SP Mental attack questions

This is like searches. It tells you that you found a gem site, but you can only click on the commander, who is sitting in a lab somewhere. I don’t know a way to go straight to the province in question.

I can't help with the Mind Duel attack, but as far as searches go, it does give you the province. Rather than searching manually through the list of provinces, you can jump directly to it if you use the "#" hot-key, as long as you know what the province number is. I put it on the wish-list to include province number as well as name in messages, but until then you can use this little program I wrote to generate a reverse directory for provinces from the map file. Here is the reverse directory for Glory of the Gods (multiplayer).

Unfortunately you have to print out the list or alt-tab out of Dominions, but I hope that helps.

You have a funny middle name, Max

Yeah, well, it's my mother's maiden name. Nobody is quite sure how it's supposed to be pronounced because although her father was Filipino, his lineage wasn't. (Filipinos think it's a funny name, too.)

If you actually want to replay the old turn, you need to save all the files in the directory (including the fthrland file, which saves the state of the world as opposed to just the piece of it player X is aware of). But as long as you do that, restoring an old game is perfectly simple--just copy the files back.

Go with what Google suggests: "Maximilian Damnation Wilson"

Okay, Ich, at this point making fun of other people's names begins to be offensive.

Huh, I didn't mean to offend at all. I was rather making fun of google's suggestion than your name because it doesn't recognize the word, another example for a poor choice by the machine. Sorry for that, then.

[MaxWilson]

All right, it's cool.
