37 miles in 60-75 minutes. The first 25 miles are easy (toll roads) but the last 12 are through downtown on crowded highways... Houston traffic sucks and public transportation is virtually non-existent...

Reznaak, I do agree with that. I did find myself in the same situations of AOEII had, but the graphics and god powers were enough for me to try and I wasn't disappointed. With that said, if they come out with an AOM2, I'd have to have some gameplay improvement/innovation to keep playing.

I've been off the board for a few days, so I'm probably late on the MVP talk, but everyone is focusing on how ARod wasn't as valuable because the Rangers finished dead last. But how bad would they have been with an average AL SS instead? They finish a lot lower, maybe on the order of 10 games...

I thought attacking from a hill had no bearing on the outcome, just the defense terrain... that might explain some of the outcomes.

Yeah, every day you can move players around so that you can maximize your scoring. I shouldn't have said anything. If I lose, I have no one to blame but me now.

I answered this on the Yahoo! site. If you have a player that is active on Monday and then you bench him Tuesday, if you look at the matchup screen after, the most recent position will show. In other words Griffin, Payton and Houston were all active before this day, but were moved to the...

Barron, I am from Texas and I went to the Sam Houston Institute of Technology (well, really Sam Houston State University) and agree with the Colonel that most of your ideas couldn't be implemented... it's nice to see on CFC that some else knows our little acronym for the school I so dearly love.

Dell, from what I remember, the God powers are implemented well. You only get one per age and they don't regenerate. Not all are designed to reign destruction of you enemy. Some are designed to improve production for either a limited time or longer, some are designed to give your troops a...

Just to update the AOM, I've gotten through about half of the single player campaign and am pretty happy. There doesn't seem to be a lot of change from the previous AOE games, but the new units and choice of deities makes it a little more interesting. Graphics are just outstanding though. It...

Yeah, Randy deserved it as he cemented the award with an ungodly September record while Schilling struggled. Up to that point, I was pretty even, but Schilling got pegged late and it cost him. I liked the pick of Hinske. No other rookie in the AL had the pub or the numbers to unseat. Jennings...

Yes, came out yesterday. Microsoft put a 3PM local time restriction on it's release, but I got it and played with it last night. Got through the first two mission on the beginning campaign. And so far, it lives up to they hype and then some. The graphics are AMAZING. :cool: I'm interested in...

The first time I loaded I had a CTD, but since then nothing. The additions for single player is worth the upgrade, IMO. I've enjoyed the changes. The AI is a little bit better and the game seems a little tougher too.

I just called my local GameStop and they've got it. I'll be picking it up on the way home from work.

Simon: Well, I am American and isn't that how we are interpreted by everyone else: silly and worried about money? :) I guess we'll just agree to disagree. I didn't mention anything about school sport. You may have misinterpreted my comment part about 12-year olds playing in a sandlot as...

I think everyone might be missing the distinction between a game and a sport. People are focusing on the activity involved as their determination of what is or is not a sport. But in reality, sports are all just organzied games or leisure activities. Baseball, play by 12-year old kids in a...
