Couple of newbie questions

[Fyron]

Nearly everything on there is debatable Tesco. Except things like 110 maintenance reduction is a must have minimum... playing with anything lower is just silly.

Hey, Fyron, I checked out that link. As I stated earlier, I read it and found it very informative. However, I d/l that file that you had a link to at the end, and now when I tried to open it, I can't read it. It's a .emp file, and I have no idea what program I'd have to use to read it. What do I need to read it?

[Sivran]

psst, .emp files are empire files.

DOH!! I wasn't even thinking that. I was thinking more of a HTML reader or something like that. Thanks.

Hehehe, the newbie gives advice to the old-timer! This will become a classic thread!

Wow, that reeks of the rank stank of cheese. (no offense to the person of same handle) If that's the type of near-cheating one needs to do in order to win a PBW game, I am seriously considering not ever playing PBW again.

[Fyron]

Umm... yeah... this is the information that most people pick up on after their first dozen or so PBW games... I just put it all into one place. It is not near-cheating in any way shape or form.

it is definitally cheese, though.

and the guys name is Cheeze, so no connection.

Any analysis of the game could be called "cheese." Might as well label the Newbie FAQ "cheese" too. Those nasty Strategy Articles and all... plus all the other info that is of a similar nature to my Min-Max article...
