- Gee, I must be an idiot. I've played it for 2 weeks on the easiest level, and
- I'm getting my clock cleaned. I get up to about 1M people at about year 1AD,
- and then things sort of stagnate. I always end up with about 600K people, and
- a rating of Nero. What's the secret of building a civilization up from the
- 6 cities/1M people part?
-
- Also, on the easiest level, the game will frequently hang when I select
- "CHANGE" from the city menu. Its at the part just when its supposed to
- get advice from my councellors. I have a saved game, in fact, that will
- consistently hang a machine.
-
- And finally, a challenge to any hacker. Come up with a patch that eliminates
- that 10 minute dirge in the beginning of the game. Did the programmer really
- think this was cute after the first time?
