This games performance is fantasic, I appreciate the obvious improvements you guys get in with each new build. Initiating trade and diplomacy are two things that are not as intuitive as they should be.

" A 100% tax rate means that any productive acheivement by every worker, whether recorded in da

Great game! Glad to see someone is out there developing a space empire game--and actually shipping it! I hope you will take the following coments in the spirit in which they are offered (not meant to offend or upset, but honest observations offered to improve a game a license to which I now own). The economics and government models do not seem correct. Even modest expenditures outstrip even a 60 or 70% tax rate. Under these circumstances, a civilization does not expand into the stars-
