Civ IV designer takes RTS in a new direction with "Offworld Trading Company"

Thought you lot might find this of interest.

Oh. I just noticed it's published by Stardock. Sorry Uber guys

Fascinating. Do want.

My thoughts exactly. I loved Transport Tycoon as a youngster - and I still have OpenTTD on my tablet. This seems like TT on steroids, with a bit of commodity trading thrown in.

I do actually dabble in a bit of commodity trading IRL, so I'd be interested to see how I'd do in this

This sounds amazingly complicated. Will buy.

I'd love to play you at this. I might (might) be able to actually stand a chance against you

I'm going to make a company called "EA" and run it straight into the ground.

Don't ask me why, but I was browsing through old stuff and found this thread. Bit of a necro, but has anyone here got their hands on the early access for this one? Any feedback so far?

I might have to now.

Why were you browsing through old stuff?

Given that you need to sign an NDA to play it, i doubt you'll be able to find people willing to comment.

People can talk about the game, just not post pictures

I can't understand unless it's a picture. I feel discriminated! How will I know if this game is good! I'm doomed I tell you!

i think startdock are gearing up for a reveal soon, firday's galciv 3 dev stream said lots of stuff happening atm at the stardock offices.
