Hi all, This is very sad news indeed. I got an email from Dome about it yesterday. Wasp was a great help to me in bringing Allegiance to Steam. He invested a lot of hours into play testing, and verifying changes that I was making to the code base to ensure that it didn't impact play-ability. He spen...

Roads, Infrastructure, Trades (labor / apprentice work), Basic IT, law enforcement, etc. You pick a field, you learn on the job, you can rotate to somet...

Wopr (the thing running SuperBotMatch) is still a work in progress, this edition is focused on solving the "who wants to be commander" issue, so that you can just jump into a game and not have to worry about expansion and research (and scouting! :) . Future editions will add in the combat ...
