I generated my tengwar example using [http://tengwar.art.pl/tengwar/ott/start.php this site], which, knowing the past record of computer translation I guess I wasn't surprised that corrections would be needed. (Of course, by checking here first, I realized that I would likely be corrected if necessary.) I've saved your example for future potential use.

			:::: I was never impressed with the GalCiv franchise. The combat is not very fun, the races are uninspired, I have to micromanage my planets by telling them what buildings to build where and the research didn't ever seem to make me excited. The 2D universe and grid-based map really turned me off as well. I understand that a lot of people are having a lot of fun with it. And more power to them. Just not for me. --[[User:Day\|Day]] <sup>([[User talk:Day\|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard\|Admin]] - [http://hiver.swordofthestars.com/ SotS])</sup> 14:46, 21 August 2006 (CDT)
