That is strange...  I'm running 20041227, so I don't
know why I'd catch errors...  Still, if there are no
other reports, let's chalk it up to something uniquely
strange to my system, since the game runs fine.

You can set your naval units to be (naval true) as a
unit property.  I threw in (add naval naval true) and
it didn't seem to have any effect, which is strange
because I've noticed the AI is pretty good about not
producing naval units when land-locked.  I'll see if I
can find out why.

Well, there are still another five or six files worth
of Angband gifs that I have left to format for XConq,
so hopefully one of them has a great, big falcon. 
(Three of them are nothing but armor, potions and
weapons...  You know, if Eric wants to throw in some
support for items, hint hint)

And, if you do, try to differentiate it from a
neo-otyugh, at 32x32 pixel...  

As a side note, I think your Tarrasque can be
implemented by using a seed-unit (I use these in
Opal-rules) with a low-possibility starvation and an
initial stock of material that allows it to last as
many turns as you want.  After that, since the thing
is nigh-invulnerable, I'd say you could give it
another low-possibility attrit and wreck-type it back
into the seed-unit (That's it 'going back to sleep').

I figured.  It's apparant by the image used and its
functions, I'd just never encountered the word before.

Back to building my Behir army...
