For Empire Deluxe Enhanced Edition see Killer Bee software at http://www.killerbeesoftware.com/kbsgames/edee/
I don't know how they might or might not be related to previous producers of Empire games.

Oh, and as for Remote Assault, I think it is a very well done combined-arms real-time tactical game. I find the AI quite difficult to beat, perhaps largely because I haven't mastered the tactics, and it seems to use them pretty well. In theory, I should play it a lot more than I do - it was only really the setting which didn't grab me.

Hey that's right! I forgot I had Empire Delux Masters Edition, it was 2.50 at a library sale I gotta dig that one up. That's a good game, takes a little while to get through a game and the graphics are a little oldish, but yes that is the sort that I'm lookig for. I may well get the updated version of it.

As for the sale I tried and liked the demos of Remote Assault and TWE, and they are now sitting on my desk

. Horse I tried, but I already have Interstellar trader to satisfy my economy gaming needs.

I'll try out the people's tactics and the others mentioned, thanks for the recomendations.

Thanks PvK, I downloaded the demo and all I can say is "My God! The infantry and bombers are still the same icons from the original game". White Wolf produced the 2nd version of Empire Deluxe. I forget the orginial producers of the game. It was just called "Empires" a DOS based game that was ruined by that virus known as Windows. It was a good game back them and still looks good, although it's much more complex now.
