Based off what I remember seeing(keep in mind this is a good chunk ago), there is no RSA imports from the XEX, meaning it doesn't call the kernel to use RSA.

= no rsa.

There also is no RSA key resource in the xex.

So in other words this game should be fairly easy to mod with the right resources?

It doesn't seem to be lzx or zlib.

You tried LZX? Hmm well the xex would be able to tell us then.

Are you going to wait, or do you want an early view of the .xex :wink:

Won my first multiplayer game :) They weren't too good. I managed to destroy one of their expanded bases with one brute pack. He ramped it up though and later attacked one of my bases with a sizable army (including the UNSC uber unit)...Problem was, about 10 seconds into theier assult which they could have won, my scarab arrived :P I cleared the rest of the game using that scarab (didn't even get to use my second one).
Got 4 achievements for winning that match

ScottyGee that doesn't spell correctly? What is "Theier, assult"? Ah I'm just kidding, that's pretty awesome though... gives me an idea at how easy some of the achievements must be. :wink:

Me and INSANEdrive managed to completely flip the coin earlier this week in a live match.
We were loosing pretty badly the other team had: Grizzly, Sparrow hawks and Locust, while insanedrive and the other guy on our team was being beaten i was busy building vampires, banshees and a scarab.
INSANEdrive was down to his last base so i decided better now than never and went for the guy who was using grizzlys base with all i had, the banshees tore the crap out of the base, the vampires held off the hawks and my scarab ripped anything else up, about 20 seconds later his base was gone.
His fleet was in peices and i decided i wanted to go for more.
So i went to the next base ripped that apart and within 5 minutes two out of 3 people were wiped off the map.
By the time the last guy decided he would be better off resigning i had about 5 citadels.
Over 8000 points were earned in that one match.
