Acronyms.

I was a bit unhappy when FTL started to catch on for the focusless/leaderless method. I always thought of it as 'for the lose'.

it's a fair question. The OP is trying to post things to get past the noob limit. Better than fdswerg like I read a couple times.

Found this looking up IMBA

A gaming lingo.
imba (short for imbalanced) is derived from Strategy games (e.g. Warcraft) or MMOs. It is usually used to describe when a player or a character gets way too powerful to defeat that it becomes unfair/impossible for the opponents to play against him.

Whod a known WoW is a strategy game opposed to an MMO :eek:

Oh you youngun - back in the day warcraft was a REAL TIME STRATEGY GAME. It was so good, they made, like, 2 sequels, and multiple expansion packs. Then they went and made some bigger game called WORLD OF warcraft. And that was, like, totally different from the warcraft game, which was, you know, totally a real time strategy game. Or somethin.

Yeah.. one of my greatest regrets was buying Ultima in New York, travelling back home to Paris and then realising it wouldn't load on my Apple IIgs so never played it. Had to stick to Wizardry hehe. I was only 8

First RTS I can remember playin was C&C on my uncle's computer, don't know what model it was. To this day, I have yet to play the first Warcraft and/or expansion for it. Played and beat 2 and 3+FT many times tho. Never played any of the Ultima games tho.
