Good Column

[Provost Harrison]

Yeah, a nice, optimistic and enthusiastic column. Apart from one thing, you are still whining about the bleeding resolution. Who uses 800x600 any more? Get out there and invest in a new monitor. If yours can't support anything higher it should have been in the dustbin years ago! Even a cheapo 15" will support 1024x768 so do it!

this is what it says at the bottom

Snapcase has written three columns before, each under a different name. You don't want to know why he wrote the first one. (sucker!)

umm... wasn't it solver that wrote it??

[Bill3000]

DL!

Actually, it was good. Too bad, I originally thought someone had a hold of the game.

Nice overview.

Good job Solver

Reading through this article just reminds me how much Firaxis has done to improve, solidify, and revolutionize CIV with every game they release.

Can't wait!

[Father Beast]

Of course!!

Snapcase IS Solver!!!

Good (P)review, but...

...Claiming a resource isn’t that easy either, as you must connect it to your city with a road, but you can only build roads inside own borders.

Italics added.

That's not my understanding. I thought that was another snafu from CtP2. Otherwise, a basically well written piece.

For the resolution problem, I know that on a 15" monitor that 800x600 is the standard, with higher res getting a bit small. Another $300+ for a decent 17" monitor (more if you get a brand-name; e.g., Apple). Actually, he is probably trying to save up for an LCD monitor, which would explain his griping.

Snapcase wrote last week's column. I can only assume that Mark cuts and pastes into each html doc each week and accidently left the bio for Snapcase in the place where Solver's should have gone.

Nice article!

But I'm still missing the translation of
the interview with Sid and the Civ III preview,
that I sent to Dan over one week ago.
Looks likes he's asleep or just lazy.

Dan, wouldn't it be time to finally publish
that article? Civ III is almost here!

[Deathwalker]

Good article, I must ammite though I never seen so many previews

[Solver]

Thanks for the nice words!
Well, I got my 800x600 problem solved after I wrote the article, shortly.


And yes, I am Snapcase .

[Provost Harrison]

How have you sorted the problem Solver?

[Solver]

I can tweak the rules so that it *does* run on 800x600, or play on a friend's monitor.
