I've set up a Yahoo! group to use as a sort of mailing list / communication / file sharing thing, since - as someone said - this is starting to outgrow the thread. The group is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Civ3-SWmod I think you'll need a Yahoo account to join, but I'm not sure. Either...

Agreed - I'll set up a Yahoo! group, so we can use that. I'll post when it's sorted. I'll help!

Very impressive! Have you considered putting the "shallow water" bits as a very light blue, like the atmospheric aura around a planet? As it is, it looks a bit odd. Also, are you planning on having different "coasts" for different types of planet? For instance, Tatoooooooine (I never know when...

Mos Eisley is the town seen in SW:ANH. Most of the towns on Tatooine have names along the lines of Mos Eisley, Mos Espa, and so on (apart from Anchorhead, which was mentioned briefly in ANH). As far as I remember, Jabba's palace is outside Mos Espa. As far as the Hutts are concerned, remember...

No problem. Any e-mail account I can contact you at? If you don't want to put it on the forum you can mail it to me at torak@andrew-perry.com. I can do different palaces for each civ if you like, though it might take some time, since I work manually - not great at rendering (though I'll gladly...

Owen and Beru Lars had a moisture farm, which condensed water from the air using a vaporator. This was a large part of the Tatooine economy because of the dry climate. I can do graphics and stuff, particularly palace and city views seem interesting. Drop me a line at torak@andrew-perry.com

As far as I know, it's written in the Black Tongue of Mordor, a dialect of Dwarfish (though I'm sure Feanor (sorry) will correct me on that). It means, as anyone will know who's read the books or seen the film (so that's lots of normal people): "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find...

>(1) Gollum didn't get the Ring from the river bed, his friend did - who he murdered and took the ring from. Also, he was just "Smeagol" at that time and was a hobbit - it wasn't until after he became obsessed with the ring that he became "Gollum". Agreed - this could have been emphasised...

I suspect that Darth Sidious = Palpatine. They seem too similar, and I think George Lucas would have made them more different if they were different, just to avoid this sort of speculation. Thus: Chancellor Palpatine cons senate. Meanwhile, his secret identity does the groundwork for the con...

Aye, but ye've forgotten some places: Kirkcudbright Twynholm Castle Douglas (home of Threave Castle, the Black Douglas' residence) Gatehouse Of Fleet (Cardoness Castle) A' guid Scottish toons, roonaboot where I live. OK, I'll skip the fake accent. Typed accents dinna work.
