<r> How could no one in here not mention George Carlins' famous rant on sports?<br/>

I bought it a couple of weeks ago--but it was largely a result of having read this AAR. (Been somewhat interested in it before, but didn't realize the scope of random games and the mechanics).

Well done!

I found a nice easy way to make symbols is to use some of the specialized dingbat fonts that people have made for Truetype. You can convert them to a bitmap (and switch the color to white) and--voila. Instant symbols ...

<t> Maybe this should go in the mods forum, but I'm contemplating doing a mod --looking for mainly random battles.<br/>

My question is, would it be better to make the units "mirror images" of each other stat wise, or have slightly different values for SF's and try to balance through cost?<br ...
