Lowa11 - Take a breath after you type every 5 words and put either a comma or a period there. It will improve your commentary dramatically.

TGN- Would be very nice to see some older RPG titles in there as well.
I dont think we'll see Call to Power 3

Yes RTS can burn out an older gamer. When I was a youngster oh some 6 years ago I could play RTS with the best of them. My mind just worked much much faster. Beating players 1 vs 2 was easy, and an occasional 1 vs 3 was fun too, thou the best I could hope for was a tie and I'd wait them out.
Sorry, no 4X games are in the works outside of our own.
Well, there's Civ IV but indeed you can't publish such games if they aren't being made, and since you're making Galciv II you can't be blamed for not doing one either.
Let's just hope Civ IV will be a good game and some other companies get inspired by its success too.
For those of you who are burned out on RTS games, fear not. The other titles we plan to add this month are not in the strategy genre.

I do fear. I like strategy and consider it to be incompatible with real time. RTS are tactics games imo, so the name RTS is bogus to start with.
Might be neat to get some older 4x type games....
