Martin, etc,

Not that my opinion should mean much, but I always just turn off wonder
movies, Palace, etc as soon as I start CivI,CivII, etc.  To me they are
meaningless fluff.  

If someone _wants to_ implement a Palace or something similar, then more
power to them.  However, if someone with the graphics expertise is
looking for a way to contribute to the game, I think this would be way
down on the priority list in terms of adding value. 

This being my first (and likely last for a while) email to the list, I 
just wanted to thank you guys for doing a great job on this game!  

Best regards,
