Hi Everyone,
I was talking to cleverwise and he told me about this article.
If you read it closely it explains some of the unused code we have found, like trading commodities (food, intel ect)
From the look of the images it was originally to be 600 x 480 (glad they went 800 x 600)
look at some of those early prototype srceenshots glad they did a lot more work on GUI.
Also original release date of 4th quarter 1998, it was 6 months late and still rushed.....
here is the 2 page article.
page 1
page 2
happy reading
