This time you can go to the page, the UBB code idea of the last pix post was a bloody disaster. All of these pix are from a game I'll write an aar about (if I ever get around to it..).

Not too bad to load - about the same time as usual. Modem 56k.

Should have DSL soon, and its about time! DSL is finally reaching my area - in this high tech region of the U.S.! Found the first provider so far. Others are on the way.

I have to admit, good friend from down under, that I was rooting for Venice.

Thanks for the screenies, defective as some may have been, we all appreciate the effort.

Heh, I just got the pictures in about 1.5 seconds with my T1 line. When I tried it before, it took at least 30 seconds. Must have been an isolated problem .

It's scary to see what a talented player can do with the Ottomans. Sap annexed about 13 provinces in less than 5 years.

I like it very much.
A nice Empire it is.

Well, I just can't resist responding to those 'how long did it take'-messages.

The reason it only took you 1.5 seconds, Dark Knight, to view the page a second time was because the pictures were already stored in your browser's cache. E.g. it didn't take 1.5 sec to get them over the net, it took 1.5 sec to get them from your harddisk.

I know this is the case because it is impossible for your T1 line to receive those pictures in 1.5 sec (besides that's the normal way a browser works). The 8 pictures on the site have a total size of around 1.6 MB and giving you the best available download speed at 256 kB/sec (the top-speed of a T1) it would take at least 7-8 seconds to load the page. However, there are VERY few places on the net that can send you information with that speed. The 30 seconds it actually a lot more realistic (around 50 kB/sec) and still very fast. Besides, it also took me around 30 seconds to load the page the first time.

Anyway, my point is that with pictures that large no free web-server are able to send them any faster and if you 'only' have a 56k modem (still a lot better than nothing IMHO) it'll take a lot of time due to the size of the pictures. There is nothing wrong with the web-server Sapura has chosen.

Heh,

Actually, in 30 years, I annexed: Hungary, Austria, Moldavia, Venice ( a long with its Mediterranean islands) and taken out parts of Poland with my ally Crimea, though there's been a complete lack of war in the middle east.

It was amazing for me to see Turks doing that well in Europe in such a time.That's right.It's a great empire.
