[Rhye]

Currently in beta testing.
Here's a preview of the civ UP cards:

and of the Stability management panel:

Coming soon...

 

[Riker]

I want that game

 

[ijnavy]

Sounds great! When is it coming out?

 

[Cossack Captain]

No Ukraine - No buy

 

[Good Sauce]

Damn Your Trickery!

 

[Panopticon]

I am 31 minutes too late to make a witty faux-naif comment.

 

[Walliard]

Nice try, Rhye. But we all know stability is far too complicated a mechanic for a board game.

No Ukraine - No buy

I am shocked Rhye didn't announce a new version today: with Poland, Ukraine and playable Byzantines.

 

[Riker]

He created it. But he kept it for himself, since no one would have believed him

 

[Lone Wolf]

April Fools?

 

[sdLeo]

Great! I downloaded the Beta. Good job, Rhye!

You have a strange sense of humor, Rhye.

Whether or not you're serious, I think this is a great idea. I have a secondhand copy of Avalon Hill Civilization, although I've never played it. And if a boardgame-style RFC was implemented as a computer game with adequate AI, I'd play the crap out of it.

Heck, if any Avalon Hill-style game was implemented as a computer game with adequate AI, I'd play the crap out of it. I tried the official computer versions of Diplomacy and Axis & Allies --- BAAAARRRF, GAG, RETCH. Squad Leader was actually pretty good, although it wasn't much like the board game.

Oh yeah - and years ago, there was a shareware Macintosh version of Risk that I played quite a bit and was popular with some other people for a while. A number of years afterwards, I found out that a guy I had been working closely with for over a year was the author of that game. That was funny.

 

[Úmarth]

That would be so cool.

 

[Riker]

Can it be an april fool?

 

[mushyman]

Can it be an april fool?

Surely not! Rhye wouldn't do that to us....

Would he?

 

[flyingchicken]

Rhye told us his super special awesome secret project on that one April one before.

The spoilered April Fools was a lie.

 

[Rhye]

The cake is a lie

 

[say1988]

mmmmm cake

 

[Riker]

Rhye should mod Portal to add Ukraine
