Thank you :-) But it would also be cool if they added a few "mod-chapters" with such a conversion. Like if you wanted to play the game when the was first starting, or when it's at its worst (WC3). <G>. Try to gather massive resources to build a single Behomoth (With better armiments and armor, of coarse ;-), of to build the T-bomb and some excals prototypes. It would even be cooler if we can try to do both. Use the Behemoth to destroy some planets with the Cats watching. While they gather the bulk of their fleets to stop her fro heading to Kilrah, our Excal squadrens sneak in and blow her up anyway <G>. Have I been reading to much into the tactics in "End Run"? It would be even cooler if they did a WC4 mod, with you playing as the Border Worlders. With much fewer resources then Confed, and forced to steal the stuff from Confed, rather then blow it up. Imagine the problems you'd face when you have to capture that destroy intact, even as it plumeting your carrier to slag! Of coarse, no WC4 would be complete without some Black Widow Dragons in the mix. We could even try to make the Kilrahi a major part in the scenario. Have them try to gather resoucres for us while we fight the pirates and the BL. Or the WCP/SO mod, fight the Bugs back into their space, and take that weird device from SO. Using it, you'll try to take them down and out. Imagine the fight over their homeworld <EG>. > >> Delance << > > ferde...@usa.next > Fix adress for e-mail Until Next Time, The Heart of The Tiger http://www.geocities.com/heartofthetiger/ "The *worst* cross-over ever considered: Mel Gibson's William Wallace/Marylin Monroe's "Seven Year Itch"..." -HoTT.
