Comment In future releases... (Score 1) 245

In future releases, this single person will be able to select a subset of these drones by clicking and dragging the mouse to form a rectangle over the desired units and assign sub-group numbers by pressing ctrl-n (where n is 1 to 9) on the keyboard. The most equipped drone will also be able to pick up ancient scrolls lost in the valleys of Afghanistan which would enhance its armor and features, such as Insightful +3 for improved vision. By the way, the command center is being built within the U.S. base in South Korea.

Midieval dark ages come to mind. Can you think of others? I'm discounting natural phenomena, because we couldn't help it.

In fact it's also a further proof mediocre species like us deserve only painfully long and lonely death throwing nuclear warheads or 30000-lb bombs at each other. Those more capable civilizations gobble up themselves swiftly with black holes.
