Dident know that the lead ai guy quit a few months before the release of empire :o I wonder why :)

An interesting watch :) makes me sad seeing the shots of Shogun, if only I had a time machine to go back and play its MP again. They have struggled in the console market, I really hope they don't get pushed into a stripped down console friendly TW in the future.

It (that the lead ai guy quit right before release) was mentioned in the Mike Simpson's blog, after the release of empire.

The AI programmer who left just before had serious family problems he needed to attend to, that's why he quit right in the midst of the job. He was the only one skilled enough to correct everything and when he left everyone had to learn countless lines of code so eventually it was botched up.

Thanks for the link. That was certainly an interesting thing to watch. Somewhat nostalgic too.

And quite funny too, having watched CA's games evolving.
