    Just kidding.

        Congratulations, Ram!! This looks to be a very good way to begin. If you manage to cover all these topics you will have created a very valuable work. Good luck and smooth sailing.

          The space between the text seems to be a problem of the board. Sorry.

          I forgot to mention that hidden specials can only be found on grassland - and so you will omly have
          (m=mining, o=optimize - only with engineers).

            That's because you're using "pretty" HTML. Apolyton automatically inserts a <br> tag at every newline in your post. That means a lot of extra blank lines, because the HTML adds newlines too. You can "fix" it by "compressing" your code, stripping all whitespace between your HTML tags.

                  OK, count me in, but not before October...

                  And only from english: I'm too lazy to translate from german...

                      Meanwhile I am convinced that it would be better to complete the English version first so that the
                      "Grandmasters of CIV" can find and eliminate bugs ...

                          To give you an impression of the work I plan,
                          here's a reformatted thread by AGRICOLA, CFC
                          (in HTML, CSS) that I find very useful - just the kind of information I need for my Strategy Guide.
