I feel old for being twice as old as NS when SC came out
Lately haven't had that much time for anything, besides TF2 on weapons and my Falcon 4.0 RedViper campaign. God that game is living proof of what modding communities can do - 10 years, and this is still undisputably the best modern combat sim in existence, and probably still the only game where a full-scale strategic conflict is modeled in real-time 3D and the player can fully participate in it on a tactical level. Shame games have gotten so much less ambitious since the 90s.

The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

Clear Sky stutters too much in populated areas on this PC, so I thought I'd go back to my old staple, Europa Universalis III: In Nomine. They've just patched it to 3.1, and apparently they were TOO good at patching it. The AI played much like Poland, tried to put up a fight, made it kinda interesting, but was ultimately quite pathetic. It fought to win, and blew it every time. Now though, it, if you go by all the bitching, steamrolls half the players. I've seen new people join the forums JUST to bitch about hard it is and they want to go back to an earlier patch. It hardly even cheats. Naval attrition is the only thing I'm aware of the AI gets a definite bonus in. It now evades, puts up a bloody good fight, knows how to use it's armies, retreats, still kinda botches attrition but so do most players. It won't even lay down it's arms if it has a chance. Much like the player would. It's still playing to win. And now it does. 
(Actually, now that I've gotten into, it's giving me a fair run for my money too.
