(Don't remember exactly how many days as it is quite some time ago now).

I agree, it's very easy to order the game over the net. I ordered the game on Thursday and I get it on Monday even so I live in Finland and I chose the slowest shipping method

First, the guy is less than a good player if he really needs the info in the FAQ to play the game. Most new players catch on really quick and only use the FAQ for specific info.

The FAQ is a tool, and like any tool, is intended to be used. Wether it was posted here, or else where, people, especially those who pirate, are going to get there hands on it.

I am not really mad at the guy who has the ripped Version of the game, I am angry with the jerk, oh my a flame, who ripped it for him.

AT your going to be upset with me as well.

I like to read the FAQ's As it is another manual for learning the game.

Sure you can jump right in and play.

But I always take the time out to read the manual and player faq's and do the tutorials.

That way I can decide if I want to invest a couple hundred hours of my time in a game.

he he

Cause 400 hours out of ones life is a huge chunk of time.

P.S. I only started playing the SE series for a few games while waiting for MOO3 and STAR2 Super Nova.

Damn time flies. I am still waiting.

Ok, new update:

- added section 17.3 courtesy of Stone Mill. (Stoney, had to kill all your smilies, the UBB choked after 8 of them)
- incorporated discussions in the FAQ thread from the Last update.
- added numerous new sections from summaries of recent threads here on the forum. Credit given to original authors, as always.
- added some brand new material sprinkled throughout.

Sorry for taking so long on this one, but the weather here has been too great to spend on the computer.

You could have at least answered the question...

Perhaps you should post a link to this thread at the top of the FAQ (the very top, not in the introduction section).

The text in question was not written by me, it was written by Stone Mill as is all of section 17 (as noted in the Table of Contents) unless he specifically credited it to another author. Therefore it is only proper that the original author should answer questions about his own entries.

However, since asked, I also think it may be wrong, but I haven't specifically tested it to be sure. I am fairly certain you can get multiple Resource Procurements on a single turn and I believe I have done so on several occasions. If anyone wants to specifically test this one to prove it one way or another, have at it. When I find time to do more testing, I'll post the results if someone else hasn't done so already. Out of common courtesy, I do my best to specifically test things before I add them to the FAQ (or answer questions) unless I am absolutely positive of the answer. This does not mean that I haven't posted some wrong info here (I have), but I do try to minimize inaccuracies and I would hope others would do the same.

In the future, if you would like me to answer a question on text written by someone else, please address the question to me and I will be more than happy to answer you.

Done. Thank you.
