I just dropped by to see if my opponent had made a move, and when I clicked
the newest implementation of Ultima (that's Baroque to the rest of the
world), I was greeted with some kind of 'abstract' representations of
the chess pieces.
No matter what I clicked, I couldn't get the original 'staunton' style
of chess pieces back.
I tried selecting the 'chess motif' that was supposed to be available,
but then after I clicked 'view' I got stuck at move 0. But the fact is,
we are around 6 moves into the game. It appears that the most recent
innovation (or innovator) in the Game Courier must like the 'abstract'
representations of the pieces. But I don't. I prefer instead the
Staunton design, as that is what is most historically accurate.
Help!
