Dan, in the news item you wrote "Column 217- The Final Frontier", when Column 217 is actually "Clash of Civilizations: Presentation Of The Game".

Just wanted to point out that mishap

Good article Mark, I look forward to CoC

Sounds interesting.....we already chatted a little about the economics model within the game so I thought it probably would.

Ah yes in the headline... a minor error. It has been corrected. Thanks for the heads-up.

Thanks for all the kind words guys! I have to admit that I didn't know the article had come out and that's why I haven't been here earlier.

Thanks Dan for putting it up!

Like Vovan said, we need your comments . Things are now coming along nicely with Laurent putting together the real AI, and Richard increasing the depth of the tech model, as well as several others getting important parts of the game going. The next demo should be fairly engrosing, and once we reach that stage, we may start to get more comments than we can handle . I'm looking forward to that .

lots of info in this column, great work on this project. Although I don't have the time to lurk around regularly, especially with hefty weeks at my work and my gaming sessions, It's always good to see developers like you working an enhanced AI and the macro -side of TBS, in fact a "macro" ( but there's always room for micro ) single-player TBS relies on a strong AI - otherwise it will bite the dust. We'll see with a commercialized product like MoO3, but the BTs comments are very positive so far. Some ideas can be taken there.

Thanks Master Marcus, we think we've got a solid approach and our own little niche of the genre. Its just a pain that excecuting the plans takes so long! But the commercial companies weren't producing what I Need to play. . .

Hi panag:

What is so far out? Have you tried the tutorial? It helps a lot with the learning curve.

Buying it??? I wouldn't buy it yet, its only 20% done.

But we've got a bunch of reworked scenarios coming along now that the scenario design stuff is becoming more sophisticated. Check the next demo out when we release it, is should pleasantly surprise you!
