How replayable is this game? 14 missions, 6 other types of missions (don't understand the difference, I guess one is in series). So after you beat the 20 missions, the replay value is gone isn't it?

Random starts/resources would be VERY nice, but I don't see that in here.

:cry:

They are currently working on a utility (not sure if it is for Palm or PC, or both) where you can create maps. Also, they are working on a multiplayer/skirmish mode for you to use the maps. Also, there are 14 story missions, 1 demo mission, and 5 challenge missions. The game is very replayable, I think, and I have several levels I like to go back too. ;)

Replayability? Let's just say it is just as absorbing the second time around - set to the hard level. I take the bus to work and have missed my stop more than once while playing this. I get so aborbed that time flies by at Warp 9. Doesn't happen to me with other games or when reading ebooks.

I like to try to beat each level using different techniques. Sometimes I'll build an enormous force, and others I'll devise ways to cripple my enemy before I attack. The latter is more fulfilling, since it is easy to overwhelm enemy forces by sacrificing you're own men. It is much more challenging (and time consuming) to keep your death toll to a minimum while still delivering justice upon your enemies.

Using these two techniques effectively doubles the number of missions. When you throw varying levels of difficulty into the mix, you get 120 missions.

20 missions x 2 techniques x 3 difficulty levels = 120 missions

If difficulty level is something of very little interest to you, just using two different techniques still gives you 40 missions.

When the editor comes out will I be able to "create" my own missions ? this might be a "skirmish" workaround ???

The quick answer is yes, you will be able to create your own games. which you will hopefully share with others :)

Cool then the skirmish issue is solved. if everyone just makes a few that is an awful lot of "skirmish" maps :-)
