[Blue]- Inquisitor
[Red]- Programmer

[Inquisitor] is this random or...?
[PeterAP] that is the way we are playing this aspect the god only interacts with you, but imagine if two gods argue...how would the two civilization react towards eachother...
[PeterAP] It is random to a certain degree, but what isnt, it will not simply be "you are blessed" if you do well you are rewarded, you mess up you are punished
[PeterAP] Need not worry the god will play an interesting role but will not play a die hard role where he can change and destroy what you have done
[PeterAP] does that help?
[Inquisitor] yeah...
[Inquisitor] you said that your people get smarter...
[Inquisitor] will there be some kind of background like for AC?
[PeterAP] in general are you guys happy with what you are reading or are you sceptical, this is important
[Inquisitor] my favorite word for AP is promising :)
[Inquisitor] Peter, what happened at the ECTS?
[Inquisitor] you were there, weren't you?
[PeterAP] That is what hope, as for the backround it comes along with the design, what is most important for us is that the design is solid this is most important the story will form in time and beoce all we hope
[PeterAP] Yes we were at the ECTS, this is where we first met some distributors, it was a great occasion for us to show are work and see how they would react
[Inquisitor] and what was the reaction? :)
[PeterAP] It was positive, the hardest thing is to prove that although you are new, you can still have something good
[PeterAP] They reacted well and the contacts have continued to progress
[Inquisitor] what made you put the god in rather than just having rulers and non-existent or less biased gods?
[Inquisitor] When shall we see something new on the site?
[PeterAP] As for the gods, it fit in very neatley in our Fantasy ideal plus it presented something new, The site will be updated this week
[PeterAP] We are giving screens od our Motor, the main interface as well as units on the screen
[Inquisitor] to quote a question on the apolyton web site...Surely there will be an option to skip controlling the battles? If there is, will having your side computer controlled be a disadvantage? If it isn't, won't it be a bit unfair to those who chose to fight every battle.?
[Inquisitor] the 3d aspect looks great!!
[PeterAP] ok great question
[PeterAP] All options will be present, if you want to watch the computer play so be it...in our hopes no it will not be a dissadvantage...the IA we hope will be as good, plus the tactical aspect means that you will need tactics, I have never met a better computer then a good tactitien
[Inquisitor] oh yes... the AI. will it be difficult? will it cheat?
[PeterAP] the battles will be very cool; you will want to play them out, we hope
[Inquisitor] good you go into a bit more detail on how the economics and political system will work
[PeterAP] We do not want the IA to cheat out prog. are trying to find a way to create an IA which does nbto need to cheat, the difficulty will be chosed by the player
[Inquisitor] good...
[Inquisitor] what about the requirements? with the 3d part... 
[PeterAP] the economic system will be a closed economy, for the player it will be very simple to handle, yet it will be a very complex system. If one civ is rich it will ultimatly mean another is poor
[PeterAP] 166, 64mg
[Inquisitor] 3dfx card?
[PeterAP] 4mg video card
[Inquisitor] eek, thankgod i bought a new computer
[PeterAP] not necc. but it might be nicer
[Inquisitor] I won't be buying this game for a while
[PeterAP] a new computer is a good thing, and it's not expensive!!!!!
