MOO3 had some interesting mechanics but they weren't presented well in the UI. The Endless games are the one case where I think they really got down how to display economic information. Similarly the economy tends to work better than GalCiv's based on how they break down the basics.
Anyway in the end everything has to be judged on execution. We're hoping that in the end once we're done with UI and systems polishing we'll be able to live up to what we're aiming for in terms of execution.
Today we have a new article by newman, covering the technical side of art in LoR, this time focusing on texturing!

We have a new design article, covering strategic resources and how we're implementing them. We felt they provide a critical way to help balance and drive the gameplay behind superstructures and megaweapons.

Kickstarter is slowly but surely coming along. Thank you all who have supported it so far! Whether we meet the goal or not what matters is getting the word out
