Defeat? That's it? No Cool Screen or Something?

So, I played RTI but lost b/c I didn't have the heart to declare war on GB late in the game when I was too busy making Spain give up the entire new world to me. 1825 comes and I get a short dialog box message: DEFEAT! Main Menu or Continue. Is that it?!?!? They really blew the special effects budget on that one! It reminds me when I played Balance of Power (US vs. USSR strategic political contest) on the IBM 2086 and if you accidentally started a nuclear war (which means both sides lost) you received the following message: "If you were expecting a mushroom cloud, forget it - we do not reward failure." lol...

Yup.

And BoP rocks!

You mean the intro where the ship's gunports are already open before they see the enemy, IN A STORM??

Confirming that intro movie sucked.
