<t> Matrix does a lot of stupid things. <br/>
<br/>
This game should have been developed from the standpoint of making good solo play (with good AI). This at least would have let players play... then, and only then, should multiplayers be developed. Sigh, whatever.<br/>
<br/>
That said, I doubt ...

So are you continuing development? Do you have experience with large code bases?

When is Matrix going to abandon this game and make it open source so that we may finally make it good!?

I would very much like the look and feel of the original board game. JMO.

ORIGINAL: freeboy

I am interested but its old and there is no action on the forums?

No, it's not really supported. Hasn't been for a LONG time.

LOL! Ahhhhhh Neverman ... probably right before hyperspace!<br/>
This sits in the hands of the original game designers. I don't even believe this would be a Matrix decision and I respect and agree with that!

PISA, welcome to the Empires in Arguments forum! LOL Just a few comments here to bring you up to speed. I personally do not update anything except the game manual; Marshall Ellis is the game designer and maintains proprietary rights to his ...

Oh wow, Neverman has a really good idea, you should just Open Source this project! I totally agree with him.

After playing this game and all the files it has to do to exchange between 7 players I have changed my mind that as far as a PBEMgame it is too slow. It would be better to be TCP/IP

It's not your laptop or ASUS, it's the game. Basically they have no clue and are "passing the buck", sucks to be you bro, sorry for your loss.

I'd be very willing to do some serious work on an Open Source (or closed source for that matter) version.

When the game is available for purchase, will there be a "boxed + digital" version available or only digital?<br/>
<br/>
Thanks

OMG, how did you guys manage to get the rights? Amazing news!

The division by zero error seems to be pretty consistent (though it shouldn't be) and you shouldn't have to "reboot" 2 or more times to get a GAME to run. Honestly.

Open Source it!! [>:]

When can we expect the Open Source version? [8D]

At some point both Matrix and Marshall are going to have to cut their losses, it's really just inevitable financially. Hopefully, after a few years from now and dwindling sales, Matrix will allow this to go open source and we can fix the bugs/design issues.

The AI is horrible and always will be, it's not a game meant for AI play.

Why can't people use the same email for different countries in the same game? That makes no sense.
