Hello

Yesterday I came across the 1984 performance of Locomotive Breath at Capitol Theatre, on YouTube. I think this was on the Under Wraps tour, since the song had been "embellished" with a lot of synth.

When the song gets going into the main refrain, Vitesse plays a keyboard "riff" that sound a lot, a mean a lot, like Relax, from Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Do you think it likely that this was done knowingly? Or pure coincidence?

I was playing a game yesterday and on the turn when the victory condition multiplier changed to 1.5x, it put me into an Economic Victory condition but also one of the AIs into a Culture Victory condition. The AI ended up winning by one turn, which does not seem fair. What is supposed to happen in this scenario?

In the original version of Bursting Out, there are a few naughty words that are beeped out. Today I discovered the Steven Wilson remix had the beeps removed - however, one still remains - as he introduces Too old to Rock n Roll, Too Young to Die, Ian says something along the lines of "This song isn't about me, it's about some other XXXX".

​

What do you think "XXXX" is? Is there a version out there where it is not beeped out?

Hello

What are the rules which govern how far you can relocate a Squadron Commander? I'm trying to move one across the map, but it seems like there might be a maximum distance (I don't mean per turn, I mean in total).

Hi

I've just played (and lost) my second game since Test of Time came out - I'm still learning the new ways in which victory is worked out, and right now feel a bit lost.

I was hoping to get a science victory, but it seems that I took my eye off what the AI was doing as seemingly out of nowhere they snuck up on me and got an economic victory. I loaded an old save, in the hope that if I made a large dent in that civ (Harriet Tubman) I could stop their victory, but nothing seemed to work despite me capturing several of their cities including their capital. It seems as though once the victory margin dropped down to 1.25x they were already so far ahead that nothing could be done.

Have I missed something? Was there anything that I could do to stop their victory? Or was the damage already done?

Thanks.

Hi

I was at the London Palladium gig last night, which I thoroughly enjoyed - during one of the songs where they showed past footage on the big screen, there was some footage of Ian Anderson crashing cymbals together in quite a dramatic way - does anyone know what song that was, and which old concert the footage was taken from?

Thanks in advance!
