Puzz, I agree, but ... STW/MI is far superior to the crap being shoved down our throats today. If nothing else ... the equality of choice, the planning and method (s) are missing in todays renditions.

Why don't they simply go directly to WWI, and prove the futility of war. Period.

IMHO, the STW series atleast had honor - those that did not show respect to others were molified or ignored. Today, it simply does not matter. Something has been lost, and the community simply is not the same.

Still, it is just a game .... and getting a corporation (s) to understand the possibilities of creating a lasting venue of a series for a game maybe difficult for them to comprehend. Maybe in fact it is an impossibel deal. Then again, would you be willing to pay $20 a year to continue playing STW? Or, more?

I mean there are chumps out there creating "starwars" empires paying by the hour.

Just a thought. nadda mores.
