I went into Microsoft Word and used Symbol to put the alphabets in a Word document. Then I just cut and pasted. You have to use one of the more universal fonts, such as Arial or Times New Roman. Of course, you have to have installed the various options for other alphabets in Windows. I can’t quite remember how I did it now. I think you have to go to Add/Remove Programs and install Multi-language Support.

I have no idea how it would work with a Macintosh.

Except the last (bolded) four, yes. The last four letters are from another slavic language, perhaps Ukrainian. You are using Unicode, which is another clever method do portably display foreign characters.

We are realy democratic but we need to loose some of that democratic behaviour in order to move a little more effectiv. But i guess we will get that organized. At least we are known for beeing organized... though were i am there is chaos most sadly i just can't be everywhere

Hey, at least I didn't spell Koln as 'Cologne'. Although I didn't use the character code thingy in Koln, but that's just cause I'm lazy.

Berlin is a bit sucky, but that's part of what makes it interesting.

If you think your trains suck then I advise you never to travel by train in the UK. I think having to use our train system should be declared as a crime against humanity.

3 Ukrainian (which reminds me I forgot ґ ), the last Belorussian. I have the whole Unicode set on my work computer, so theoretically I could put Chinese characters and Korean syllables and Hindi letters up too. Want me to try it But since I’m in the Spanish team, I only have to worry about ñ though I think ŀl is a letter in Catalan. Not that this has any use for the game, unless I pretend to be Catherine and say Хотите ли обменять, а только любоваться моей красотой?

I love foreign characters, almost as much as I love squid Wouldn’t that be a great enhancement for Civ4, that the leaders speak in their own languages?

Ahh I remember living in Munich, it is certainly a beautiful city. Berlin....I saw the East Germans marching with the Soviets in a military parade long long ago...in 1989 I think it was. Very large, very cool city. Lots of history there.

Germany is probably the coolest country on the planet, or at least TOP 5. in my opinion. Living there for six years convinced me of that. I must go back, hopefully soon...

Hehe, this is the opposite to my account here: I am registered here since august 2000, but wrote not much, becouse of my bad english.

BtW, what are the post-stats (my stats are A: 8 | D: 1 | M: 1 | HP: 94) means? Hmmh... attack 8 is not much, but 1 def and 1 move is much weaker. But 94 HP is much!

Aro - I wouldn't worry much about the English - I can't understand some of the English-speaking folks.

My stats - I wouldn't know. 3 to 4 beer per hour is what I cruise at.

(yes team - unless I am the controller for Vox Controli, in which case I promise not to drink.)

Speaking of beer - some friends are calling from the bar - I gotta go.

Hello my friends of the Demogyptica team. I bring greetings from the Gathering Storm, and would like to introduce you to our new ambassador to Demogyptica. Alva848 has been appointed as the GS ambassador to your nation, and any official communication between our teams shall be done through him and myself, and your ambassador of course.

You can expect to hear from him soon. Thank you.

If you read the Strat or C3DG forums, you'll notice that many of us are fairly active here at 'poly... not touchy, just on top of things.

I predict that Meshelic will be one of the people who really make this work.

Theseus - yes I understand - I have been reading Apolyton and the Strat forums for close to a year now, and I fully appreciate how active folks are.

Where I seem to be missing the mark is on my sense of humour. Maybe it is too subtle. I welcome, nay, I enjoy the dialogue. If you take a look at our teams postings, you will find that I am very active and dedicated to making this work.

Having checked out all the civ sites around, I am sold on Apolyton for many reasons. Markos and Dan do an amazing job with the site. The strategy forums have improved my playing. The Democracy game is a riot. And best of all, yes, it would appear that the creme-de-la-creme of civ players live here. I have learned a lot from them.

So, I really do welcome Meshelic's quick reply - I was simply trying to imply a certain 'insecurity' underlying his mesage, both as a quick jab back, and to further solidify my link to the Neu team. In other words, I was into the game. Like the RolePlayers.

I too want to make this work. OK?

So you do have a sense of humour? Come now my friend BetaHound and my great General Theseus, let us toast our mighty nations and our great leaders! For sooner or later, our nations may rise in glorious war with each other and die valiantly on the battlefield! Or we may secure a friendship that lasts generations. Either way we live or die, so let us drink now and ask questions later.
