    6otM107 Opening Actions Report

    I will not be submitting my final results this month as I restarted..... I forgot how aggressive the AI is on Diety, so this was a learning experience for me (coming back up to speed on Civ and Diety; first Diety game on Civ 6). Also, I do not like Egypt as a neighbor. I was surprised by the...

    6otM106 AAR

    SV year:1866 score 1432 First GOTM in about 15 years plus. I am still not up to speed on the changes in Civ and my gameplay shows, but this was fun. I finished way too late turn 304, and I should have conquered more of the other empires instead of just building away on my core empire. That...

    Which Civ would you like in Colonization?

    I voted for other mainly because I don''t think there sould be another civ. The four listed are just fine, this game is not Civilization. Remember the end goal is Independence from the mother Country. Portugal was never really in a position to achieve this with their colonies. The politics...

    Who have never played Colonization?

    OK I am feeling old now, but this re-release has gotten me excited again for this game. I remeber playing Civ 1 when it first came out and Colonization was a great extension of the "just one more turn" from Sid. Just to let you know how much fun it is I still play it on an old DOS based...

    OK the car was cool. As for the whale I can't believe they were that stupid to try that. :lol:

    why do people think FDR was bad

    I agree the only choice was to continue with the war, except this time it would be against Russia or to accept some concessions and end the war. The American people would not have let him continue the war. We had had four years of it and wanted it over. Evryone wanted it over by them.

    why do people think FDR was bad

    While I don't agree the FDR was the best President the US has ever had I also don't agree with the other extreme that is being presented here. I don't think he was a bad president. He is one of the best the US has ever had and his policies are still alive and well today. I may not like them...

    Greatest President in US History?

    Reagan is not listed because he is too recent. I purposely left out all presidents within the past 50 years. There is too much political bias on those choices and it isn't really worth comparing them yet, (it would be a Reagan vs. Clinton discussion :)) We can start another poll in 2036 to see...

    Greatest President in US History?

    He is also the only president to hold a PhD and the passage of the League of Nations bill probably would have been accepted by the senate if he didn't have a stroke. Despite the problems with the UN he is the man with the idea that started the organization and it is arguable that if the US...

    Greatest President in US History?

    Polk was not listed becasue he was a one term president. I only listed the presidents who were in office for about two terms either elected or inherited. The use of the two terms as in initial qualifier for a great president was a starting point. There might be reasons to argue for a one term...

    Greatest President in US History?

    I have never been a fan of Washington being listed as one of the great president's. He did a lot of great things, but I have always wondered if someone else were the first president would we have conferred greatness upon them too. I feel that he is a great president because of circumstances...

    Greatest President in US History?

    He is not eligible as he is a recent president (less than 50 years). That was one of the problems I had with the other discussion too much emotions and not enough objectivity.

    Greatest President in US History?

    I could agree to a one term president if the argument were made correctly. I also agree on the fact about Grant not being one of the greatest. The above list is merely a list of Presidents who served two terms or most of two terms. In my opinion Grant does rank well at the bottom for the...

    Greatest President in US History?

    I have seen the poll up before and it usually asks people to list the top five best Presidents of the United States. What I am curious about is who was the best president and why. In order to examine this a bit further I am looking for real details not the standard BS I see posted about...

    Why was former president Reagan so popular?

    He was disliked for alot of the same reasons that the current Bush is disliked. He lead by his moral vision, and didn't bother to conduct poles. He was guided by doing what he thought was right, and to hell with those that were against him. He tended to say what was on his mind and paint the...

    Need help with planning a trip to France

    Thanks for both ideas. I guess what I am looking for are some thoughts from people who live there or have travelled there. I really enjoy immersing myself into the culture and finding the offbeaten track.

    Need help with planning a trip to France

    My wife and I are planning on traveling to France for a week this Spring (early May). We will be staying about 30 minutes outside of Paris (Bailly-Romainvilliers ), and are looking for some ideas for sightseeing in the area. Any help would be appreciated. We are familiar with the obvious...

    Pharmacutical Budgets

    Not an easy question to answer. 1. They do spend a lot on advertising and marketing. 2. They also spend a lot on R&D although sales/marketing expenses are typically higher than R&D 3. The other large expense is support for the regulation requirments. Every step in the process is highly...

    Virgin empire expands again

    A couple of comments. Bill Gates may not be involved but Microsoft Co-Founder Paul Allen is. He is backing Burt Ratan the guy who designed and built space ship one. Also Branson will not have a monopoly on this. There are about 20 odd companies on the heels of Burt Ratan in building their...
