I did some investigative reporting today (okay, I went shopping), looking into the imminent arrival of Prophecy Gold. According to Electronic Boutique it should be in tommorow. Babbages says they should have it by next week, and CompUSA was, as usual, clueless.

The man best known as HCl has released a WC3/4/Armada to WCP/SO converter, so as to allow other people to continue his work converting ships to the vision engine. HCl himself will unfortunatly be quite busy for the next several months, but was kind enough to leave us all this. The download includes the newest version of WCPEdit, the WC4 file format and ready-for-conversion models of the Vindicator and Longbow. Grab it here.

But back on Earth, the war-weary people and their leaders turned a deaf ear to reports of Kilrathi belligerence, preferring to look forward to a peaceful and prosperous future.
But it was only the calm before a new storm....
