Which is in some respects a pity:  I'd pay good money for a
*real* remake/sequel to MOO.  Or MOM, for that matter.

Brad:  looking at some of the screenshots I'm getting the impression
you may be using scalable fonts this time.  Is this so?  One of the
big barriers to enjoyment I had with the first Windows version of
Galciv (yeah, I bought the OS/2 version too) was that the fonts were
very very small.

That may seem like a minor detail, but it makes the difference
between a game I can enjoy and one that I'll find immensely frustrating.

Oh, and will there be a demo of Galciv2 released at some point?
