Brian,

Will you be needing any "Wish List" for this baby? I learned a lot about the need to print, tab and mail it to you...just let me know.

and before we forget

thanks brian, for showing up here.

It is nice to see a big name developer who cares enough to come pay a visit with his fans. It is a good way to stay a "big name developer"

Any possibility that there will be enough time between announcement of the concept for your new game and serious developement work for a meaningful exchange of ideas here?

Yeah, to know that you're with us is really pleasant! Thanks Brian! You're a real pal!

well yes, detailed examination of the BHG site confirms what you say. has that not been discussed here, or have i missed something?

[St Leo]

Actually I was thinking of the ones I've seen at Gamasutra. They are a news item at Imperatorium.Com, but our webmaster is missing in action so the site is frozen in an about-to-go-live stage.

TBS - but he said that he wanted to do RTS - but that was before he signed with MS, which already has an RTS shop (ES) and no TBS shop.

Historical themes - well except for SMAC of course.

4X

Complexity and depth, including philosophical elements.

So i'd say there are many directions he could go and still follow one of his "patterns"

well it seems we were right.

Rise of nations - historically themed 4X.
Complexity and depth have yet to be seen, but one may hope.
