Yes, just that the servers have been issues in the past few days for some reason, hopefully that will get fixed soon

i've been sticking to galactic war and ai skirmish, that part works fine. anything with a server seems down atm (installing new mods does not seem to have any issues though)

People still play it, but the playerbase isn't what it used tobe for sure. Sad this game could of rivaled starcraft 2 if more development was place in it. But PA isn't good for E sports so there you go.

PA can be quite exciting esports wise due to how fast the game moves but allows for decent amounts of downtime, as long as the caster sets a double PIP in both bases which makes up for a lack of minimap.

Issues atm are that single planet maps are the most used by competitive players, where as casual players love doing 10+ planet systems which tends to break crossover feel, not to mention the lack of late game mechanics like deep orbital units, T2, game ending mechanics are not seen in competitive whereas they are very likely seen in casual, causing a disconnect.

I thought i'd jump in here tried to host multiple times this evening, I don't even get region at capacity, just server failed to start...

Clearly the servers are working as I joined other games but I cant seem host one.
