So, have they fixed enough of the bugs in AP to make it playable? I might need to go ahead and download it sometime this week...

Yes, they seem to have "fixed" the medals. Sorry.

The only annoying problems I had were: a non buildable paladin (althought I sent my save to Cari, and she told me that it builded it fine on her PC -- I restarted the game I sent her, and still could not build it ... go figure???). One invisible bug star (towards the end, that caused a CTD and made the save I made & the autosave unloadable, but the previous worked fine -- I set it to save every two turns now). The third thing I forgot. Wasn't that important. Some people have been having more trouble with it, but on my machine it works fine and make things really more interesting.
Yes, I remember now: towards the end, and for +/- 10-15 years one of the new AI stopped all military spending! They went from broke to richest from being behind in tech to first, etc. It was a clear demonstration of how military expenditure can be a burden to a nation. In this particular case, the only downside was being invaded by me, a former ally (*treatorous smile*). It wasn't my intention, but the last bug (I noticed) is that all victory conditions are off, except military. I was aiming at an alliance vic, and was forced to "assimilate" my allies. In this instace, resistance was futile  .

You haven't gotten any snow yet Terl? I would've thought upstate NY would have been hit pretty hard by now. Or are you talking about more snow?

"what are the new races like?"
Ugly 
I don't really know how to describe them. The Korx Syndicated managed to stay to the end of my (small) game. They are the ones who stopped military spending.
The other ones (Drath I think) gave up right from the beggining, so I don't even remember their faces.
In the game I played I had the feeling that alliances worked better, with less repetitive wars. Specially the treaties window looks great now: it has lines going in all directions, all colors , all over the place. It's harder to manage having good relations with everyone, since there is always someone at war, and you can't stay pals to both sides. By the way, alignement seemed to matter a lot in that case (maybe it was just a coincidence).
And since minors are strong too, there is really a lot of people in the galaxy now, as well it should be.
Going back to the korx, they made a really nice start. We were friends almost at once. The only problem is taht their influence color is the same as the Drengin in the minimap, so I had the impression that the Drengin had, right of the bath, 2/3 of the galaxy under their influence (how cute their femeles must be, i thought, until I realized my mistake  ).
And I had a revolution event, very nice: everybody was pissed off at me on my planets, and then revolution. Only problem: no planets broke off  (as it is supposed to). May theory is that both my planets broke off (  ) so that no change was noticeble, except for the thousands of bc's I received: I guess the revolutionaries seized all the goods from the former ruler (an homonym of mine, also called Nastavnik ) and and sold it to the best bidder! I went from -5000 before to 10040 after... I kind saved me.  . I guess one revolution from time to time is not a bad thing

Well, that settles it. I'm going to d/l AP sometime this week (if I get time).
Terl: good luck! Remember to shovel using your legs, not your back!

|
Good idea! Yes, I never remember to archive either...

| I hope it's nothing too serious |
|
Not serious as in life threatening in any way. It is diagnostic stuff for my wife. We don't have a health insurance system like yours so we have copays, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket costs. Some companies have better, some worse, and some have little if any. Big issue here...
| dentist, I'm still paying for the later, 8 months after he finished the work... --ie turturing me on his chair |
|
I have always wondered what goes through a young man's head when he decides to do that for a living... really, dentistry, funeral homes, proctology.... I could see fireman, policeman, soldier...
| they're about to "reform" it |
|
Reform as in cut all benefits to save money?

Just to keep everybody up-to-date about where we are:
1 Special Forces Wild Wombat 17 869 4366127
2 Fellowship of the Ring Ray the Wanderer 83 1176 4319512
3 European Alliance _G-Force_ 145 1170 3637770 |
|
Keep it up!

Jobs that never get cut. These are actually great careers compared to firefighter (dangerous), police officer (see firefighter), soldier (ummm...crazy dangerous).
Think about it...
Dentist: We all need to have our teeth cleaned and the most dangerous thing about it is somebody might bite your finger.
Funeral Director: Everybody dies. There's never a shortage of product to make money on. And nothing's safer, they're already dead! I've got a couple of funeral director friends.
Proctologist: Just like opinions, everyone's got one. And they need to be checked occasionally. Just watch out for the explosions!!!
Turn your head and cough, please.

as I had to do a bit of maintenance on my wife's pc. Hopefully the weather guys are wrong and the snow will skip on by so I can play tonight instead of cleaning up snow.
