OT- Weird worlds and PA
 

As yuo might see, Tycho over at Penny Arcade likes Weird Worlds. He also mentions Sword of the Stars, but he loves GalCiv 2. I quote

"GalCiv2 is, I think it accurate to say, en route to being the definitive star empire simulator. They're rarely made anymore, which I suppose improves the odds. More than that, however, is that Stardock is focused on making a full-fat, no excuses, honking angular Imperial Throne for you to recline in and manage your worlds. I think it's understood that if you want to succeed with this sort of thing, concessions need to be made to the market gods re: mechanical complexity."

I am wondering if he knows about SE4 and SE5 and if not should he be told.

He was also a big MOO3 player, even when it became clear that it was a flop. He loved the spreadsheet mentality of it, iirc.

I don't understand how Sword of the Stars just all of a sudden comes out of nowhere and they are talking demo in a few weeks and release in a couple of months, but we dont really know when SEV is coming out after waiting for years....

I'm jealous.
