hi, I couldnt get the game to work on my P.c, but luckly I'm able to require retro games quite easily..

I had a few choices and decided after reading the cover to play Patrician iii... has anyone played it? its good... its all about trading.. the menus are really good with detailed information on your stock .. and pop ups with news appear to help you plan your next moves..also clicking on certain buildings gives you information and choices.. all trading is done at the trading docks... which I thought could work with mine ... say have a meeting place for trading.. in addition I like the idea of a heading across the top with icons to give you basic instant information.. money/ buildings etc..

the trading menu works well too, with your stock. their stock and how much you have paid in columns...

(example below)

I think I will explore this game more (because its so enjoyable) but also the some of other games I have at hand.. 'PHARAOH' AND THE SETTLERS IV,, to give me different ideas..

its defiantly going to have your charm..

I'm looking forward to exploring inside.. the atmosphere you create with your art is going to be brilliant in game play..

hi I like your brewery, did you design it yourself ? the subtle shading works well..

I like the wheat too; its kinda giving me ideas for corn..

I like the floaty delicate feel you have given it..

works better <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

hi, thanks so much for the detailed reply..

I have managed to come across a copy for the P.C.. I have yet to play it though..

I do like how in age of empires there has to be a balance.. so the player has to think of all areas..

(although my game will be less hectic,and much simpler )

I haven't much experience with trading games so i'm hoping your recommendation will help me with this area...

thanks in advance

hi, are the graphics your own work? what you have done so far is pretty good.. I think it would be difficult to match your style...you seem to outline the basic shape... leaving the fill quite unfocused..

you need someone with that art style to be able to compliment what you have done..

that looks cute,...

love your choice of colours too..
