Normally there are crazy fading and puffing animations whenver things are built or destroyed.

"The wise prince, therefore, has always to divert his efforts to construction of his own [production units] before offense upon his neighbors. For otherwise he should find himself named a nub when his enemies come upon him." Didnt Machiavelli say something like…

I'm tempted to write my own! Are you keen to develop on this again? I was thinking combine the above idea with a google-maps-esque scrollable region and create a simple space or ocean-based strategy game. Use ruby for the back-end language and prototype/effects (mir.aculo.us) to handle the js effects. Cool idea! I’m tempted to write my own! Are you keen to develop on this again?

I will work on the game again eventually, but in Flash. We were trying to think of a simpler game that could use this technology, but we ended up working on other things. At one point, we actually wanted to use Google Maps as a playing ground... so you could play on top of real world locations. Actually, that was for another game, but we were talking about it while we worked on this. ; ) We used PHP for the backend because we know it well. Ruby is awesome though (well, mostly because of Rails). We did use Prototype and Effects in AjaxWar though. Ben,
