Wonderful. Some programmer got lazy and actually designed a template for screenshot pages, forgetting to round up after he included a "divide by six" operation...

The fix was fast because it was a server replication error, but nonetheless, you win yourself a no-prize.

Sigh, I guess I'll just go play Civ III for a while to drown my sorrows.

No, 'twas an even sillier thing, I didn't have the necessary "placeholder images" at the end a completely different file. I guess my college professors were right when they said cutting and pasting was evil.

Bad boy, you try to make us very envy... OTOH you are probably stumbling on every left bugs and umbalanced features

Just kidding. Hope you at Firaxis have already cleaned up the code so well to gain a prize for "Stable as a rock, fine tuned as an Atomic Clock" ... or is it the other ways around?
