What do you think?

*lol* How does a Dogroll compare to an eggroll?

One thing the AI seems to ignore, is the maximum allowed treaty parameter. I have set that to T&R, but have seen the Vikings enter military alliances and partnerships in spite of that.

I can't find the thread where I read it, but ISTR some speculation that that setting only limits what the AI will offer, not what it will accept.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

I see. Thank you for the info, capnq.

I have been very busy this summer (4 different weddings to go to, stag nights, holidays, visiting people... I haven't had a weekend "off" since June and won't have another until at least October) so it might be a loooong time before the Viking images are done. Please be patient and bear with me though, I will get there and I would hate for someone else to beat me to it.

Hopefully I'll have more time then and will be able to help you make 3d models based in your drawings. The simple-geometric shapes of your ships should be a piece of cake after the dragons I'm working on now.

OK, there is at least one new image on the space vikings page, in *Glorious technicolour*. Yes, I finally got round to colouring something in. Take a look and tell us what you think.

I've noticed a few mistakes on the image which I'll sort out tonight. See if you can spot them all=-)

Feedback would be appreciated, especially about which courier image to use. (I've only had one or two opinions on that so far)

There is also a flag image, which I haven't posted. To see that you'll have to wait for Rollo's next AI release (soon, I believe.)

To see it, go to the Space Vikings Official Homepage

Man it's quiet this afternoon...

Anyway, I will be posting *another* viking update in about... ooh... 3 hours' time. There will be no less than 3 (three!) new ship designs, with another "which do you prefer" survey.

Please take a look and tell me which courier is better, and which ark ship.
