This seems to be the best solution given what I know
about game design in Xconq, as it provides more
latitude with the graphics, naming and capability of
such units with the only drawback being an unusually
large unit list.

I also don't know but I would think this would be
relatively simple.  I don't see any reason for the
build list to ever contain every possible unit that
can be built by every possible unit, you've got the
Designer for that.

A multi-player sequential game where the game is
played on the same computer, with each player taking
turns controlling his own units.
