Posts: 5,525 | I read the wiki, doesn't seem like my thing. I really like the problem solving aspects of AoE. It's a lot like chess.

Posts: 5,525 | Yeh, they have promise. U know, I think what I really want is a Cat Sailor virtual paint ball arena.
When anyone says something anyone else disagrees with, we should be able to pull up their avatar and splat them. I would find that very entertaining and more than a tad satisfying. Pun intended.

This could (should) be fun!

Posts: 5,525 | What's a paint ball marker?
Fortunately paint ball did not exist when I was kid or I'd still be in detention.

Posts: 5,525 | I'm actually looking for something a little more engaging, like chess and perhaps with an accurate historical motif. Something in this genre http://www.strategypage.com/militaryforums/410-489.aspxbut without the "cartoon" graphics. I think the U.S. War colleges produce what I'm looking for but I've had no luck on their website.
