I have just sent out a copy of the latest version of Automagic, version
2002b. If you're already using Automagic, please check your version number
and change to this if it is more recent. If you're not using Automagic,
please see if you can start to use it. This is a stable version, we don't
expect to make further changes for many months.
Automagic does require that you have Excel, though it works on Windows and
Macintosh computers. It is very helpful for checking that you don't issue
illegal orders, it allows us to use the MAIN automatic inputting system that
eliminates human input errors, and it also has a load of useful features
unconnected to turn writing. I use it and think's it great, and most
players I have found who have used it have found it very useful.
We really want to try and encourage everyone who can use it to try it. The
more turns we can automate, the more time we can spend on customer care and
Research and Development instead of inputting! This will also help us keep
costs down, including future turncosts rises.
If you are unable to use Automagic then please get in touch with us
informing us so that we can see what development work we need to do. If you
do not desire to use Automagic then please take the time to inform us as
well.
There are some helpful web pages dedicated to Automagic on
www.MiddleEarthGames.com including a step by step guide to using AM and a
FAQ. Feel free to ask us for help as well.
Thanks, and I hope you enjoy using Automagic.
Clint
