Happiness in Darkness -An Argatha Ktonian Dead AAR

I was sure I said how cool this AAR is, but it seems like I didn't really post in here.
In that case...

Patala and Jomon?

But Patala and Jomon also exist as new nations in the old eras...

Wonderful, I love that smiley.

Thanks Boron, for giving us this detailed AAR packed with screen shots.

As JaydedOne mentioned before, it makes the waiting for dom-III both more and less bearable.

Attaching a screen shot. I trimmed it to keep the size reasonable.

Enjoyed reading your AAR but feel like I am really missing out by not viewing the thumbs.

That looks indeed evil .

Normally it should look like in the attachment.
I have to use thumbnails imho by the masses of screenshots i use, otherwise for ppl with modem or isdn one thread page with 2-3 AAR chapters would probably load for 15 minutes or so .

Does anyone know another good picture host service?
I do not necessarily need to use imageshack .

Also does anyone else have the same problems as Ballbarian?
If you view it with other browsers like netscape or internet explorer do you have the same problem?
Or maybe another reader knows what to do to solve Ballbarian's problem?

The AAR works fine on my Mac at home and my PC at work.

No problems on internet explorer here.

I also use imageshack and not sure of another picture hosting site.

Found the problem. For some reason my EZ Trust firewall was blocking the thumbs. Haven't figured out what it didn't like about them, but at least I can get the images now. If it turns out that others are having similar problems, and if it were not too much extra work, a simple work around would be to post a text link to the image following the thumb.

Thank you for the AAR and your help!

Hm that might indeed be the better idea. Future screenies that are bigger than ~ 50 kb i post only the direct link. Cause on the Thumbnail you cannot see anything anyways but it uses 40 kb or so too, that are another 5 seconds for someone with isdn to load. And if there are 40 thumbnails per threadpage that would be 40x5 seconds then .

Yeah i know exactly how you must feel . And i am a very impatient person often so if i wait for something i really want even something like 5 days are for me like waiting for a year .

They are named differently for each era.

Early era "india": Kailasa
Middle era "india": Bandar Log
Late era "india": Patala

Early era "japan": Yomi
Middle era "japan": Shinuyama
Late era "japan": Jomon

Edit: I am awfully sorry but today i somehow had never 2-4 hours time in a row to continue the AAR. But since i only play Eu2 MP on tuesday and wednesday and the tuesday MP is now over this should mean that tomorrow and on friday i can write at least 1 new chapter. And i will try to write an additional chapter for the promised but now not written finish of the 2nd chapter.
Since i have semester holidays with luck i hope to finish the AAR till October, so that it is finished about when Dom3 gets released .
