Elemental: Reforged has just been released. And people like it. They really like it. But the question is, now what? We now have a modern, 64-bit 4X strategy engine with extensive modding support. We've been quietly working on this for years. Nights, weekends, off the books. The "1.0" release was fairly arbitrary.
