I hope we still get the no-holds-barred review of the finished game, which you promised us.

I, too, look forward to your comments on Moo3, should it get finished.

/me still knows who Stormhound is.

His review should prove interesting, and will make up a fair portion of my decision to buy or not (considering how well MoO3 sells doesn't affect him any more).

I'm looking forward to a Stormhound review, too.

Happy birthday, 'Hound -- you're a week and a day and a ... few years... ahead of me. Only a few!

OK, since nobody else seems to be in the mood to fill you in, I will give it a shot. Anyone who knows better: feel free to correct me where I'm wrong.

Stormhound was at first a regular guy who followed the game on the Delphi forums. At that time (Alan was still in charge) the developers were looking for input from the fans. Stormhound was very active doing that and helped build the diplomacy system in the game (which is probably an understatement as he - as I understand it - was writing it up almost by himself). Impressed by his work, QSI hired him to work on MOO3.
Yet he never lost touch with the fans and shared information whenever he was able to. For that (and his kindness) we are thankful for.
Because of reasons that I can only speculate on (which I will not do here) he was laid off again in April. (Some kind of April Fool that was, if anybody remembers...

Hope that helped.

Wow, another year has gone by...
Starting to feel an old geezer already Stormie?

Anyway, despite you being gone for all this time, and IF you show up around here again, I want you to know that you're still a dear person to me and I hope you're having all the best in life.
Especially in your new married life!
