Does not your game starts, or it gives an error?

Yes, it starts, but its when I press "Start game" that the small window appears. Its says it has a problem with MCI.

Ok Thanks Spec, when you close the window can you continue playing? Can you hear

1-Sound effects like building city effect moving unit effect
2-Any Musics?

[Spec]

Nope, even if I click ok on the window it says open.

I had to go in "Processes" to terminate action.

Ok thanks for info, I think it is a special situation about your mp3 playing devices. I did not get any this kind of error yet from players. I think you are getting "No MCI device" error which means I cannot play mp3s of game. I will examine it if I get one similar error too in future.

Okay, tried this out last night...

The Good:
- great music
- decent graphics
- The interface is nice and clean
- Unit graphics are very functional, meaning I can easily and quickly tell things apart
- I like the strength indicators (the little circles) on the unit graphics


The Not So Good:
- Need more user feedback
- By the time I have researched something, I forget what the benefits of the tech are. All I get is a popup to select my next tech. I would appreciate seeing a summary screen of the tech I just finished researching.

- Need some indicator to tell me which civ a unit or city belongs to. Either some popup text on a mouse-over or an info panel if I click on someone else's unit or city.

- More info, both pre- and post- battle would be helpful. How likely am I to win this fight? What happened in this fight I just had? It's not always easy to determine this info right now.



The Unknown:
It's hard to give any feedback regarding the AI, based on playing one short game on the easiest setting.

You are right.

I have to add a information box after any tech discovered and then when user press continue button I have to ask about new tech.

Also about other point I will also add civilization name to text which is opened when mouse comes any unit. Currently it says only number of units at that cell. I will also add civilization name to that box.

I will add these to third version probably will be avaliable two weeks later.

Thanks for feedback;

...Posting so this will be on My Threads so I can watch its development.

* Also of note to Apolytoners' here's his development thread on CivFanatics

* Gumuso- the game looks nice with its development. Per your comments on CivFanatics, I wish you good luck getting involved in the games industry!

gumuso, who are you? tell us a bit about yourself. You're a Civ/Col fan and you never posted on Apolyton? It doesn't make much sense.

You said it took you 5 years, is that consecutively? Are you the only person on the project? Programming/Graphics/Sound?

I'm really interested in what you have done.

[Kidlicious]

I'd love to play a new Imperialism-like game. Anyone have any suggestions?

[FrostyBoy]

Gumuso, could you give a basic rundown on major changes between Civilization and Invasion?
