How come you're not playing the game? Too much work or isn't it out there yet? and YES, the overlord tanks are much, much better than the mammoths:cool: Notorious SMC

I think they give a certain adrenaline rush to the game when someone launches a superweapon ;) And IMHO, the superweapons aren't that powerfull. BTW, If your opponent has the chance to stockpile 8 nuke silos, you have to be doing something wrong ;P Notorious SMC

I just hate having to keep an eye on groups of troops or else they be obliterated in one shot:mad:
