Twenty bucks later, that game was mine. This is its story. While installing Mankind , and idly wondering why I'd never heard of it since, you know, I try to keep track of all the new and promising game developers I can crush underneath my iron heel, I read the box packaging. Ooh, dreaded galactic Empires. Sounds good so far.
Time never stops.
And I thought Sovereign was going to be the first game which actually interrupts my staff meetings to inform me that the Zarquon Hierarchy was ass-raping my corpse. Since I'm a Republican, I approve of exploiting the teeming hordes. I anxiously fired up Mankind and spent the next fifteen minutes or so staring at the patcher, complete with helpful ad banner. IRC at the time, and asked for advice at this point. I stared at the screen coldly.
