Hm... does the creator have a web page or something? You know, something other than a download link.
It has become clear to me in the previous days that any attempts at reconciliation and explanation with the community here has failed. I have tried my best. I really have. I pored my heart out trying. But it was all for nothing.

You win. There, I have said it.

Now there is only one thing left to do. Let us see if I can sum up the strength needed to end things once and for all.

from the youtube page of the first video, the creator is a random guy in a forum.
this is his thread

I just hope he isn't blatantly violating copyright on the game content like I think he is doing. :wtf:

It's a fan game, by definition he's violating copyright pretty heavily. But from that thread he's saying it's 'not a mod'... seems a little excessive to make a whole new game for a thing that'll be cease and desist'd as soon as Lucasarts hears about it.
And also one of the ingredients to making a pony is cocaine. -Darth Fanboy.

I gave it a try, but I couldn't keep up with the AI (it's a very fast game - or maybe I'm just getting too old for this shit). I couldn't scroll down for a reason (unless I used the map), so it wasn't practical to play for me.

at first i thought it was an EaW mod, but it looks almost like it's using the same engine as Battleshipsforever

I thought that the AI was a little too fast to. I was not so sure if I was slow or if the AI just was quick at attacking.

Tried it... damn the AI throws big stuff fast, even on the easy difficulties...
I tried building up like the AI does, throwing out tons of resource gatherers at the same time, and I still get swamped by BIG enemy ships before I've got my third mid-level one out. I simply cannot win a skirmish game without severely restricting the money and unit cap of the AI... which is silly.

The AI needs major improvement. But it is still a fun game.
