Concerning my occasional computer problem, so far I have discounted it as being a problem with my PC. But I could be wrong. I purchased my Dell w/Windows/XP Media Center just a couple months before I bought RTW. I have 1G of Ram, and I kicked up my virtual storage memory to 2G. Never can tell, though. I may need to tweak something.

It might be fun one of these days to have members of the Guild hold some kind of "live" get-together or seminar. Probably a pipe dream. Maybe even dangerous. Some of us would have to travel a great distance. But I would love to watch some of these serious veterans play the game and learn from their techniques.

I can't imagine trying to help manage a website and hold down a day job at the same time, let alone still have time to play RTW. So I'm impressed that our moderators show so much dedication to the Guild.

I want to purchase Alexander when it comes out in the Eras package. I don't mind having an extra copy of RTW in cd form, since I expect I will wear out my current CD from "sword arm" overuse.

Your friend Seamus is one whose posts I pay particular attention to.

I like the UK flavor of the Guild and its membership. But I have enjoyed some recent posts from folks in Spain and Portugal. Some young guy, STW, from Spain posted a screen print of his Egyptian occupation of Greece and the money amounts he was producing in the Greek cities were just awesome. A 6000+ amount from Athens!! I don't think I would have believed it if I hadn't seen his screen shot. I have topped 4000+ just once out of Athens but nothing close to what this guy was getting.

See you around.
Best wishes,
Guyus
