	An update to the GS5 has been made.  However, this is not what I want to address in this new bulletin.  Starting in December, the GS5 will be available for download only in a RAR Archive.  Current, I use the ZIP format.  RAR Archives provide a better compression and this will lower bandwidth used on my website as well.  I am just trying to be as efficient as possible with what I have.

Also I have made updates to other parts of the website, which includes the Links Page.  I have listed torrents available for download for those who wish to reacquire LOMSE.  As I may have stated elsewhere, once you complete your torrent seed it so that others may be able to acquire it without taking up a great deal of my bandwidth.  So if you use the torrents, share the load please.

	I have been working on Spell Information Pages.  I have all of the Spell Book spells on display for all of the faith pages.  I will work on the Artifact Spells and Abilities, but these are not an urgent priority.  So I will update the Spell Information Pages with the Artifact-only Spells at my leisure.

Also for those who are interested, I have added a Biography Page in the past week.  The character Ellelone has a biography available for your viewing pleasure.  Ellelone is an Elven Warrior/Monk, who is faithful to the ways of Life.

	I have completed more Spell Information Pages.  Water and Chaos are complete.  Order and Fire need some more work done.  Fire has the least information of all of the pages.  I've been making good progress.  Much better than I was before, anyway.

	I have completed filling out the GS5 Spell Information Page for Chaos.  As you can see by the time I'm burning some "midnight oil."  But now I'm going to bed now.

	Another exciting update to the GS5 mod has been made.  Female Leaders now display the title of "Lady" rather than the masculine title of "Lord".

Also, all spell graphics have been relocated on the website.  Also some updates have been made to existing spell descriptions.  Raise Skeleton was enhanced with the ability to grant experience to the raised skeletons based on the Caster's Current Experience value.  More spell information can be found on their respective faith pages.

I plan to continue updating the site as much as I can in the final months of this year.  I hope you all appreciate the hard work I put into things around here.  On a side note the forum has been quite inactive.  Where is everyone?

	I have just completed the GS5 Spell Information for the Earth Faith.  Also I am working on re-organizing graphics to all be located in one folder, much the way I had done with the Unit Information Pages.  I also did some minor updating to Spell Information Pages for other faiths.

I hope to continue and complete all of the Spell Information Pages by the end of the month, but there is no guarantee.

	I have decided that in the not so distant future, I will be adding the Unit Information Data of the original (unedited) LOMSE.  This will come after the Spells and Artifacts for the GS5 have been completed.  And I know that I have not updated them in a good long time, but I do intend to finish the spells and artifacts before the end of the year.

Also, I am willing to play anyone in a multiplayer game over Kali.net.  Just contact me through the website if you are interested.  I would request that we use the GS5 mod, because it is relatively more balanced as far as all eight faiths are concerned, bugs are fixed and loop holes closed.

I guess I should mention that someone with Wikipedia decided to add my website as a "Mod Website."  I don't know who did it, and I'm not sure whether to feel honored or angry.  I submitted a word, "Agleed," but it was "speedy" deleted because they didn't recognize it.  But the urban dictionary website gladly posted my word.

That's about it.  Go Cards!

	All of the Unit Information Pages are now complete with unit models.  Previously the unit portraits were displayed.  In the future, I plan to add Great Temple creatures and Marauder units into the unit information pages.
