It wasn't swedish. It was norwegian (I fell madly in love with a norwegian girl many many years ago, that's why). But I know Carolus is going to understand me (and danish readers too, if there are any on this forum nowadays) since norwegian is somewhere between danish and swedish (as a language, not on the map).
Power 3 means exactly what you wrote.
Then 1/(1+0,1)power 1=0,91
1/(1+0,1)power 2=0,83 (and so on)
These are to day's values of 1$ you receive next year or 2 years ahead, if you choose a "rate of discount" of 10% (which is rather short-sighted, but, as I tried to explain, you are perfectly free to choose it, if you think it helps you taking wise decisions).Hawkman
Rehoming caravans in a capital with Colossus, then sending them faraway is something I would consider quite profitable (it happens to me to do exactly that now and then). Go on playing the way you like. This is a game and I wouldn't like people to be playing it with computer #2 behind their back (though I heard it said that some people do exactly that, when playing MP; but I haven't bought MGE yet, so I don't care).

You speak norwegian?! Now, that was a surprise! Moi, je suis né à Grenoble. Mon père est francais et ma mère était suédoise. Ils se sont divorcés quand j'avais deux ans et nous (maman et moi) sommes retournés en Suéde. Chaque été je suis allé voir papa, mais il y a long temps maintenant que je ne l'ai pas vu, donc ca fait au moins six ou sept ans que je n'ai pas parlé ou écrit francais. Alors, ne vous vous mocquez (?) pas trop de moi et ces petites lignes. BTW, where on the keyboard do you find the little line that should be attached to the "c" in "francais" and "ca" to make it sound like an "s" instead of a "k? Also, I always confuse "ou" and "où". Which of them means "where" and which means "or"? Carolus |

And I understand your French, Carolus Rex, surprising to me since it's been over 25 years since I spoke that language (I could read and write it better than speak it). My languages are English, German, and French but it's been too long since I've used any German, too. Also know a little Thai and Japanese. One problem I have is mixing the languages, so I sometimes throw in a word from the wrong language and my family is quick to correct me. La Fayette, I agree with the reasoning that early trade routes can be very profitable. My reluctance to build many caravans for trade is simply the high cost (50 shields) for a small city. The game was well designed in this respect, to force the player to think about the hard decisions and realize there is a cost for each one. |

If you don't have a French keyboard you'll have to use an alternative method to get the cedille. You can either copy and paste it or use the ascii code. You press the alt-key and keep it down while you type the ascii code for the character on the number-pad at the right of your keyboard. Unfortunately I don't have a list of codes at hand, but I'm sure someone can tell you where to find them. |

I have a list of the "additional characters", as they're labeled, but it's from a DOS manual that's about 20 years old. My best suggestion is to try all the codes (127-255); the letters are grouped mostly at the beginning (ç = 135, ù = 151). | |
