6/1     I can't wait till Age of Empires III comes out. Everything else
        out there sucks in terms of GUI and playability. Sucky games
        including Rome:Total War, Rise of Nations, and especially
        Empire Earth II (this game has not improved much since the
        first version, SHAME). Emsemble has a great track record, I
        hope they don't ruin AoE3.
        \_ Associates of mine (albeit ones who loved R:TW) say that Cossacks
           is the mutt's nuts.  -John
           \_ I've played Cossacks.  It looks nice.  It plays nice.
              It's just not that much fun.  I blame it on the fact
              it's written by Bulgarians. - danh
              \_ In Soviet Bulgaria, Cossacks play YOU!  -John
              \_ Hey they wrote game called Cossacks, not Bulgarians
                 (A game in which armies of shadowy characters stab
                  each other with poison umbrellas). I have no point
                 here, I just like saying "rupleforeskin" -pvg
