      Interesting to see the goals he put.
      I'm particularly interested in the point about 3D. I believe 3D is actually harder to mod than 2D (I made some 2D graphics but the interface of Blender, 3DS ad such, the silly skinning patterns turn me off) and am quite pleased to see Soren'd not sure whether the gameplay is any better in 3D. Marketing-wise, though, t was certainly a good choice.
      Because for some reason, the strategy genre has not been nearly as mod friendly as a lot of other games that have appeared on the PC, especially the shooter genre. Valve is built off people who went and did things with their engine. It’s not in strategy game developers DNA.
      I'm not sure about that point. Call to Power II was very moddable. Dominions is one of the easiest moddable games out there.

            Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
            The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
            The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila
