That's what I heard over 7 months ago when I first sent in the patch. I've come
to the conclusion that gen-impr will be always be a month away. I have a
schedule. I'm trying to complete 100% Civ 2 compatability within the month. I
won't have time after that. 

Except of course for the senate. I will never implement that piece of brain
damage.

Apolyton. That link I posted up top. Easy way to test if you have Civ2. Go to
the Cheat menu, create 10 partisans, 10 caravans. Do the same test with 10
riflemen, 10 caravans. Just change rules.txt riflemen attack to 4 to make it
equivalent.

Good generally conquers evil. Unless, of course, good is stupid.
