        Impressive.
        I still wonder if we really need this.  Civ2 allowed you to define
your own nation with titles, etc, so that the Lilliputians, Klingons,
Atlanteans, Daleks, or any of a series of other strange and wonderful
nations that struck the player's fancy could be experienced.
        It really would be useful to have a "custom" race button in the
nation selection dialog, but I don't know how flexible the initial loading
code is.

        Definitely thanks for the offer.
