Civ IV: Colonization.

Civilization 4: Colonization

Is a great source of inspiration and information for my Dedhampton Revolution historical what-if campaign. Each nation has a different bonus and choice of different leaders with their own bonuses. You win by gaining independence from your homeland.

There are four issues to consider when playing

  1. The colony’s relationship/dependence on the mother country
  2. The importance of trade
  3. The relationship with the natives
  4. The plight for freedom

Wargaming Recon: New Logo

Jeremy Kostiew from MightyNightGaunt is working on a new logo for the show. He created the fantastic logos for the other shows on the Troll in the Corner Podcast Network. His work is still in the draft stage. But, you can see the logo on Facebook and Google Plus. The various incarnations are on the blog for your viewing pleasure.

Mailbag: Responses to WR79: 5 Reasons You SHOULD Shop at Your Friendly Local Game Store

Adam, from the Fencing Frog Blog, wrote in with reasons to shop at the friendly local game store

  1. Local game store pays for shipping
  2. Buy where you play especially if you pay for free. Treat the local store like your local bar.
  3. Shopping locally keeps the money you spend in the community where you live and work.

Remember the Steve Jackson quote, “Remember, gang: Support your local retailer or he’ll close his doors.”

Read my article Pay Where You Play? for thoughts on a compromise approach blending local game stores and internet vendors.

Question of the Episode

Where is the best place to get 10mm buildings/terrain suitable for the American Revolution? Do you think 15mm buildings are ok? Does it depend on the manufacturer such as JR Miniatures or Old Glory? What are your thoughts?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
