Sisko, that sounds pretty damn tough. Hopefully, there would be bottlenecks you could use to hold off the onslaught. At least Lal hates Yang's guts. I do know copters would be a godsend. I would have to go all chemical and nukes against those odds. What's one more enemy in Lal?

Too bad it is not for SMAX. I like the fungal towers and spore launchers and feel like I am missing something if my game does not have them.

I set up something kind of like that in Civ 4 with 1 ally vs 8 allied opponents. I held off decent for centuries, then it went downhill. BU or someone should do a hopeless odds survival scenario at some point for SMAX GotM as a tribute to the hardcore days of yore.

actually, the GotM team has made a very hard scenario but, even though we had some feedback from the players, there were no submissions for that GotM, so we decided not to go that route again. i'm talking about the June 2012 GotM: 'Market Forces'. i can make it available here again, if you feel trying it. just let me know. :)

I don't recall seeing "Market Forces".  Was it posted to this forum?

What is WPC?  Why not post it here?

I would be interested in a trying out the re-release.

Not sure if I have the time this month. School + Finding more work has been kicking my ass and has made it hard to concentrate on gaming lately. Even had to drop WoW :(

But it is all good. Thanks for the offer, though:)

Which btw, I have Kyrubs SMAX patch Plus. Is that compatible with saves for GOTMs and MP? Never heard anyone say anything about those.
