I somehow doubt it =(, oh > well, I have no one to play it with =(. The answer is YES! There is finally an AI to play against (do a civserver -h to get the commands). Unfortunately the AI, even at normal level, is about 1000x better than me. Let's put it this way - I had chariots and he had destroyers and tanks at 300 BC. The only way to last into anywhere near present time is to put a couple or 3 AI's in and let them beat on each other some. A single AI will completely dominate you and you won't learn much. You can also find network games (there's a metaserver although I haven't figured out how to get to it - a civclient -h should do the trick). Brett -the last message I saw as the AI's tanks rolled over my phalanx: "France has finished building the SETI project." ****************************************************************** Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ "There is something uncanny in the noiseless rush of the cyclist, as he comes into view, passes by, and disappears." - Popular Science, 1891 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
