Achron — an RTS With Time Travel

An anonymous reader writes "As much as I'm looking forward to StarCraft 2, there's a new RTS gaming tech that has me even more enthused. The Escapist Magazine has posted interviews and footage of the upcoming 'meta-time strategy game' Achron, which was announced at GDC earlier this year. It's a multiplayer RTS where you can send things through time. The official site has some gameplay footage as well, and it looks like their tech is useful outside of gaming."

    I have this image of black people being 13% of the population but appearing in 90% of all USA advertisements. It's just as racist as anything else since they were obviously chosen for their skin color, but it appears to help them so it gets ignored. Welcome to political correctness. Gee I wonder why these blatant attempts at social engineering haven't given us a colorblind society yet.

    Oooh that's right. It's been so long since I've had to view adverts on this site that I forgot that Hasbro/Wizards advertises here. Please, slashdot, don't make it seem like that's the case and allow one of these articles through.

    Pathfinder seems simply to be an extension to D&D 3.5- I am hard-pressed to see how it's 'pretty much shaking up the entire gaming community'.

    Because its popularity exposes the travesty that is D&D 4.0.

    Because it exposes the travesty that is D&D 4.0. The market for an update of the older edition is huge.

    Additionally, the game was developed in a collaborative manner with alpha and beta editions available to players at no cost. This type of thing is of interest to the community at large.

  6. But does the game have LAN support? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Starcraft schmarcraft. No LAN no fan. Will this game succeed where Blizzard has failed?

    All you have to do is blow them all up. Deal with it.
