chrono - How much of the code is platform specific? Do your coders have some sort of design worked out on how to procede?

Well, my guess is that e either use magic to rob galleons on the Spainish Main or its a simulation of a counterfeit Magic card scheme.

Our code will be in C++, for blitting we'll use SDL, so a little test program (a unit walking on a simple map) ran on Linux and Win. The game will (hopefully) do the same.
We are really not far with our code since our old programmer left us and we started from scratch. Another reason is that noone was really familiar with SDL. Right now we're discussing how a unit and a map class is supposed to be like. Feel free to visit us... just follow the link in my sig. For further discussion on Col2 let's bump the old thread in the Alternative Civs section.

Concerning PoM: I think it is not that hard to imagine a Pirates game in a fantasy world. Perhaps Sid let's us use zeppelins instead of boats.

That's what is most likely.

That might be interesting: Steal the wizard his magic-points and spells and afterwards throw him to the sharks
