You're insulting our code aren't you? We should fight to death to defend 
it! ;-)

More seriously, it's clear lots of parts of glob2 are far from perfect. But do 
not forget that the code has been written over a period of more than 7 years, 
during which the speed and amount of memory of computers changed a lot. Some 
of the original design choices were required by the low amount of memory 
available then. Nevertheless the general game design (units, buildings, and 
co.) and support framework (libgag) is still ok after all those years. But I 
agree that some parts of the implementation would seriously need a rewrite.

Have a nice day,

Steph
