This is not the first time this has been asked. I have never really used that screen, but my impression was that it shows you completed wonders, not those under construction - can someone correct me or confirm this?

We can check it in our internal #3 game. As Egypt I can build the Pyramids since the start of the game. I can play a false turn in which I change Thebes to build the Pyramids and then send to Arnelos for him to check if the F7 screen shows that.

Only 19 turns to literature? Wow! our science production is big!

Remember, that's before founding Zaragoza.

Saragossa is a marvellous little village already. I've just come back on my way home from Neu Demogyptica. Preferable to Barcelona, in fact. Despite the squid. Freshwater squid aren't as good. That's the only detrimental effect in Saragossa. However, the horses are fairly nice, and the deer is really splendid. Have some venison...

As it is, now that we have Writing, we must make sure that Neu Demogyptica still wants to trade us for Mathematics, which I am fairly sure is their aim. I would also suggest building an embassy in Neu Theban before they build an embassy in Madrid, simply so we can see if the rumors of nearing Lux Invictans are accurate.

Should we not spell it Zaragoza, as oliver_fa suggested once? Anyway, Zaragoza looks more impressive and frightening, especially as it will be right on the border. Saragossa sounds like a sleepy little village that will always be sleepy and so easy for the Chinese to conquer with just Basher Jr. Speaking of whom, what is it going to take for Basher Jr. going to move from that mountain we want to build the tunnel through? Do I have to throw an axe myself from the Magyar Warriors?

Oh, next turn could we also see pictures of the cities?

Also, the science screen...

I must confess. I Manuel de Leon, professional interepeter of other peoples dreams, do hereby announce that I have been bothered by a night time visitor. And as it is well known amongst sorcerers, wizards, and other masters of the mental forces, such visitations cannot be properly be interepeted by the dreamer.

It begins simply enough. The panorama of the fruited plain that is to be the very core of Iberia expands across my sub conscious mind.

And then a mysterious face slowly forms out of the mists, slowly turns to me and says, "I am El Syd. You do not know of me, but if you are true to the gifts granted unto Iberia during the act of creation, the spawn of Iberia's spawn shall thank me in their time."

That face. It comes to me each night. Each night it is larger than before, and bears a more serious look. I feel that I should know that face, but I do not. The most destinctive feature of that face is a deep indentation in the very center of an oversize chin. Like a charicature. When it speaks, the lips do not move and the words come directly out of that chin.

And every night, the dream and that ever present chin speak furthur of the destiny of Iberia. In the second coming, or dreaming, the chin floats to the silk resource next to Barcelona and says "To whom much is given, much is expected. Why do your gifts go unused?"

Over the next several nights, El Syd continues past the silk and onwards towards the spices in the south east. The chin twitches in silence, then continues towards the Ivory so far away. And again the chin twitches, and glides westward to the diamond tiles on the left coast and says "This too and all of these are granted but only to those who are bold enough to manage them for my cause."

Last night, as the chin is want to do, added another sweep across our lands. This time over the jungles to the north. El Syd said "This may seem a curse today, but my future is here. Secure it or I will be in someone else's dreams"

And so, I report here today these dreams so that they may be properly interepeted.

Yes, I saw the 1990 bc save. We are truly blessed.

[OliverFA]

The number of screenshots to take is getting bigger. If it wasn't because of that damn bug that adds more production when you reload the save could be sent to another person (maybe the scribe, or the intelligence office hed) to take all that screenshots and this person could be change from time to time just to not bother him too much.

[History Guy]

El Syd, eh? Yes...yes...I have seen him too! In my dreams...he is usually seen alongside the words...'Science Advisor'...he wears a white coat, silly glasses...he is balding, and rotund, and he has a goofy little smile on his face...this is El Syd, is he? I have often pondered the significance of that dream...
