Welcome to our new members! :CONGRAT: Good to see quite a few of us posting here too. :)

Just saw the Return of the King yesterday. Best movie I've ever seen. :D Even my wife wanted to watch it again and re-read the books even though she's not a fantasy buff. And it seems like the Fellowship has been awarded the Empire of the Year award. Congrats everyone! :CONGRAT: ~SDC~
What a wonderful gesture from Stardock. Thank you. :D ~SDC~
Well done, vincible and well done to everyone who has contributed to our cause! The Fellowship achieves its hat-trick of million breakthroughs. :CONGRAT: :HOT: :CONGRAT:
LOL That's a first, vincible. About 2,500pts left to 4Mil. :) [Message Edited]
Less than 5,000 pts away. :CONGRAT: Who is going to get the honor of tipping us over 4Mil? :)
Happy New Year to all in the Fellowship! And three cheers for us for holding on to First going into 2004! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
Seems we lost 1-2 members recently. We are still favourites to reach 4 million first though. Keep up the good work everyone. :)
Tough luck, Theoden. :( Really hope to see you at Star Chamber soon, vincible. The game has been on Gamespot #1 (hits) for 4-5 days now and the gaming population has grown from 50 to 500 in the past week. ~SDC~
I'll be going for a retreat with my church group over the next few days. Wouldn't be around much. Take care everyone and have a blessed Christmas. :)
All the best, Alex. :) ~SDC~
Seems like wanderlust has taken hold of some Overlords. Quiet times around here too. I'm personally enjoying myself with Star Chamber at the moment but will be active once the Altarian Prophecy Beta moves along. No one wants to try Star Chamber? Was hoping to go plant the Fellowship flag over at that universe as well. :) ~SDC~
I've been trialing a new online multiplayer (currently only 1vs1) collectible card space 4x TBS game called Star Chamber. It got a very good review at Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/starchamber/index.html). You can play sample games online as a trial player and I played 5 games yesterday. I've been looking for a good TBS multiplayer game to play online and I think I've found it. Each game took an average of 1/2 hr and it was very intense. Frequently the
Well done on another hard fought Maso victory, Smeagol. Play at your own pace, don't worry too much about the number of games submitted. :) Apologies regarding my lack of contribution wrt story writing, going through a dry spell at the moment. ~SDC~
Greldon, Congrats on winning your first Maso games over the weekend! :CONGRAT: And a warm welcome to our two newest members of the Fellowship, thenameless83 and jfavre! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: ~SDC~
brasscorpion, Can you elaborate on your problem? ~SDC~
Usually they are missing because the bonus pack is not installed. ~SDC~
Played a very short 1.49b game which unfortunately cannot be reloaded. The Alexians did not buy during that game and since Frogboy said that the AI is the same as 1.13, it means that even the Alexians do not always buy techs for cash in Maso. Playing a new 1.13 game now and both the Alexians and Caris are buying. I wonder whether there is a systematic reason behind whether minors will buy or not. I'm currently playing with a whole host of mods including very old ones l
Smeagol, From what I understand, the main stuff for Beta #1 are the editors. The additions to the main game itself are still minor at this point in time. New pics for Alexians and Caris plus some new galaxy settings are all I found so far.
I've got DirectX 9.0b and XP Home. I can launch the editor but the system locks-up after I try to select the new map size. Noticed that dragging the new map box around lies shadows on the starmap. Maximising the Editor got rid of the shadows but still doesn't work. Tried loading one of the beta maps as well but same result. ~SDC~ [Message Edited]
The Special Forces bunker. Just a wild guess, Alex, that Wombie is trying to recruit you, judging from the the post in which he asked you to email him and then your post subsequently about receiving a call. :) ~SDC~
My Direct3D settings are: Wait for vertical sync: On W-buffer support: On Compressed texture format: On Z-buffer bit depths: 16;24 Anti-aliasing: Application preference 2X Dithering method: Use error diffusion dithering ~SDC~
It says Radeon 7200 AGP (QD) 32MB. Does it help? ~SDC~

Anyone else having problems loading games? I've started another map. Played a few turns, save and reloaded it. CTD.
