Thanks for greetings.
My problem in accessing the Apolyton Forum was not the www.
Our firewall had blocked me. Now the problem seems to be disappeared.

Only short story,
After a short reign of only 13 turns Thoddy must retire, due to illness.
At the beginnig of my turn I saw some cities starving, because of settler support (food and shields). Keep some eyes open.
My first priority was to establish more income. I rushbuild some monetary improvements and in this way our cash flow grows from
expenses 107 and income 143 to 141/262. Research is 4 turns.
We have now almost 10 million people in our fine Empire.
Americans build Hoover Dam, someone else Bachs Cathedral.

 Problems, gang. Just got the file, unzipped it, and tried to play. Instead I got this message: "Failed to load game. File in obsolete format." Any ideas about what that may mean or how to fix it? If not, i guess I have to pass, having enjoyed a brief, Al-Gore-like almost-presidency.

Dig trenches, with our men being killed off like flies? There isn't time to dig trenches. We'll have to buy them ready made. Here, run out and get some trenches.

In 1851, newly-elected Consul Rufus T. Firefly years developed a 4-point agenda that could be summed up in one word -- "more": more people; more cities; more income; and more scientific advance more quickly. Beyond these goals, the appalling corruption in cities on the edge of the empire led Firefly to desire to replace the ancient Republic with a modern Democracy, so that the old wealthy elite would relinquish their seats in the Senate in favor of men and women who would be instead the lapdogs of the old wealthy elite. After consulting the ancient Scrolls of Odeo, he decided 1855 would be a good year for this change; and so it was.
Judged by his own goals, the Firefly presidency would appear to be a success. By the time he retired in 1871, the population of the Alien Empire had more than doubled, from 9,980,000 to 21,430,000; 16 new cities had been founded, and Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Zoot Suit, Be Bop, and Almost Blue in particular were beginning to flourish. The net income of the empire doubled (from 121g per annum to 233g), while the rate of scientific discovery had been halved (from four years to two). Magnetism, the Steam Engine, Metallurgy, Railroad, Industrialization, Electricity, Electronics, and the Corporation had all been discovered; a breakthrough on Atomic Theory was expected in 1872, and space flight before the end of the century seemed possible. The only disappointment of his tenure was the continued loss of wonders, as the "Americans" built the SETI Project and discovered the Cure for Cancer, while the "Spanish," more distressingly, built the Manhattan Project. As he retired to the recently founded resort town of Duck Soup, then, he must have rued the fact that history would remember none of this, and would recall only his walk-in humidor and his comely, if zaftig, intern.
Game sent to Julius and Scouse Git in one piece of e-mail, Thoth in another (I only just saw his reply). Good luck Thoth!

Will do.
The reign of Thoth proved to be a profitable one. Continuing the campaign of development started by Rufus, only three cities were founded (Slime Pit, Whut? and Huh?). A small army of engineers were constructed to improve the land for our rapidly expanding cities. Many freight and much infrastructure were completed during the Thoth years. Population has increased to 55, 800, 000
and our net income is now 890g per turn, with advances every turn.
Atomic Theory, Refining, Steel, Combustion, Automobile, Refrigeration, Conscription, Chivalry, Leadership, Fundamentalism, Tactics, Amphibious Warfare, Machine Tools, Mobile Warfare, Miniturization, Comunism, Espionage, Mass Production, Recycling, and Nuclear Fission were all completed by 1891. Nuclear Power is expected in 1892.
Pollution is starting to become a problem, but several mass transits have been rushbuilt, and others are under construction to be completed by my sucessors.

how do you enlarge a map? like enlarge a small world map of civ to a maxisize? succeeded in getting a Chiron map from SMAC into Civ2, but just need to figure how to enlarge it :/ would of been interesting to play a earth map and play aliens on the Chiron map

This was looking intersesting. I'll have a go if you need an extra player.
Cool! Julius, send the file to johngroch@yahoo.com (why, oh why won't Apolyton accept yahoo addresses?). Am I to play 10 turns or 20? I'll play it this weekend and pass it on (please make it this weekend, though, if you can; my students begin turning in their exams on Monday).
Having done so, I'm ready to rock (though that hardly seems the word for our current position).
email: dv685@ncf.ca
and you ?
. It would be interesting to see whether, after the long game of catch-up, we end up building Apollo after all! And me, I teach media studies at a university in Turkey, though I'm originally from the States.
