Need more be said?

What you don't see: Kas' cities being obliterated by the enemy's retaliatory strike.

Because it didn't happen, I had researched the Missile Shield.

Science + Military + Billion Dollars (Few Hundred) = Shield

Missile + Shield = Miles Missed (Few Hundred)

What game is this? Looks like it's built on half and half an engine of Empire Earth and Age of Empires. I think I know which one it is, but I can't think of the name of it right now.

That appears to be a screenshot of Rise of Nations.

Though I can't tell if it's the expansion pack or not.

Brutus got it. It's the demo for the Rise of Nations expansion.

I have that game, but haven't played it at all. For some reason I bought, installed it, but haven't played it at all.

I'll wire you five bucks via paypal if you'll send it to me.

heh, Indeed, the Nuke strike looks reminicent of Empire Earth, but I woulda added Sid Miers Alpha Centuri instead of Age of Empires...
