This looks like an interesting idea - I'm going to keep an eye out for it when you're ready with a playable version. In the meantime, good luck with kickstarter!

Heh... those rewards guarantee the game would crash and burn, indeed. No one likes the idea of playing a game where someone will always beat you because they're rich and willing to shell out $10k to the game's development.

At least with slow metabolism, food and water aren't a major issue. I was making sure to top myself off, but I think my character could do two days of strenuous hiking before becoming thirsty. It probably wouldn't be bad if hunger and thirst increased faster, but I'd suggest that the first search area should always contain a container (plastic shopping bag even), a few food items and a canteen with water in it to give new(er) players a better start.

Not of necessity. At least with a medical background and some healing nanobots in your bloodstream, the rest & recover option takes you from mortally wounded to healthy in only a few turns.

I know it may seem like your Council is out to get you, but it's merely a scientific experiment. The goal of the experiment is to find out how many full-stack armies it takes to cause a full army under your masterful command to lose. The betting pool is currently centered on 24 armies (2-deep ring around your army) of post-reform Romans supported by elephants, spartan and chariots.

What potential allies? Bide our time for now, but if they send ships toward Sol, blast them, then camp the jump point. If they're stupid enough to use the gate for military transit, it shouldn't be difficult. If/when we've built up our own forces, smash their fleet and take their homeworld. To that end, I suggest developing boosted radiation output warheads, a missile for them, and a fighter to fire them.

I disagree. If you want to take and keep their homeworld, it helps if they're not all dying of radiation poisoning. Yes it makes it easier to hold it, but they you have to deal with a very protracted campaign of freighter-hauling everything to a world that isn't blanketed in nuclear winter for the next century.

I don't know, I'm interested in seeing these "doom-armies", especially since I don't think I've ever seen Stworca lose... to anything.

My fellow Senators, the question of the Romans is a difficult one - surely they are a potential threat at the moment, and deserve only to be crushed and enslaved by the might of our ever-victorious army, but we must also consider the needs of our finest military mind, Duke Mountainjoy.  At the moment, they are a fine military force to be sure, but I have heard rumors of a certain Marius and his talks of a more professional army.  I believe we should wait until the Romans have listened to this man and introduced his reforms before we unleash our army on them, that they might bravely go to the Underworld having fought to their utmost.

No, let us instead focus on Carthage at the moment, and then turn our fierce attentions towards another foe - the Egyptians or the Spanish barbarians?
