todays notes -

cmyk issues with internet explorer... yar

ran a rootkit uninstaller on my deck today. good things.

my neck hurts.

finished typing the text for "THE PRINCE" theme expansion... so... that's on it's way.

finished a bunch of legwork on persia.

emailed a bunch of cool cats on deviant art about their art being in the game... added the art link on the main page...

what else...

my wife watched almost forced me to watch "pretty woman" but i got away just in time.

new years resolutions:

play more empires and generals.

spend less time watching robot chicken.

Website updates!

I know many of you have written to me asking me to fix the donate button...

Oh wait...

ONE of you wrote to me and asked me when I would have the chance to get the donate button working. It works now! Yeha! Thanks to my website provider for fixing the HTML5 issue with that.

:)

It sure would be nice to get a Christmas present from my loyal fans.

So...

Well the website is up and going in its new fashion. I understand Chrome should have fixed their HTML5 code that allowed you to right click and save JPG instead of HTM files and so I just gave up on them and went thru Blogger to host all of the files. It sure would have been neat to have it ALL ON ONE SITE but no, I am not a code monkey and did not know how to fix it.

Hopefully navigation will be a little easier for you.

I did some researching on what a great website needs and what all I offer and how to arrange it, and the skeleton looks good right now and will continue to develop. The For Sale area is next and then the Links area.

Also I would like to add a lot of pictures to the printing area.

Pretty sleepy at the moment so I won't do that.

(YAWNS)

I've been working on a novel also and sad to say I am only on chapter six... but my wife enjoys reading it. Her eyes bugged out when she ended chapter five. I like writing good fiction and that reaction was the best response I had gotten from her on anything I have done to date, except maybe a painting or two.

Ah painting. I miss you.

But back to writing...

I finished up poem 1500 and started writing poem 1501 yesterday. THAT was a GOOOOOD feeling. I posted some stuff on my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/JesuslovesPaulyHart

At any rate...

Pretty tired. Going to take a 4 hour nap and get back to work. I think I might try to bang out some more sense into the "Special Edition"... It seems pretty religious to me and that was kind of the intent, but there are a couple of cards I should move to the unaffiliated.

Oh yeah, I was going to brush up the rules too.

Empires And Generals Card Video

Ancient Japan

Here are some previously released cards that went to the Tokyo in Tulsa group back in July. Today they are yours. 

Ancient Japan used a lot of bamboo. You can too, if you trade coin for bamboo. Maybe you should  get Greece? Ancient Greece has cards in it to trade any resource from any other and turn it into coin to purchase other resources.

In Ancient Japan, the Jomon People were a big believer in "Terraphim" or household gods. Whatever the impact these little statues had, one cannot say that there was not a psychological boon to having your own personal mud and wood superhero. Since there were so many, I made one card with a variety of pictures... But, since this is a common card, you may have up to five Jomon Dogu in your deck. That was nice of me. :)

Strategy - Alliance Cards

Here are some new "Alliance" Cards for you.

There is nothing to worry about right now with the word "Alliance" but it will come into play later.

As of right now, they are played like regular strategy cards.

Also, at the left top you will find "Antiquity & Medieval" This is pretty much all that has been released up til now in the main Empires and Generals Game unless it is a "Trans-Dimentional" Card.

The last names of these cards reflect all of the wonderful families that have helped me get this game going... You know who you are. God bless you all and I hope everyone finds them exciting and new.

Hit me up on the forums if you have questions.

Samuel the Gravedigger and Michael the Baker

Mike and Sam are a couple of guys that I work with. They got me Christmas presents, so I repaid them in kind. I hope they like these gifts. I think fame is cooler than stuff.
