Skynet would have suicidal tendencies!? If it hi-jacked Harpoon to run it's armies and fleets, it would soon find that the torpedoes it fired would come circling back towards the ships that fired them! (True story)

One mistake, and you're sliding down the razor blade of defeat, and a dull, rusted, and poisoned blade at that.

It's just a little eBook on how he created BoP. If you like, send me an e-mail addr and I'll send it on to you.

IIRC it cheats because it has few, if any, restrictions on build times for the AI's armies. So if you wipe out the one they have, they'll pop out another one in a couple turns right quick.

No games for now. Too busy. But I come back here from time to time for nostalgia.
