PlacefileNation was created and is maintained by a team of seasoned meteorologists and weather enthusiasts to provide weather data placefiles for GRLevelX, GR2, GR3, WSV3, and Supercell Wx applications across the United States.
Analyzing radar with reliable data overlays provides a more seamless, worry-free experience. We know this, which is why we manage and monitor our own data feeds. All placefile URLs are permanent — we never break your setup.

Was it perfect? No. Was it ambitious? Absolutely. Let’s dive into why this cult classic deserves a second look from strategy fans. Forget the "Plucky human resistance" trope. Universe at War opens with humanity already extinct. The game’s lore introduces the Hierarchy —galactic parasites who harvest planets by jamming massive drill-tentacles into the crust and sucking up the core. Earth is next on the menu.
Enter the : a hyper-intelligent machine race born from a rebellion against the Hierarchy. They arrive on Earth not to save us, but to stop their ancient enemy from gaining a foothold. Caught in the middle is the Masari —an ancient, psychic, energy-based species who used to rule the galaxy before going into hiding. They view the Novus as upstarts and the Hierarchy as pests. Universe at War- Earth Assault
In the golden age of Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games—the era of Command & Conquer 3 , Supreme Commander , and Company of Heroes —one title often gets overlooked. Released in 2007 by Petroglyph Games (a studio composed of ex-Westwood veterans), Universe at War: Earth Assault attempted to do something audacious. It didn’t want you to command humans . It wanted you to command three wildly asymmetrical alien factions fighting over a planet that humanity had already lost. Was it perfect
