Now, I'm asking you? How much money would you pay for a game with this kind of entertainment?

Now, imagine that this game also includes four rivals, who are constantly vieing for the same resources you are? Then, how much would you pay?

Then suppose that the game included over 50 items, each with exciting and useful effects. That it let you setup trade routes, and build all kinds of awesome stuff. How much would the game be worth then?

And, to top it all off, what if the game had multiplayer support, including the ability to link together player designed levels over the internet, and supported OpenGL and 3dfx based video accelleration?
