In case anyone is interested, we've also released a screenshot of how the new user interface is shaping up;

Looking great, thanks for the screen.

(nice to see my home town in there..Cape Town ).

 

[BattleGoat]

Thanks, glad you like it.

...(nice to see my home town in there..Cape Town

Cape Town already has it's two nuclear power plants and its pier placed.

We've actually placed all the cities on our new world map (the only map this time around) and there are over 8000 cities! We keep joking that we should release a side product of Supreme Atlas :D

If you'd like to know more about the screenshot, it is being discussed on our forum;

And of course, if you have questions, feel free to ask.

... but before you ask, no, the beta is not ready yet

It would be much cooler if there were OVER 9000 cities.

 

[Shoelip]

Somehow, I get the feeling that most people here aren't going to get that reference.

 

[Astromarine]

are you kidding? the handful that aren't /b/tards here are probably massive weeaboos themselves.

 

[Shoelip]

I have no idea what you just said.

 

[BattleGoat]

I'm also unsure what is meant here, but we'd have a hard time going beyond 8000 cities, we'd have to start including cities in the 15-25k ppl in some places, and those cities just don't really impact the game much. The engine could handle it, it just isn't necessary.

The new screen is really nice. I didn't play the first game for too long because the screen was unreadable for me, it's great the new version will be easier on the eyes. Good luck!

Conceptually I really like the game, I am sure to check it out once it is out. Quite natural that paradox publish it, since it is so similar to their own games.

 

[BattleGoat]

We also think that Paradox is a nice fit for our title. They certainly already deal with much of our target audience.

Looks nice! I haven't played a world leader type strategy game for a long time, so I may have to check this one out.

We've also posted some unit pictures on our website;

The new 3D engine certainly gives us some new options graphically speaking.
