    Ah.. good times, so, I have a little thing for all you ancient Alpha/beta players, do you have any silly stories about the game back in this stage of development? I think it's time to reminisce in this time of Gamma!

    I have a story myself, back in Alpha, nukes would do something like.. 1 damage? They were useless and fired off as often as a catapult. Anway, what happened was a couple of my friends were doing a team game 5v5 I think, now, they basically built a bunch of nuke launchers and not to do damage. They built them because all it did was cover their base in particle effect and blind them, they couldn't see where to build or where anything was their enemies complained. My friends eventually won and we all had a l
    A good laugh.

    They have like 6000 health, as comparison I believe the commander is only double that or so... Also, a huge direct upgrade to the inferno..

    I remember when you could get t2 air in 3 mins and t2 bombers could 1 shot any t1 building. Or build 6 at 5 mins and snipe their commander.

    That time when boats could drive over shallow land. It could flatten a whole army of T2 bots in seconds.

    I remember games, when you should keep your commander safe from enemy scouts, because he can select it and delete :-D
