3 related topics, but split: WEGO requires conviction!

What do I mean "WEGO requires conviction"?

I had previously started a moderate lengthy thread discussing GTMF vs CMx2.

One thing I failed to say that I would like to say now, is that WEGO requires conviction by the >>> developers <<<.

With RTS, there is so much going on that is virtually impossible to see all or even 90%.  This is not at true with WEGO.  I know many people here scrutinize every movie which might represent a departure from the real universe in which we live.  If I was programming this stuff, I would say that there is much more pressure for CM than GTMF.  A buglet is easily missed in GTMF until the community decides there is one and starts hunting it.  Where as in CM not a single frame of the game is ignored.  There is always someone who is educated and very sharp watching very carefully.

I only knew "Martin" (who is gone), but I believe Steve programs this stuff.  Well, a tip of my hat, to know that every line of code will be examined by someone.  Granted I have seen many comments, but given the forensic analysis this game receives ... it surprising that there is so little to criticize.

Well done!  (from one software engineer to another)

Steve is the designer, Charles - who we never hear from directly - is the coder. They have several artists and modellers - I am not sure if there are any on full time staff or just regular contractors. Martin - who is indeed no longer part of the company - I believe was their web site admin. I might have that last part wrong. We also have @BFCElvis who I believe still does some support but is now also project managing and communicating with us more.

If I have any of that wrong hopefully I'll get corrected.

Heck yeah.
