I maxed out my tech skills to complete my first winning game. The first two tries failed with all dying.
I agree with those that are asking "what now?" This game is more than a bit dissappointing. Most games, even regular non-realtime games last much longer than this to get to the end - and that's even with playing them for longer periods at a time. Kind of a bum deal for $20 imo.
Also, even this forum is kinda messed up - there is no "post" button so it's like this big mystery how you actually display your own post??
