    Top 10 Bomber Aircraft of All Time

    I'd have to agree with the B-52 getting top billing. After all, it's been in service for 50 years and the air force plans on keeping it in service for 40-50 more. The B-1,developed as its replacement has been relegated to specialized roles. The B-52 is hands down the best long range heavy bomber.

    Wierd Graphics Bug

    I recently encountered a weird graphics bug while playing civ4. I happened when I loaded a game I'd saved a few hours earlier. No units or improvements show up but the "marker" (those arrows that you van turn on with the button by the mini-map) still work. When its a units turn it comes up...

    Had Great Britain retained the US...

    The "US" would likely have remained confined to the East Coast (No Lousiana Purchase) WWII likely won't have happened since WWI would have been much bloodier than it was if the US wasn't there to intervene when it did. By 1918 WWI had been fought to a bloody stalemate. It was the infusion of...

    Research Strategies?

    Do You work your way up the tech tree researching every tech or do you only research the most useful techs? Which strategy is better (gets you up the tech tree faster)? I've recently moved up to Noble. I won but it took me until 1923 to get a space victory. I've see from the hall of fame...

    Classical (Greco-Roman?) Pagan Religion?

    Has anyone made a mod that adds a polytheistic religion to BTS? I was thinking that the game needs an old school Classical religion.

    BTW: Any stratiegies/suggestions for speeding research?

    I play as a defensive builder. I generally only go to war once I get industrial units unless someone else starts it or is land grabbing. I play on either large or huge maps with a preference towards continents. I'll build as many cities as I can fit in my territory without more than a few...

    Sons that outshine their fathers

    I wouldn't necessaially say that Philip II accomplishments were less than those of his son's when you look at the state Macedon was in when he came to power versus when he died. When he came to power the Macedonians were largely living in the mountains for prtection from surrounding nations...

    The World is a Powder Keg. Is WWIII inevitable?

    I think we've seen the last of the world wars. Simply put, there are no longer the same motivations as we had in the past. Add to that that any true world power big enough to get into a world war has/would have nuclear weapons and thus MAD would be in effect. With the advent of nuclear...

    The decline and fall of the artificial construction?

    I largely agree with what you said. At the begining of the 21st century we are facing many important issues (global economics, evironment, terrorism, etc.) which are simply too large-scale for a single nation-state to tackle; so we are seeing nation-states banding together to pretect their...

    Which Government is the best?

    I ussually play a relatively peaceful game (I take out a civ or two for more territory or if they piss me off by starting something), so I ussually like democracy since it has a big production bounus. The downside is having to keep the Lux at 20 - 30 %.

    why do people think FDR was bad

    Well as was stated there would have been plenty of oil to go around if it weren't for the war effort.

    Most Forgotten or Over Looked Wars in History

    While interesting, we're drifting OT. I think that in the US the Barbory Coast wars are the least know. The only real referance to it is in the USMC athem ("the shores of Tripoli"). The War of 1812 is also largely forgoten, likely because there were some incidents during the war that the US...

    "Peace on Earth"

    welll, over the last 60 years the major world powers seemed to have worked out their difeences and are managing to get along with each other at least to the point of avoiding open conflict. The Cold War Served to cement relationships between the western democracies. Also, because of their...
