarkable. But I had issues with the game leaving little blocks in my menu screens whenever I exited. I took back the Voodooo 4500 and exchanged it for a Hercules Prophet2 MMXAGP 32mB. I didn't get the blocks with this one but the FSAA sucked. After having seen it in action I have to have it when I play. The card ran fine other than that. So I took it back. And now I am using a Voodoo 5500AGP 64mb, it has 4XFSAA and trust me you can really tell the differents in high resolutions. But it is worse for me than the V4500 was. I get the blocks plus if I shrink out to the desk top and then go back into the game it screws up all the text and the unit info. really nasty looking, the only way to change it is to exit the game and restart. I have heard people say on here that you don't need the FSAA if you play in HiResolutions. Don't believe that. The Voodoo 4 and 5 have update drivers that come with a test so you can turn FSAA on and off in game so you can see the differents yourself while you are playing. There is a BIG differents. I'd say try the V5 the x4FSAA is beautiful and maybe you will be luckier than I with the rest of it. you can always return it if you don't like it.

Need to ammend my comment above. It is the summer treebases that are blocky up close. Anyway the entire set is excellent and adds to the in game enviorment superbly. Mord

Yeah well I got the 5500 after taking back two other cards and still have not found one that will play nicely with CM. But as long as I don't do a few certain things the in game graphics stay very nice in X4FSAA. I was to the point where I was gonna scrap the idea of ever having a newer card but just gave up on getting it to work correctly. It seems to work with other games so it isn't so bad. Mord.

So when will this beauty be available?

Tris said:You mean to tell me you cannot conceive of anyone able to go through his life not worried about what other people think of him? No, we can't conceive of someone being such an assh*** for no reason whatsoever other than because his ego is so inflated that he can't think straight because of his swollen cranium. I know you don't care what I think of you nor the others. Your the crusader of all wargames, championing the cause wherever you find it being stomped upon and only your arrogant attitude is worthy of anyone's attention! Without your refreshing, authority defying views all of us weak and uninspired boot lickers would not know the glory of wargamedom as you would have it be. You are the people's champion! Thank god you have arrived! No matter how you RATIONALIZE the methods in which you attempt to enlighten us all with your superior intellect, it still comes out the same. A turd is still a turd even if you tell me it's a rose. You dig? Now go head and tell me to go to bed. Mord.

You proved my point better than I could Tris. All you have to do is type... Mord. [This message has been edited by Mord (edited 11-26-2000).]
