1) DON'T SHOUT. We can all hear you just fine. Err... see you. Whatever. 2) Punctuation is key. That has GOT to be the longest freaking sentence I've ever seen. I know you're excited, but... 3) Be slightly creative. It's not too terribly difficult to link up with people who also play the game. I'm in 2 PBEM games now, one with 7 players one with 3, and it took all of 5 hours to get those both rolling. Lots of people want to play. Don't like PBEM? That's fine - post that you're looking for a live game. Response will be less enthusiastic (because most people can't afford the 8 hours it'd take to play against a decent player), but you'll find someone. Just be patient, my friend. The caps lock key is located on the left side of the keyboard, and punctuation is found either on the bottom or second-from-the-top rows. Remember these two key items, and games shall come. Just sit back and watch the learning take place. RockGroin |

Nevertheless, Alpha HQ is dead for now 3 !!! days. I always observed several problems with that but it's the first time so long. Firaxis should establish an other soon with better performance and better support.

I wonder, though, if it's Firaxis or EA which ought more properly be blamed? |

i think its EA we should blame. but how many of u guys can actually say out there that SMAC worked 100% in single player granted my machine maybe really screwed up but when i play AOE or C & C my comp works at 150% efficientcy so i think we should blame EA for AlphaHQ and Firaxis for the game.Seth5454 |

Hm. I can. I can't recall AC ever crashing or displaying any other signs of errors. In multiplayer, some odd stuff has happened, but that's another thing.Actually, it's one of the more reliable games I have... |

I GOT IN. It would appear HQ is back up. Not staying long, but worth trying again. |
