	the zugguarit of ka-umen Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

the zugguarit of ka-umen is a heptagonal monolith crafted of obsidian blocks seven feet on a side, and its base set seventy-seven blocks on an edge. it rises seven stores into the air, with copper spires running up the verticies meeting at a single point in the center of the top tier. though the originial builders have long since vacated, and the purpose of this artifact lost, it is believed by sages that the zugguarit is some kind of probability mainipulator, greatly enhancing profits in favor of resident merchants.

however, in the city of Ka-Umen, violent crime and general animosity of the public at large seems to be at an all time high. other cities of similar size and stature do not suffer a third of the crime, and the source can only be assumed to be the zugguarit.

as an historical not, when Ka-Umen and much of the northern territories were overrun by Ueshethen barbarians during Fea's War (717-739 CE), the city was used as an impromptu capital by General Gunther Stalq, also the Premier of Fea's Legion. during the Night of the Tempest, the seven spires were struck innumerable times by a storm of such ferocity, the likes of which have yet to be seen since then. one survivor's account of that night recalls an eerie violet glow, and the sounds of inconprehensible whispering throughout Ka-Umen thant night. but the shock of finding the Ueshethen invaders dead by their own blades for two hundred miles around, was probably the greatest act of the mysterious zugguarit.

immobile units can be picked up by most units,
though i've found army and leader units can be fussy and go wrong if you mess around with them too much, maybe more experimenting is needed.
the AI dosen't know about transporting with land units or immobiles much though, only with Air transports, but its fine for players and MP.

Any unit can be captured, it dosen't need to be a worker .. your right it just has to have defence 0. You can stop units being built by deselecting the civ that can't build it.

Something that may solve your problems is haveing Wonders needed to build certain buildings, like Christianity wonder allowing Chistian Cathedrals to be built, and the wonder expiring when magics discovered etc.

and the science screens, which I'm working hard on now to get all lined up and even and everything.. I have Techs that used to have 2 or 3 abilities, but then the 'expanded' box stuffs up the screen display, so I move it and try to change the graphics and ... ALOT more respect for Civ makers, but then again, They have less Techs to Cram into the One Era.. If I had more Eras OR if you were allowed to research None Era techs, I'd have None of the problems I'm facing now...

I'll Start posting all the parts to my Mod, pretty soon, I'm cleaning up some of the graphics and aligning things, adding small bits for that little extra 'voialla'

I've done a total conversion, all the old leaderheads, all the graphics, the interface, the city screens, the palace views, the terrain (as the hand drawn in both colour & parchment) its all coming together now.. I'm, not going to have the actual FANTASY GAME done any time soon butt! I'm just concentrating on the Graphics side first, since I should be able to finish before sept. maybe I can get them on the C3C disk...

Self - biased, I'm having internet problems fiercely, I'm at an internet Cafe at the moment... tell you what, most of my 'names' are probably lame anyway... so heres the gist... Each of the special 'wonder abilitis' I'm going to make as quests, your town, sponsers a hero to complete the quest, and puts gold/resources into the completion. when its complete the town erects a tower/statue/temple/hosuing for sacred artifact retrieved, which bestows the ability or the now god like Hero grants his ability upon the town in question (a.k.a Wonder ability). This way it makes more sense that if two towns of opposing nations are going for a wonder that when one gets there first the other misses out entirely...

I mean seriously If you and I are both building the Pyramids, and we're within 2 turn of completion, and you get there first, what I'm going to tear it all down?? or not complete it?? no way... Buildings get built, end of story...

Ok, So whats my point?? Feel free to choose a wonder ability, name some 'magical artifact' or Heroic ability, write up the script for it.. and I'll put it in..

probably easier that the hassles I'm having emailing you.. or anyone else for that matter...

Seriously, you should release that scroll trade screen. Its awesome and could probably inspire a lot of people to help out with the fantasy mod.

Ok, Heres the situation, I'm 3 days away from completeing the Hand-drawn terrain, and then I have some Unit Art I'm drawing for EFR Games and Lords of Legend. Then I can get some down here...

As for Units, My roleplay Team said that Grahics are not High on the priority for this game I'm making, so I'm going to go for the 'card-board cut-out look' which means I can make HUNDREDS of units, each unit for each race and each specialty can be a unit, I'm using a CAD program to make the Graphic, simple but effectively shows what the unit is, Then as time goes by I'm sure people will contribute Units in 3D...

So Get out your D&D Monsters Manual and theres your Unit list!!! hehehe heres a Trog that I made in 2 minutes....
