Nothing big, no slashdotting or anything (I agree with Coop that this should wait until 7.5), but just a few messages on a few boards about XConq and the various games one can play. To that end, I think we should tidy up the In Progress/Release list of games that show up when you start a new game, so that it puts the engine's best foot forward. My initial votes go for the Standard Game, the various Advanced Games, my own AWLS, Opal and Star Fleet Battles, the Civ port and Galaxy 2. I'm not too familiar with the rest, but I think it'd be good to stabilize Bellum Aeternum and Wreckreation, because these are current projects, and I would be happy to lend a hand, if there's anything I can do. I'd also like to set the Standard Game to default on the Trident graphics, at least just for this release, because it'll be a first impression kind-of-thing. If this is acceptable, then we'll also need to put up a new splash screen so that new players know. Elijah __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!
