	More Spell information has been added to the Life Spell page.  This time I concentrated on the Defensive Spellbook.  Offensive and General spellbook spells remain to be complete.

	I have added all of the Terraform spells to Life's spell page.  Including one that isn't even in the mod!  Not making sense?  It is a would-be spell if I were able to edit the in-game images.  LBM is the format LOMSE uses for images and almost any graphics editor can view.  The problem is that the original program "Deluxe Paint" apparently saves the LBM format differently, which is compatible with LOMSE.  So if I were able to actually edit the LBM images, it could be added to the game.

Hope you enjoy viewing the new additions to the Life Spell page.

	The Life and Death spell pages now have two spells available for your viewing pleasure.  The spell pages will not be as highly graphical as the unit information pages.  There will be organized text listings of what each spell does.

	The colors for all of the Death pages have been changed from the gray colors to the more dark purplish colors.  This better reflects their in-game colors.  Also, I'd like to mention I am starting to work on some of the spell pages.  I am currently working on a format.  If you really want to, you can take a look at the progress.  The spells page is listed under GS5 Page in the site guide (aka left frame).

	Major updates to the site have been made.  You will now see in the left frame the turn dial from the game.  The turn dial will light up any gem you select and each gem is a link to their respective faith pages.  I am working on a similar project with the faith selection in the spells page.  I plan on making that one 2 to 3 times larger.

Also, this may not be noticable, but each faith page now has a cleaner javascript.  Rather than having HTML/Javascript code in the HEAD tag, there is a single line of code which will direct java codes to a popup java script.

10:09 AM 3/14/2006
	The Unit information pages have been updated.  Melee and Missile Resistances are now displayed along side with the other permanent stats (such as Combat Speed).

12:15 AM 3/14/2006
	A few tweaks made to the Unit info pages, due to changes with the GS5B mod.  If you find any content on the GS5B info pages to be wrong, please contact me through my website or post a message on my forum.  Every bit helps.

	Check out the latest update of the GS5B mod.  With it you can now train Murauding units and summon new creatures from your Wizard Towers.  Also, the unit info panels are complete with all new icons and all values are viewable.

11:54 PM 3/3/2006
	A lot of new content is being added to the unit info panels, which are apart of the GS5B mod.  There are also many fixes involved too.  If you are a GS5B user, I would recommend downloading the latest version.  However, I would also advise you to not discard your previous GS5B.  For every new version, keep the update prior to it just in case.

	Updated the Faith of the Month.  I am now cycling in the Thief Lord portraits.  Also, I am steadily working on minor tweaks and improvements.  Some of which are happening to the unit info panel.  There is another modder out there who has taken my edit of the unit info panels and took it a step further and I am eager to see what he has done.  I have figured out how to display Rate of Fire for ranged units only and Rate of Attack for melee units only.  Also, I am going to be making a tweak which will allow players to view stats below Zero to as low as -99.
