This was in Ozymandias' wishlist he sent couple weeks ago. You thought I forgot this one, didn't you Oz? :D

Took time to think how to portray the transatlantic wireless cable of 1858, then got the idea to draw a ship laying it. Wanted to do the Great Eastern but looked at it and got discouraged because of the work the fine ship needs to make it look good. So I based the pic on one of the smaller ships.

Can be used as a coastal installation, as "doubles the research output" or/and +1 trade per tile type of wonder

Good job :thumbsup: I can't tell the difference between your buildings and the Firaxis ones. :)

The graphic looks great as usual, but isn't "wireless cable" an oxymoron? ;)

Got to admit that crossed my mind in the first time.

Brilliant! -- you should have your g.f. visit more often ... ;)

... You know, I'm very rarely at a loss for words, but I'm running out of ways to say "Thank you"!

All the Best,

Oz

It's not me. I've been having a break since problems with my pc ruined the better part of the summer.

I noticed our man of mystery, Rufus T. has certainly replied to my call to make better splashes - which they truly are. :goodjob:

But there is that strange connection...

Yeah, that name "R.T.F." obviously had me guessing.

I'm sorry to hear about your pc, but surely its lack didn't altogether ruin your summer??

Oh -- And does this mean you're back? :)

Best,
