I’m sorry to hear that the game’s still a Tier 3 race like TA’s Bertha dynamic, but I think I still prefer that to the lack of power, size or subtlety in most games. For the experts the answer is that he should’ve been hurting too much to get the killer tech before you could react, and for cheerful incompetents like me, it simply doesn’t matter.

Someone else whom I “know” gets TA!…though I bought it on release, got in embarrassing fourteen-year-old forum flamewars with Dark Reign 2 fans, and played it on my poor choking 16MB P90 :) It really is puzzling that people still haven’t implemented so many of the innovations it left lying around, ten years later; I’ve barely been able to play an RTS since. Homeworld‘s story and reasonable attempt at command tools pulled me through, and if you haven’t played Battlezone it’s brilliant and has the same “useful assistant” feel to its interface and AI – albeit in a vastly different tactical setting.

I feel this is at least a bit related. Games as “lead users” for computer-human interface advancement: http://lostgarden.com/2006/02/software-developments-evolution.html
