Sure.  We just didn't have the time to do it.  I still like the idea
tho, and I still hope to do it one day.  The the main point was to
fuse three games into one: Some players are gods the others must pray
(mail) to in order to work magic, some players are traders sending
goods all over the world without actually controlling the little units
and their carts, and the third group of players plays the soldiers,
artisans and bandits roaming the world.

We stopped during the design phase when we tried to develop a
hierarchy of occupations, required tools and weapons, possible
infrastructures, etc.  And game balance...   :(

Alex.
