Played the demo several times.
It is just like the game I know an love
It will never be a replacement for SEIV.

I bought it today. It could never replace SEIV but you can play it and drivk wine at the same time.
(sorry Slynky, that's why my turn was so slow).
The game does require the abilty to optimise:
Concentration of Effort
Ecconomy of Force
Flexiblity
Suprise against humans.

General Woundwort
Maybe you and I should try a PBE game to test it out?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'll be getting the game later today (once the magic of Direct Deposit kicks in). Sounds like a plan. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Sounds good.
Do you use Yahoo Messenger?
If you want to communicate that way please do.
My direct email is:
gryphin@windingstream.com
I'd suggest going through a few test games before we start.

Be careful. The "One More Turn" syndrome is a strong as it ever was with the original.

Re: [OT] Killer Bee Software, Perfect General, and Empire Deluxe
 

I have the game, and am running a test on it now. I must have generated a pretty sparse world, since I have explored about 20% of it and found only 10 cities and no computer players yet!

I'll e-mail you in about a week to trade ideas about map set-up and other parameters.

BTW, anybody else interested?

Re: [OT] Killer Bee Software, Perfect General, and Empire Deluxe
 

Anyone else pick up Empire Deluxe? Anyone else enjoying it as much as I am?
Please PM me if you like or write to me:
gryphin@windingstream.com

This is one fine game.
Full Developer Support
Future development already planned and input from players being solicited and replyed to.
Existing Comunity including Yahoo Groups, Easy Board Forum and a Ladder.
All Graphics Can be modded
Easy to use Map Editor
EAsy to use Senario Editor
Fast Play. Turns can't take an hour.
(that is not a typo).
It is not as complex as SEIV but it is a lot of fun to play (and you can save the turn and come back to it).
EDIT:
Bonus: Bugs? If there are any I have not seen them reported after a week of play.

Try the demo guys. It is not nearly as exciting as the real thing.
