Hi zack, I assume you are playing your brains out in SoundRTS then, you
should join our tournament, we only have 5 players so far, we need more like
8 or 12 if possible.
Write me off list if you want more info or to join the tournament.
Later,
Che

Hello,
No, currently I must say that the game is not completely playable. The
vast majority of functions are accessible, but moving ships and such is
difficult. I've asked the developers about it, and whether new keyboard
shortcuts or alternative input methods might be devised. Other than ship
movement, though, you are able to manage most other features with reasonable
accuracy. The learning curve is extremely steap, however.
I have always had a love for turn-based strategy games of this genre,
but there are so few of them which seem useable by us, which is a real
shame. Well, I guess they say if you don't like it, do it yourself...
Thanks,
Zack.

So is the game completely playable by the blind?
I assume it takes a good bit of mouse cursoring around, or not?
Sound very interesting so far.
Later,
Che

Hiya,
To my knowledge it is text, though that just means I haven't heard
sounds yet. It's a hardcore strategy game. Lots of numbers and statistics
and stuff for people to crunch. I don't think it's for everybody.
On a somewhat related note, I've just noticed something odd. I never
knew how surprisingly accessible Civilization 2 is for Windows. It seems to
use standard enough controls that I can at least read a lot of the info and
move units.
Hope this might be a good sign for the strategists among us?
Thanks,
Zack.

Hi.
Are there sounds in this game, or is it just a text-game?
Best regards Søren.
