I hope they don\'t use the war3 engine on it though.  I don\'t like the heroes.

not to worry. in a few days I will announce my appointment to all the vacant positions. I promise to make lots and lots of money while subtly brainwashing you to thinking my company actually makes quality games. I will utlise subluminal messages, mind altering radio waves, evangelism and mutant zombies.

Yeah, I like RTS.  Definitely the most play on the internet.  Shit I played starcraft for several years.  No other game has taken my attention for that long.

Well except for Spades on http://www.zone.com
