What I didn't like is that those huge levels (15, 16) make the game really slow on my system (Celeron 566@850, 192 RAM, Voodoo3 3000)... This way, Pontifex is about as CPU/hardware-intensive as some modern FPS games... I understand this most probably can't be helped, but the huge jump from the BB system requirements to those of Pfx is really ...umm... HUGE? ;)

ver cool tho.
it isn't the graphics, its that every member you put in has some 20 peices, and the cpu has to process the stress on each one of those pieces like 100 times a sec . . . . im suprised mine hasn't melted yet.
BEUTIFUL, tho . .
i have exams next week, so i don't have much play time . . i on lvl 6. def. better than origanal . . i especially like #1 . . the valley tyupe deal . . .
mmm, tasty.

What's weird is that my bridge on level 13 EXACTLY fits the budget - �... I can't come up with another (cheaper?) one... Could it be that level was intended to be solved exactly the way I did it? ;)

Level 11 is the coolest IMO (at least my solution is pretty spectacular, but I think any solution to that level is).

I had just a little more money i could do it but i've been fooling with this level for 2 days now (total of 4-5 hours) and i just cant come up with a design that fits in teh budget that works.

It's simple... I'm going to draw a crappy ASCII diagram.

I got it at 47848$. It gets well stressed, but it survives with 0 broken links. I can make it a lot more solid at 49768$.
If anyone wants the bridge file, i can email it to you, send me a msg at alcorrr@icqmail.com.
I don't have any hosting right now, but i ordered internet through cable and i think that comes with some web space, so i'll put all my solutions up in a week or two.
