Ok, I built a trans-oceanic railroad, and then discovered that I can not 
just send units sailing across it,  anyway, is there anyway to utilize 
rails for transportation purposes? Now I have to use two transports to 
bridge the gap,  and it takes too long...everywhere else is a cape so I 
never noticed this problem with moving on rails until I built it.

Taking items is perfectly legal (at least, to the game) in Ultima VII--
not a blemish on your record.  However, moving certain items is "bad" and
may arouse unwanted attention and even cause some of your characters to
leave.  In the same way, <using> something lying around may also be bad.
The way you can usually tell is if one of your characters (or, the
Voice!) says something about it.

But, as far as consequences go, that's all that happens.  No block to
solving the game; no NPCs who will ignore you.

Is there a FAQ list for sound cards somewhere? I'm looking for a capable
but low-priced card, SoundBlaster-compatible. I'm probably going to go with
the Thunderboard, partly since it comes with F15 II, a decent game. I
looked at the Thunderboard for Windows package, but that looks like all you
get are a few utilities to play sounds while in Windows. Heck, I can find
good stuff like that on the net.

I'm not German and I'm not particularly light, but maybe I can help.
The music was written by Haydn, and it became the Austrian anthem under
the title "Gott erhalte Franz der Kaiser", which I think means "God
save Franz the emperor (Haydn was inspired by England's "God Save the King").
I don't know when it was adopted by Germany, but obviously the words
must have been changed at that point.

Hi
I nearly finished Wizardry 7,but.....
Can anybody help me with the tomb of the astral dominae. i have the
locket of the tomb and i found the trapdoor in the tomb of the astral
dominae, but what now. what am i missing? I guess it has something
to do with the spaceship of father phoo. i coulnd't open.
1) so how do you open the spaceship? Is it necessary to solve the second
   test in the hall of the crusaders or can you just break the door?
2) I do not know exactly where to use the fools-map. i found a spot
   looking like a X where on the original map a big raven is painted.
   is this the place described by the fools-map and if yes what am i
   to use. i searched and digged and so on.                    
  
i really enjoyed this game, though sometimes i wished myself into 
another universum with no comp.-games.
but i want to see all of the 4 endings, so please help me.

Alexander,
in the last dungeon at the very bottom there is a room with a mirror in it.
Go over to the mirror and enter it by walking into to it.  Make sure you
have the sandalwood box out of Lord British's room.  You can get this by
playing stones on the harp in his room at his castle.  This is all you
will need to solve the game.

I am aware of the Wave Blaster daughtercard, but I don't think CL will
break into wavetable synthesis in a big way with it.  Dedicated 
hobbyists will want to buy it for their SB-16s, but the average
consumer will not go for it.  For one, the combo would be too expensive,
and, secondly, I doubt the public knows enough about the difference
between FM and wavetable synthesis to go through the hassle of upgrading
a card they just slapped into their machine.  CL's wavetable daughter-
card will not capture a significant portion of the market, in my opinion.
The SB-16 is still an FM-based card with a SCSI port and DAC, and only
a few will have the Wave Blaster upgrade.  So, we're talking about a
subset of a subset of a market.

There is *no* debate that the GUS sounds better than any FM-based card on
the market.  The SB16 will only sound as good if the Wave Blaster takes
off. But that's a big and expensive if.
