My thought exactly  :D  They used to charge, apparently, but were confronted by angry people demanding refunds ...

OK, tried and failed to upload three times. Have zipped file - it is now *tiny* by comparison. I hope you don't mind - if it's a problem just say and I'll keep trying with the unzipped file.

Actually, that's a good idea. The 500 kb files we keep uploading here add up (~30 mb so far) and zipping the file (if you are bothered to do so) will actually make quite a difference to the poor webmaster's hosting costs as well. (Hats off to you gentlemen or ladies if you are reading this.)

I'm not sure about the server burden, but I was tempted to post to express approval of .zipping saves last time.  Thanks.

I didn't know that. Well that's a double-benefit then. Still very quiet over here - I really need to get off this island!

I am starting to hate mindworms. Morgan has now the best military on Planet. :D

I haven't seen a single worm in 36 turns I don't think - unless I popped one from a pod at some point and have forgotten.  ;lol

My battle Ogre is no more. Now I have an artifact running down across the continent by itself. I hope he makes it, but I doubt it. :P

I've also now witnessed another University Mining Laser battling a mindworm close my positions.

"Running down a continent" ... the stuff of which dreams are made   ::)  Pity about your ogre. That not healing thing is a bummer.

Uau, congrats. Did not think any of us were going to make that. Feels good to rob the University of that advantage too.

It's unusual for the Uni not to have it well before now. But I now have the means to leave my island. Finally!

Yep, you're right up there with the Uni and Morgan now, while I'm stuck in the back with Yang and Miriam. :P

Never fear my militaristic pal. Now ... all I have to do is build a little navy and find you.

I already have 3 port cities waiting for you... Maybe I should build more inland in case those get wiped out quick by marines. :D

In the years since our arrival, we have foolishly disrupted so many of Planet's ecosystems that entire species may vanish without our ever having understood, or even known them. We must halt this plunder, and halt it immediately, for our own survival as a species depends on our ability to strike a balance on this world.
~Commissioner Pravin Lal 'Mind Worm, Mind Worm'
