Developer chat transcript

Playing around with Control Panel can be very educational. Don't forget to press Cancel though, or you can find yourself in another country, or sending messages from the future.

Meanwhile, back at the thread...

As with most dev chats, the questions were submitted to a moderator who only passed on the ones you see to our man Roxy, so you can't blame him for not answering questions he didn't get to see...

However, out of the kindness of his heart, Roxy has volunteered to answer - or ask around in order to find the answers to - five questions, if you can sort out a list amongst yourselves. The usual rules for 'unofficial CA contact' apply - we take no legal responsibility for the answers, some questions may not be answerable for legal reasons, ten questions is not five questions, if you don't like the offer we can always withdraw it, etc etc...

I suggest a spot of discussion over the weekend before someone posts up a clearly-marked final list.

Panda, I know I'm being a little nitpicking here, but since we are not entirely certain what questions we can ask, what about we submitted 8-10 questions to make sure we don't use up too many of the questions with illegal ones. So it will still be 5 questions answered. What say you?

Oh and btw, thanks.

I'll have a look at the list on Sunday and tell you which ones you wouldn't get an answer to, if any. Then you can decide which five of the rest are the most interesting.

Thanks a lot - this is great.

@SouthwaterPanda - I wanted to add my thanks.

I have always been fascinated by Roman history, and longed for a computer game that dealt with the period as well as board games like Imperium Romanum II by West End Games. I'm optimistic that RTW is finally that game, the Holy Grail of computer games for me personally. So it's good to see the level of support and accessibility that CA is providing. Looking forward to losing myself in Rome next weekend!!
