    NS...LOL...you're right! I've got the same version at the house! Of course, I've long been a fan of outdated software (which is why I LOVE the underdogs site!

    MarkG: Will re-send the larger graphic to you this evening when I get home, using the alternate e-mail addy !

    As to Amazon....sadly, no plans in the works to post the ol' gal there The exposure would be tremendous, but because of the commissions they charge (55%!), to even make it break even, I'd have to charge a criminal amount for it....

    But...that's okay too...the real reason I wanted to get her in the shape she's in now....the people I did it for are all right here at Apolyton anyway...

      You and me both, Vel.

      Why don't you arrange to sell it through Apolyton too? Of course, if your contract with BookSurge prevents that, you're stuck. Just an idea to throw out...

        Congratulations, Brother Vel - 'tis a fine piece of work indeed.

        (for the record, I have removed v 3.0 from the SC site, and put a link to the publisher's order page instead)

          Ok, I tried and I can see the document now.

          One problem, though, it seemed from it, and from your talk earlier, that you had embedded a whole lot of links and bookmarks, but I can't see a single one in the doc!

          Could it be that the links was made with a third party plugin, which I have now disabled?

            Bless you, Brother Googlie! And thank you....our discussions and debates from long ago (with all of those other 'Greybeards' )were the genesis for the work as she stands now....added to over time as more and more voices came and went here....this work is truly a testiment to all the fine talent on the board!

            Bond...yeah... That was the one thing I was disappointed about, and the primary reason for all the delays. They tried valiantly to get the internal links to work properly, but could not, and in the end, we had to remove them....:: pout::

                Thank ya Mark! And here's hoping that when I'm ready to crank out a Civ3 guide they don't take quite so long!

                  :shrugs: Oh, it's ok then. A nit hard to read a pdf that long without any sort of indexing, but I'm reading it right now and have been for the past few hours, so it can't be that bad.

                  It's the first time in quite a while I read the guide now, so I can't really say what is new except for those last few pages.

                  It is very, very good stuff, even if I disagrees with you on some points.

                    Hi Vel!

                    I just bought my very own copy. great stuff and much superior to v3 of the Guide! this sure makes me wish there would be an upgrade to SMAX.

                    BTW, have you seen the ads for Empire Earth? it's like next-gen Age of Kings. check it out at: www.empireearth.com

                        It looks wonderful Vel! I've purchased the electronic version of it but I would love to have the printed version but I'm not prepared to pay the high postage cost. Is there a *cough* way to buy it direct from the *cough* author?

                        Thanks for all your hard work and for the clarity of your writing. I can't wait till you get your teeth into Civ 3!

                          Vel,

                          I just ordered the paperback version, which will be delivered to my home for just over $20 (US) - a massive bargain considering the long hours of toil you have put into it! Keep up the good work, and I look forward to any other ventures you may have.

                              Morning guys, and thank you all again!

                              I still can't quite get used to seeing the bound edge of the SMAX guide sitting on my bookshelf....that's pretty heady stuff!

                              And I appreciate more than I can express that so many people have taken an interest in purchasing the guide!

                              You guys rock!

                              PS: SITS - An excellent idea, but I don't actually have any copies--save for the galley proof--that I could sell.... Sorry 'bout that guy.

                                Just ordered my copy.

                                Thanks for all the hard work Vel and all the Apolytonites who helped him with all the strategies.
