To see what this game looks like, check out screenshots here and here. This goes to show what a great game an open source project can create."
Yes, it looks good, but does it run under.... Windows?! :-)
Another thing to note is that even if it had excellent graphics I think a lot of people would be put off my its turn-based nature.
Yeah, DOOM 3 proved that to me...
Someone set us up the bomb, so shine we are!
Bloody Norwegians naming one of their cities 'Reykjavik', clearly trying to confuse the international community and steal our fish.
Thieving bastards the lot of them.

but these graphics are not the kind of thing that'll attract users to the platform
:-)
Considering your nickname, I'm sure you can contribute some nice graphics to the game that will attract users...
This is not a sig.

but... everyone *hates* the French right? ;-)

Not quite everyone, but only T.H.E.Y., which stands for The Holy Empire of Yanks. As you probably know, THEY usually call themselves US.
Well, in my currently running freeciv game year 1913, Washington is a small Hungarian village sized 2 near the north pole. I will buy it from Hungarians for tech advance of Monotheism next turn. Will be a good strategic port stationing my Czech submarines stuffed with nuclear missiles. Now, tell me about *hate*
Technically, best upgrade ever since classical Civ are visual borders.
There you are, staring at me again.
Whoah. I thought you was joking, but a bit of googling shows it actually exists... just in pre-alpha now. Now look what you're done! I'm on the edge of the seat, too!
Let's see, my strategy thirst has been largely quenched - we have FreeCiv, MegaMek, Stratagus, and one day we'll have FreeOrion. Now I just wish someone hacks FreeCiv to have Alpha Centauri stuff, and I'd be happy happy happy! (Hope that happens before Linux SMAC stops working! Or alternatively hope it will never stop working!)
It's our fish. We can't steal what belongs to us.
And since everything belongs to us, we can't steal at all. That makes us the most honest people on the planet.
Honest Norwegian.
