Oh yeah, defintely.. i dont take it as a personal attack. :) I know how to
handle constructive criticism. :) 

It will end up being my own game.  The thing is, I have been playing BRE for
YEARS, and there are a few bugs in the game, and a few things that could make
it exciting.  

My idea was this.  Start it off just like BRE to make it 32bit and multi-user,
then from there build it out.  More different styles of military, different
types of attacks, and so on.  The thing is, no one right now is supporting the
current game, which is my motivation.  I have always supported every bit of
software i ever wrote, and still do.  I have sold software on the market and
have made an excess of 35 grand. 

I wanted to start off as a BRE clone so that way people that are used to be BRE
can be comfortable with IPR (InterPlanetary Realms).  This way, people will
play and get used to the game, and as i take people suggestions and ideas, the
game will continue to develop and become even more exciting.. 

As it stands the game is very predictable and you know if you do something
whats going to happen.. There aren't very many variables in place.  All the
strageies have been figured out, and in the leagues that i play, we play the
same way every time.. not very much different.

I'm just trying to spice it up a little bit. :)


Jason
