Do your tropical troops have scarves? Then you need aedit aedit is a curses driven program that creates orders for you. It takes as its input your report file, and produces a menu-driven command listing for each unit. No more typos! No need to add up numbers any more! aedit will be given to anyone who offers nice things to The Repulic Of Plato's Granchildren. Also will be given to anyone willing to continue development, i.e. port to a PC, add new features, port to Atlantis 2. All you need is C++ and a curses library. Email s.michnowiczx@trl.oz.au for more info. ######################################################################## With much grieve we inform all the inhabitants of Atlantis that once powerful and vast Empire Z1 no longer exists. Having missed two reports in a row the ruler could neither sustain due order nor protect the borders from numerous foes. Thanks to all those factions with whom we lived together and cooperated to the mutual benefit and to the BG for running the game. ######################################################################## The reports of the battle were good. Once again Anime had had the tactical advantage but superion sword skill had greatly crushed his army. Little remained, Omar couldn't help wondering if he would respond this time. It still troubled him that he had had to dispatch with the faction in this way. They could have been allies if only anime hadn't attacked a year ago. Since then he had been training his army to take revenge for the hundreds of workers slaghtered. So much fighting, it didn't make sence, not when VOX was so close at hand. He sighed and looked out of the tower over the battlefield. Perhaps Youta had been fooled into believeing that VOX would leave him in peace, in peaces would be more likely. However he wouldn't get the chance unless Youta communicated before next month. Preparations were alread underway to round up and slaughter the survivors. --- meanwhile slightly further away Ekij looked once again checked to see if there was any response from VOX, and once again saw that there wasn't. A creature with an EGO that large was sure to respond to the insults thrown at him last month, IF he had got them. Perhaps he would respond in the times. Why did he have to meet him HERE in Atlantis and not in MUSAD, he grinned to himself. He could just see VOX hidden away somewhere in the back of castle CHESS. Pity VOX hadn't the mental aptitude to chose an original name. ######################################################################## Undine and her friend Selene are sitting on the roof of Tarraspan University. They are watching the beautiful sunset in the western mountains. "Great look" Undine says, "I love those pink clouds and their contrasts to the blue mountains. Its really like a picture, isn't it?" "Hmmmmm", hums Selene. She seems to dream about ????. The sun is sinking and sky is getting darker and darker. But what is this: there seems to be a light in the mountains - where no light should be - that couldn't be the light of the miners fire places. WHAT IS IT?? "Ehh, Selene, wake up, look at that light. What, what could this be?" , Undine asks. Selene yanks out of her "beautiful" dream. "Uhh, Undine, thats strange. I hope this is not - what I think it could be!" Undine: "What - what do you think! That couldn't be ..." But it could ... and so the dragon awakes in Sines killing a lots of brave men. ######################################################################## Jungle has been left Well finally the forces of the northern wind have been able to leave the dark Banana-jungles. They are now in their familiar environment. The horses can be mounted again and big pesant populations are ready to join the fight against svages and oppressors from the nobility. General Daq is a bit worried if no savages will return into the deep forest again. If this happens he promises to deploy a jungle ranger corps that can guarantee the safety of the peaceful jungle inhabitants a hard working lumberjacks. The OCTAGON turist board are also letting know that they maybe plan to establish a new cruising trip from the north of Vashcort over to the south tip of Banana-land and then eastward when the situation has calmed down. The president of the board also hopes that the cruising trip could make a stop in the exotic moutains of Jazkat in the future. ######################################################################## =-=-= END TIMES 601 =-=-= ######################################################################## Up
