Speaking of which, does anybody have any thoughts on the best Populous
worlds?  I remember once there was a world (around the 200s, I think) which
gave you nothing and your foe everything.  Took me days to get the 
strategy edge to win and then over 9 hours to do that.  At the end I had
the entire world covered to a two layer depth and although I had killed
the last enemy, there was still this incredibly invincible enemy knight
which I had to waste dozens of citizens on to kill.  

Anybody remember what world this was?  It was a sand covered world.  Now
when I want a good game, CALEBAN or WEAVEUSPERT usually does the trick
but I wouldn't mind giving that lost world another go.

Is all.
