For those who were interested I have made available the first public Alpha of my new game Empire. The Alt-Civ thread is here: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=77385

I want to thank Hex for his help with the graphics.

I have tested Empire and it works fine on my computer (GForce2 64Mo and Win2000 Pro).
I have played a few turns and I have met no problem to the exception of the buttons who are not always triggering the command when you hit them.

I would prefer the armies to be moved with the mouse while they are selected rather than the current system.

Good work Dale... as usual!

HuangShang:

Yes, this is a completely new game.

It's not for CTP2. However, since a few people expressed interest in it, I posted a msg here to let people know something was ready.

Tamerlin:

When you click on a button, there is a function called "SlowMeDown" which is triggered. Because the game is running at 10 frames a second (fast enough for a turn-based game with not much graphic updating), I had to slow things down when it came to inputs (mouse keyboard clicks). Otherwise, click the mouse once and it'll register 5 or 6 times.

However, I do think the time that SlowMeDown is active should be minised. It's currently at 5 frames (half a second).

Sorry Dale I have not answered to your previous post as I was no more receiving a mail warning me someone had replied to a thread I had subscribed at this time.

I have downloaded Empire v0.2 and will try to give it a try next week.
