I have problems with considering any developments of the Battleground engine as the idea seems to assume nothing has happened in the meantime. The trouble is, it has... John Tiller has been developing it and improving it for some considerable time. I wouldn't deny the HPS games still have problems (the AI still isn't that good, and the 3D graphics are far worse than BG), but as I have said, annoyingly frequently no doubt, they ARE much better AND more fun. Developing BG is to me, as if evolution turned its back on homo sapiens and said "now, what can we do with those Neanderthals?". I think re-releasing the BG games with a few tweaks here and there, at a sensible price, is a great move, especially for those who have never played them. As far as development goes, though, I can't really see they have a future.
