You lost me at the last little bit... but otherwise most of this I have to go into an exam and do in about half an hour. :? I still don't know what the hell LFG stands for; I think it's worth explaining jargon when you're writing a guide before you use it. ;)

Why don't you...

...translate the ZBB into Verdurian (as a special option in preferences?). That could be quite fun. I also wonder if someone's already asked this...

It could certainly make it more related to Verduria and zompist.com and stuff...

Maknas, can you convert that file to a pdf, because:

I knew it had a name, but I didn't know what it was.

Those curves don't look exactly right; there's a reasonable flat start phase, a very steep curve upwards, and then a similar levelling-off phase at the end.
