   Hi folks!
   A couple of days ago the game "Deep Quest" was available as a GGOTD. It's a quite nice and interesting Real-Time-Strategy Game with a few minor flaws (fussy game play and controls, strangely behaving mouse cursor, etc.). Also, the graphics is not properly all the time, but I've got a rather old graphics card so I can't really blame the game itself.

   However, since a couple of days I'm lost. Either I'm too dumb or the game is too difficult. Has anyone completed the level called "Striking Back" yet?

   I've played it at least a dozen times but I was never even close to a solution. The enemies attack so furiously that I hardly have a chance to built a proper army. There's an enemy base camp in the northwest corner of the map but it's so heavily guarded that all attempts were unavailing so far. Last night I played this level for more than an hour, fighting back all attacks until I've reached a point where all the crystal ressources close to my coral forts expired and I couldn't train new soldiers. Highly frustrating....

   Does anyone have a clue how to win this level?
   Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
   Kind regards,
   Maui.

   Sorry, I've barely had time to play the game since it was given away. My Christmas presents (bought for myself I may add) have really kept me busy so far this year. As I wrote in another thread somewere, I'm also catching up on games I bought nearly a year ago that were put to one side without even being played partly due to the then new game giveaway.

   I tried googling for walk throughs and hints to no avail, so you may have to just work through it as best you can.

   If you really like rts games I have several that I no longer play, in particulat Age of Empires (gold edition), Cossacks (Polish Edition and Tiberium Wars, which I'd gladly send to you, but you'll have to contact the moderators to see if they will release my Email to you so that you can give me your address to send the games to.

   I have a digital download of Empire Earth (from fileplanet, bought through Direct2Drive) as well, but I need to finish off a few things in that one still. (I'm thinking of buying the latest version of it (v3), so when I do you can definitely have that one as well. You can get demo's of the games from most games sites such as Fileplanet, filefront or fileshack, or (probably better) Gamerz Hell

   Age of Empires III (The version I'll be giving you if you want it is the first one (or is it the second, I'm not sure now, lol), but the gameplay is basically the same)

   Cossacks:Napoleonic Wars (I'll be giving you Napoleonic wars and European wars if you want them)

   Empire Earth:

   Apart from the Cossacks demos, the other two are the latest versions with really cool graphics, but all versions have basically the same game play. All of the above are much better than Deep Quest in my opinion as rather than beng set to chapters that you have to win to progress, they are totally open ended. You just keep on building and fighting till you win or lose. When I first started playing Cossacks I was amazed at large scale battles you could have. hundreds of units facing each oter off, with cannons firing and cavelry charging, is a sight to behold. The number of units you could have on the screen run into the thousands; with several different modes of game play, these games have so much replayability. I'm presently (have been for quite a few years now) into First Person and simulation games, so my rts gaming has suffered massively, though I did recently purchase company of Heroes and am thinking of buying World in Conflict as well as the latest version of Empire Earth as they look so brilliant to play. You can just about buy rts games that cover every major conflict ever as well as futuristc ones. Empire Earth is probably a good one to start with though as it gives you the oppertunty to coose from several epochs including future ones.

   I do hope someone can help you with Deep Quest though.
