Darth is very well spoken in this interview, really enjoyed his answers.
I bought this game even though the Civil War inspires very little in me to read or play games about. I want to support this project because I think they can release one day the strategy game I day-dream about. Also glad to see Ukraine has many bright minded people working there.
I LOVE YOU LORD DARTH VADER!

Thanks for your effort Darth!
What I found mostly interesting in this interview is that while the game is awesome, Darth didn't sugarcoated it. He was brutally honest about the game's limitations. I would actually say I respectfully disagree: The graphics are awesome, better than those "AAA 3D" stuff.
The second most interesting thing is... the interest on Ancient Greece battles.

"Angry Uncle Gordon" describes me well.

Good game, good interview. I've enjoyed UG:G and am looking forward to the next project. Congrats to the entire development team
Good stuff Darth, I will put this baby on my which list. The Force is strong on this one.

Im gonna do the thuggie for your games success I also purchased it.
Great game - bought it a couple of weeks ago.
AI - as it should be!
Thank you all for reading, and thank you a lot for this interview!
It gave to me the opportunity to speak frankly about several aspects of the game and its development progress.
Great to see you back Nick! Really happy and proud that you achieved your dream to work in the games industry.
Will be purchasing your game soon and will leave feedback mate.
Hey, I'm just here to make a call to any UG:G player who wants to do multiplayer, as to me, the main issue of the game is that only 3 of my Steam mates got it and they happen to suck at it
So if anyone here is in the same situation, well send me your steam ID by PM. The best thing would be to build a Steam group gathering owners of the game so we can add some. Right now the online search takes ages: the best would be to schedule a game time to time with players as I guess the game won't be massively played ever I fear (God hear my complaint).
EDIT: my bad there's already a lobby on Steam, you can still contact me if you want though ^^
awesome game awesome work Nick.
cant wait for the next title which im sure is coming
Great set of questions Dark Storm, and thanks to Darth Vader for the detailed answers.
