The Trebuchet was my idea. Very proud of that. :)

Much better technology, including graphics. The first PC game I worked on had 4 colors. The PC I used making Railroad Tycoon had a 30KB hard drive. Yow!

Too many to choose from and yesterday's favorite might not be tomorrow's. Of the ones I worked on probably Age of Empires II. It was a perfect storm. But CIV I was an incredible experience.

Thanks for the kind words about AoE. They were a blast to make and all of us are proud to have worked on them. I can't say we expect The Incorruptibles to compete, but we believe it has a strong chance. It may be that people playing the big mobile strategy games are not typical or advanced gamers. We think there is an audience for true RTS on mobile and we took a carefully considered stab at it. It is free-to-play but you can accelerate your way through the content by paying a little bit.

No secret. You created a world that is largely empty of units and let the players fill it in. The player writes the story with what he or she finds, builds, captures. Randomly generated maps and fog of war help with that.
