Kosmopolska

Kosmopolska is an artistic Swedish CD-ROM adventure game with several different game modes and minigames, including a number of real time strategy sections. You can read more about the game here.

Unused Graphics#

Among the graphics for the RTS sections of the game are a number of unused graphics for two units that aren't in the finished game, including character sprites and portraits. There are also graphics for some buildings that aren't in the finished game.

KGB Building#

This building does show up in the finished game as a terrain object, but unused graphics for it suggest that it was intended to be buildable by the player. Some text files in the game folder state that Spies could be trained in this building.

Red Building#

There are some mentions in the game text files to an unused building called "Church". This might be this building.

Unused Sounds#

There is an unused sound file with the name "KGB", that would presumably play when you click the unused KGB building:

Another unused sound file has the name "Spy", and would presumably play when you click on a Spy unit.

Unused Text#

There are several references in text files in the game folder to the unused units and buildings, including how much they would cost to build.

There are a number of different names for different Guard units: "Olbrzymi", "Lwica", "Psotny", "Ogon", and "Nadwaga".

There is also some English text for commands that presumably would be shown for the Guard and Spy:

// Button for the guard to chase a man
string ButtonCatchHelp  = "Chase a spy"

// Spy educated in Kgb HQ
string IconSpyHelp  = "Spy is being educated"

And similar text in Swedish:

// Button for the guard to chase a man
string ButtonCatchHelp  = "Stoppa spion"

// Spy educated in Kgb hq
string IconSpyHelp  = "Spion utbildas"
