`21.Feb.2003` Thomas Steiding (E-Mail)	e.p.i.c.: Knights & Merchants for MorphOS starts shipping Today e.p.i.c. interactive started shipping the Empire Builder Knights & Merchants, which is now the first commercially available game for MorphOS. Knights&Merchants retails at EUR 49,95 and requires a Pegasos with 600 Mhz, 64 MByte RAM and MorphOS 1.0 or better. More information on this Real Time Strategy game can be found in the projects section of our homepage (title link). Knights and Merchants can be described as a strategic economy simulation. In the main, the economics play a major role in this real-time action game. The player can manufacture different products, making use of numerous buildings and producer goods of the Middle Ages period. He can use his serfs to construct and maintain buildings and roads. The economical structuring is very specific. You manufacture finished products using various raw materials which go through your production processes. All these manufacturing systems are highly detailed and visually understandable, enabling fast and dependable control of your economy. One result of all your productive labors is the manufacture of weapons and armor. But the logistics, too, are really worth a mention. You decide where and how merchandise will be transported on the network of streets which you yourself have planned and constructed. Your serfs transport all wares between buildings, so your town planning plays a major role in production time per building, and, resulting from that, just how efficient your economy as a whole is going to be. Transported goods are displayed graphically. Each figure in the game has his/her own mission area and carries out individual tasks independently. They don't depend on your commands or actions. You, the player, only give indirect commands for the construction of buildings, streets, corn fields, etc. However, you do have complete control of the military units. Dealers please contact GTI/Schatztruhe. (ps) [News message: 21. Feb. 2003, 10:45] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`20.Feb.2003` C64 News (ANF)	Music: SIDBoost your Amiga! There is a new SID player for Amiga made by Glover/Samar called SidBooster. Forget about older players like PlaySid or Sid4Amiga. This is the best SID emulation on Amiga and it can be compared only with original C64! Recommended is at least 68040/40 and full installed MUI (most plugins). Works perfectly on my A4000/060/56Mhz, all BoingBags installed and Kick 3.9 (3.1 with ROM Patch from OS 3.9). "imagepool.library" was needed for my miggy (can be found on AmiNet).
