Atari has gone the way of the titanic 3 times, the name is cursed... the current incarnation contains elements of no less then 3 decimated companies that have been "bought out" when the atari name destroyed them... I belive the current incarnation is acctually "Interplay" or "Hasbro Interactive"...

edit: I have not facts whatsoever to back up these statements, so don't ask...

Maybe someone in France should give them a call and see if they will release OTA into the public domain, or at least release the unit related content.

If it weren't long distance, I would do it myself. If I spoke French.

*sighs* yeah it is more demanding then warcraftIII.

however, it also has MANY features that would explain that like:

Larger maps
Larger see-able area
Larger armies

I can honestly tell you that I borked the unit cap once for wc3... and 3 players at a 250 food limit was eating my fps.
