If I remember correctly what I read i...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />If I remember correctly what I read in THE GAME OF EMPIRE, Anderson thought humans could prosper and live on planets with gravities up to 30 percent more than a standard Terran g. So 40 percent would be too much for most humans, except for short periods.<br /><br />And I wonder how far a race can go if it was unable to use fire? Hmmm, I should soon reread "Esau."<br /><br />And it wasn't just trade goods the Suleimanites wanted. I recall how one of the local king's advisers, dismayed by the Baburites unfriendly intrusion. exclaimed that he had hoped his race would learn from the humans and better themselves. That would not have been the case if the Baburites succeeded in forcing Solar Spice & Liquors to abandon the trading base on Suleiman.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
