[Blue]- Inquisitor
[Red]- Programmer

[MarkG] can you describe us what is going on the the interface?
I remember seeing some screen shots of the 3d terrain before, but I can't find them on the AP site... where are they?
[PeterAP] You are faced with with your staff, the small shilds near them show the loyalty rate, some are mayors some
generals, on the interface are the options such as bribe, assasinate, reward
[PeterAP] We have removed them; we have better ones now and they are going up this week :)
[MarkG] can you bribe, assasinate, reward the advisors? I believe your only fansite has them
[PeterAP] we will now put them up with units on them; some even in battle ;)
[PeterAP] yep, You can...if he is being unloyal, act machievelien!
[PeterAP] I promise this week they will be up!
[MarkG] are the units going be animated al the time?
[MarkG] like in AOE... This game is very interesting... looks like it's going to beat out all the others.. if only it would come out sooner than 12 months.. thats a kinda long dev. time
[PeterAP] yes, they will never emain static, our ulimate goal is for them to make a campsite and do funny things when not moving!
[MarkG] funny things???? :) at least by that time ppl will have played the ones coming out now and be thirsting for a new civ innovation
[PeterAP] we know but we prefer taking all the time needed to give you guys the best game possible not bugged and incomplete making us come out with 20 patches to fix it
[PeterAP] Such as building a fire, training against a poor little tree, sleeping, doing push ups not just stand looking silly
[MarkG] interesting!
[PeterAP] ok that is strange... :)
[MarkG] will the names of the races be fantasy or real ones?
[PeterAP] The fixed ones will be fantasy the one you create you will name
