I believe I still have (in a box somewhere) boxed copies of OS/2 Warp and Merlin both, as well as the original Galciv for OS/2.
[quote quoting="post"] Is there a way to allow part of a rush/upgrade: 25%, 50%,75%,100%. [/quote] This is a brilliant idea. I would love to be able to choose to dump a couple million credits into a project to take a few turns off but not have to fund the entire thing at once. Also would be interesting to have the ability to accelerate production (at a cost). i.e. "Fund this project at 120% normal production." But it would come at an efficiency cost, lets say 2

[quote who="sauronws6" reply="51" id="3814241"] Epic is 50% owned by a Chinese company, who is wholly owned by the Chinese state. Steam is 100% owned by Americans. Good job on being greedy Stardock. [/quote] I doubt very much it is 'greed'. Not saying there isn't a financial component to the decision, but I've been an SD customer since '93-'94 (multiple products) and watched their growth, their development approach, and their responsiveness to consumers. I suspec

I find this to be somewhat realistic. If this were to happen in real life, especially if the top level government isn't (can't) micromanage every colony, there would be a huge amount of political realignment that takes place and not all of it would be easily intuited. Look at what happened in Africa and southeast Asia vis-à-vis the various European colonizers as regions moved from provinces to semi-autonomous states to independent nation-states. The flow of trade, military forc
How about purely energy based beings which require a gravity well and magnetic field to reproduce, but can survive on any planet with a mass roughly between that of Mars and Uranus orbiting any B, A, or F type star? They require different colonization technology/life support (obviously), have huge head starts on any direct energy based tech, but might be particularly vulnerable to nuclear fission/fusion, antimatter, or magnetically charged rail-gun type weapons. They fun
I have absolutely zero to base this on other than a feeling (and having been playing GC since maybe 93 or 94 on OS/2 before big blue screwed the pooch). My gut feeling is that it won't have tiles at all. Edit : Okay, let me clarify. It may have internalized "tiles" which might be one distance unit of measurement, but I don't think it'll have tiles in a traditional/conventional sense. With today's GPUs and CPUs, memory speed and bus transfer rates
