The Ahorans Time flows backwards for the Ahorans. Each conversation begins with parting words, and you are expected to question their answers in an appropriate manner, else they get very upset as their timeline is violently disturbed. They refrain from telling you of the future, as it is considered very impolite, but are keenly interested in history, and ancient artifacts, as it is their future. Their ship is fairly standard, except that it boasts the anti-aging gun, which tra

I loved how in MoO you could frame others for espionage and get them mad at each other. (and it was infuriating, but in a good way, when it happened to you)

Would've been nice to get the images in a zip (or to open in a window instead of downloading). But I guess it's moot since Early Access is right around the corner...

While you're technically right, if they were using Nitrous tech, you'd expect them to announce it given that the announcement mentions Tachyon, which is arguably less fundamental and exciting to announce (though they could be saving it for later). Anyway, I'm just trying to goad them into commenting on it :)

I spent quite a lot in the last two-three years - probably around 1500-2000$ - but most of it on Kickstarters.

I also think it's multiplayer, given Stardock Austin and the infrastructure they're creating. Maybe some sort of MOBA with mass combat?

Question is, does ai *need* a 100 billion neurons to rival us? After all, it can cut away many useless functions that needn't be present in every unit. The one thing that scares me, though, is that they might find out the only way to get it to actually do significant work is to seek satisfaction.

In Warlock, you were able to convert excess cities to Free Cities that would not count towards the maximum city number limit. They provided some small bonus (either gold, mana or fortification), but could not construct buildings / units, and could not be converted back to full cities. There was also a penalty on productivity for cities that were of a different race, which posed an interesting moral and gameplay dilemma (do you raze a Free City of a different race to unl
