Ok, printing the Complete Guide w/o looking at how big it is first is a BAD idea. Oh well glad I did it at work insted of at home. Cant wait to read and take the test.

I think this is a fantastic idea to get us more in dpeth knowladge of the game.

oh man I guess I should submit my answers :(
I hope I pass ;)

One thing though Read the cottage questions carefully it is kinda a trick one

Oh and it is best if you assume the game speed is 'normal' (that is the only way the questions correlate properly)

Also it follows suit because the guide to terrian improvement is based on normal speed:goodjob:

Since I do not own Civ4, and cannot check your save myself, I am awaiting Memphus's confirmation of your work.

Sorry for the delay.

I do not anticipate putting the answer key up, since I hope that we will continually attract new players. I want new players to always be able to take the courses.

This course is designed so that you don't have to have Civ4 to complete it. Simply read the strategy article, and answer the questions.

I highly recommend that we all do this one (which is why it is required for all "degrees"). The screen shots for Civ4 are a little bit difficult to understand from a Civ3er's point of view, and this course helps relieve that issue.
