   I have to disagree with this.  I had no trouble winning the game with no
outside information.  My biggest problem with the game was that it is too easy,
as are all of the Ultimas.  Once you become powerful enough nothing can stop
you.  And in all of the games there are things you can do over and over just
to accumulate gold, points, or whatever...  I understand that this is hard to
prevent, but it makes all of the Ultimas I have played too easy to win.
