Everyone says Waterworld was crap. Can't really agree with that, while far from a masterpiece I found it quite solid and entertaining. The italian z-grade films from the 80's OTOH *are* crap, Waterworld is far better. Maybe it's just me...
While annoying I liked the upkeep system too. I often had enough units to go into low upkeep which is quite acceptable. You "only" loose 30% of the gold. The worst thing about the game is still the graphics. Why use 3D when StarCraft (and WarCraft II) looked *much* better?
I liked WC3 to some extent. I hated the graphics though. And there was too much micromanagement in WC3 for me. Overall SC is a far better game.
Other RTSes I really liked are Age of Empires II (I really liked the unit system) and Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War.
Well, if you have a hard time you can always return later when you've gained some levels and/or better equipment... But bursting from point blank range usually does it too if you get a critical.
Not necessarily. That's how film scripts are made as well. First you come up with a quick idea, which when written down is around 2-5 sentences long. Then you make a treatment which is around 1-2 pages long. From that you make a script which usually is ca 90-120 pages long...
Especially with 2x Bonus Ranged Damage since it gives +80 damage with the (Avenger) Minigun. However, Bozar still rules since there's no need to swap ammo.
