    Off World Trading Co

    I saw this on Arstechnica today and thought it looked interesting. The guy behind it was a designer on Civ IV. He says he wanted to explore a completely economic and industrial game without a military component. I'm excited to see where this goes because I always start off a Civ game with the intention of going non-military but it ends up getting so boring and I get land-locked without fighting. It should hit early access later in the year but they are accepting preorders on their website. I'll wait a bit before jumping in on it, but I've got it on my watch list.

    Offworld Trading Company is a real-time strategy game in which money, not firepower, is the player's weapon. Players found a company on Mars and compete against other companies looking to become the economic power on the planet.
    I noticed a Stardock logo at the bottom, which makes me even more interested.

    If all you played was the campaign, be aware that the entire 15-hour campaign is a tutorial for the Sandbox mode which is the real meat of the game.
