Default Re: Malfadors New Site Is Up WITH SCREEN SHOTS!

Decent eye candy, promising screenshots.

Typo: In the ground facility screenshot (lower right, 8th of eight shots) the word "Ordinance" should be "Ordnance" (no "I"), meaning "weaponry". Ordinance (with an "I") is a municipal regulation.

Thoughts: More complex/detailed game means either more micromanagement or more use of AI ministers, which will probably be much less effective than human players. More options makes it harder to program competent AI functions. I hope MM provides players with more "hooks" into the AI, so talented modders can take up the slack.

It may also take more post-release testing and patching to get the game into an "almost right" state comparable to SEIV Gold's v1.91.

On the other hand the designers seem to have planned some nice features for the game; with luck most of them will actually be implemented.

So overall I guess I'm hopeful, but wary.
