Default Re: So...the customers wont be cheated this time?

Brad has been mentioned in AI professional documents for as long as AI has had any. I was reading about him years before he finally decided that Windows had improved enough to run a trimmed down version of his GalCiv game. Most of the complaints about GalCiv are more from the fact that its AI with a game attached later. Most games tend to be a game with AI attached later. Of course now people are also complaining that adding mltiplayer should be a simple no-brainer (hahahahha WRONG!).

My perfect game would involve bits of many games but I doubt anyone would be able to put it all together into one game. I suspect that Dominions will always be a turn-based send-file hosting multi-player strategy game. That pretty much defines what it will and wont do easily.

But I wouldnt mind a solo-player game with the rock-paper-scissors balance of Dominions and its effort to support so many diffrent tactical styles, the ai of GalCiv, the huge randomized setups of Magic Realm, the player-side moddability of SEIV, the storyline depth of King of Dragons Pass, and run on Linux & Windows.
