And unlike Populous, it is more of a military 'simulation'. I does, however, have some similarities to its 'father'. The game is totally icon-controlled and involves small people and buildings. After reading a preview of this game, I think it will be a new bestseller for Bullfrog. Per Oedegaard (perod@ifi.uio.no)
