We are halfway through the initial design step. As always the complexity of the task was greatly underestimated at the beginning. Wiring economics, military and diplomacy together is quite a task which cannot be completed in two weeks working on evenings only.

However all which we have so far, basically a collection of possible rules and ideas, are downloadable as pdf.

The goals for the next weeks are threefold:

• Melt all the ideas of the design into a coherent model. It’s just a first draft but we need something where we think of that it could work. This will give us reassurance and something to improve upon.
• Derive tasks (coding, ..) from this design model and design the programme. Identify bottlenecks.
• Make the project better know. Improve upon the website. Something I haven’t done much so far. Because of spam attacks I had to lock comments but I would like to unlock them again.
