i buy planetary annihiliation !

Noo, Don't do it!

what a breaking news! he bought PA!

PS Whoever wanted to try PA bought it long long ago and now hype is gone.

Does it have any single player?

It does and the AI is not too terrible actually. Admittedly, PA has near zero micro and is more about sending unitblobs at the enemy than controlling individual units.

So you have skirmish, where you can customise the AIs, the teams, the system layout etc.
And then you have a campaign. There is no storyline, just a galactic map with systems controlled by the enemy AIs, and every system battle is basically a skirmish with limited unit unlocks, as you need to unlock some units throughout the campaign.

I'm not sure how I feel about the tiny battle room chat window. It draws more attention to the fact that you're about to start the game, and less towards the pre/after game chatter between players.

Is that a good thing because it focuses players more on starting games and less on bashing nubs? Or is that a bad thing because it is more difficult to communicate with friends / newbies who may not notice the tiny chat window off to the side?

A friend of mine bought PA after he played it some hours, i showed him Zero-k. He said it was better than PA, it doesn't need soo much cpu power and is free.
It has more tactical options and the multiplayer is just soo much fun.



I just say, that I never would buy PA.

yeah, its really hard to some people to stop buying some...
