    I could have gone maybe one more week, but bi-weekly does seem more reasonable. Tournament videos will probably take up a slot most of the time. The orbital warfare tourney will miss out on a featured video, but I predict this contest will have the evil twins promo video, and the next one will have the grand prix promo video.

    I was planning on posting this one myself. Folks may overlook it because it's a long video, but it's really an excellent cast featuring solid orbital play, hilarious incidental collisions, and top shelf commentary. Give it a watch if you have the time.

    Not sure my boss would approve of using a second monitor at work to watch PA videos unfortunately :(

    This one was awesome!!! Didn't know the moons could ricochet with incidental collisions! Does this also happen with planned smashes? ;)

    Nice little mod! First time I laid some mines I was like 'I don't want them in a circle...' ;) A line makes a lot more sense. It'd be nice if you could adjust the depth on the fly though, two mines deep doesn't seem like enough for a really wide strip.

    Hi @zihuatanejo ! :)
    Before game, the mod may be adjusted from one strip deep to however many you prefer. We have found that one strip just isn't quite enough; and four or more take up too much room at one time as units will not build over your mines. Since they cannot be adjusted mid-game, you could set yours to be one strip and then just have the fabber(s) build as many lines as you want; which would take extra time in clicking of course. We have seen depth of two strips kill ten, fifteen, or even more tier two tanks. The kill rate also depends on whether the attacker has a unit that could actually have a visual on the mines. Thanks for the *like and responding! :)

    A rather fantastic game between PA Gods and Promethean on the Hot Sausage system.

    Yes, it totally can! An incoming (smashing) planet can strike another planet causing damage to one or both.

    Random idea: the main menu should have a link to a page that redirects to the newest video contest, so you can get to know the contest exists just by viewing the main menu.
