Also this means it's a lot easier to make minor changes without having to recompile the entire game. My own turn based strategy actually used a similar system to the original Command & Conquer games how unit information, levels, etc were all stored in human-readable ini files, and it worked perfectly.
As for music, I quickly threw together a midi file last night, but I'll do a high quality recording of it this evening and maybe attach it then if I don't get distracted by other things.

Our own forum might not be a bad idea, but I wouldn't mind if we used something for instant messaging as well. Not that we'll all be on at the same time, but it would heighten communication for those who are on at the time. I'm quite partial to Skype myself, but anything works really.
@ Gretin: Also do you still have this project you worked on? I would love to take a gander at it. Oh and btw I love that thing you threw together. It sounds magical.
The game definitely has to have base building strategy. I vastly enjoy it myself. I figure we can try multiple things and see what ends up being the most fun. I think the most important thing is to give the game an Odd feel, but not at the expense of fun. I'm totally open for new ideas.
