Then, by all means, get Fortress by Alessandro Damiani. An intelligent bitbased program with attack tables, suffers probably from perhaps too _much_ personality:-) You'll like it a lot, I am positive. I do, all humans do. It plays like a human, pulls tricks like a human, errs like a human. Fortresss is not the strongest of programs, but it does have what you want: character and distinct personality. Djordje
