Its interesting to think about where this franchise will be five or six years in the future. I still remember being floored by Civ 1. (Mid 90's)
I also recall being floored by Empire on the PC. It had some of the major military units (infantry, battleship, etc) represented by "I" and "B" for example. No stacking and the screen was basically filled with letters representing the square. IIRC, the ocean was little "o" and the cities were "O"...that game was awesome for its time. (1983...i think)
So I disagree with you Panag. Ask someone what their wishlist for improving Empire or even Civ 1 and it would sound outrageous, but highly possible if enough people want the same thing. I think that is the limiting factor (market demand) not disk space or processor power.
