Ah! I misunderstood. That's a cool idea. There
is an open source
version of Civilization floating around. Perhaps that could be
adapted, not that we couldn't steal a start from somewhere else...
My Lord Hammurabi, I beg to report to you that this year we
have produced 1,000 transistors and 400 rallods of copper
wire.
How much copper do you want smelt this year?
I don't know about that -- it would make the game rather difficult.
Rats have eaten 320 transistors.
Do you want to buy or sell stock?
Or maybe that should be:
Surplus shops have taken 215 transistors.
Do you want to buy or sell source code?
