Points for referencing the weirdest cartoon of the last half-century. Do you plan on creating rocknrule.g after that? The problem here is when the AI decides to research Arcane Focus and then wastes it's points researching overly expensive Technology rather than the more efficient Magic. I overcame this problem in Opal (Where the AI would research every magic type rather than, as I'd hoped, just one or two) by manually shutting off all but two 'Schools of Magic'. Otherwise, it shows remarkably poor choice in its research selections. That's why I'd like firm a shut-off like advance-prohibits-advance. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
