Bacchus Software announces a new TC, Olympian Wars!
Olympian wars will feature Zeus, Hera, and all the other twelve Olympians, in a new techno ancient-style. Planned: full missions for all governments, 42 ships, over 150 systems, specific outfits for each government, 3D rendered graphics, around 200 stellars, and much, much, more!

What do you people think?

I bought a Venus Fly Trap today. I was going to name it 'Republican', but the fly trap is beneficial to the enviroment. I'll save that name - someday I might find a plant that eats poor people and minorities.

Are you just saying this because of the olympics or are you serious like skyblade thinks you are.

No, I'm serious. This has nothing to do with the Olympics, and has even been in development before then.

what exactly are you planning? a total conversion or just a re-hash on a map?
because either way, you have to make sure that the map is easily readable and navigable (like EV's galaxy). i cant stress that enough- it seems to me that some people think that its cool to make weird systems that reach far off the screen or tiny sets of systems meant to represent the different planets of the solar system, but it isnt. (one reason EV has done so well is because the maps were so intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing for zero stress while playing.)
anyway, back on track here- does this have ANYTHING to do with the Olympus system in EV?

Thanks. I know about the HTML, it's there to make a statement. It also turns gold if I edit a message in the Chronicles section (HTML is activated there).

Yeah, I find that annoying too, so don't worry. 
There will be an entirely new map, and no, it has nothing to do with the Olympus system in EV. This plug will be completely independent.
Anyways, gotta get back to work on the plug!
