Assassinated by a ruthless AI ::sad face::

SPACE!  Also robots!  Killer death robots!  I'm not sure how I let AI War slip through the cracks until now, but this was the first time I played it.

Which was a mistake on multiple levels.

The game is fast, brutal and complex, with 1-8 human players (no bots), up against 2 AI that are clever and well-equipped.  I certainly wasn't experienced enough to get anywhere close to a win on my first playthrough, especially on hard difficulty, by myself.

Also, its an amazing game.  I was so engrossed that over a nearly four-hour campaign I only managed to take six screenshots.  I think I made a halfway decent showing of myself.

Because I promised:

This is what my screenies look like in AoE 1 and 2.   Actually, the attempts from 1 weren't even this good.  Oh well, done with those anyway.
