Commonly Used Acronyms in the Civ Community
As you know, we have a Civ Acronyms page that lists some of the commonly used acronyms in the Civ community. The page hasn't been updated in a while and we want to update it soon with some Civ4 words.
Feel free to suggest acronyms to add to the list. To start: GP - Great People GP Farm - Specialized city intended to generate Great People as quickly as possible.

Not Civ-specific but these two closely related WWII-era acronyms certainly describe enough game situations I get into:
FUBAR = ["Fouled"] Up Beyond All Recognition SNAFU = Situation Normal, All ["Fouled"] Up ... "fouled" being the word one would use in semi-polite company. |

BW = Bronze working seems a popular one
AH = Animal husbandry I think I've seen IW used for Iron Working but this may be ambiguous as it could also stand for Iron Works (the wonder), as suggested by someone above. |

Cavs-Cavalry Lbow-can also be used for Longbow AW-Always War OCC-One City Challenge Note: some may already be included.

For application specifically to this game, may I suggest :-
CPU - combat probabilities unreliable. HD - horrible disaster. AGP - AI got Pyramids. PCI - poor commerce interaction RAM - reload, again, mate! LAPTOP - lost again, probably through outdone production. and also :- ANNUL - another nice new unit lost. ***** - Blast Isabella, Tokugawa, Catherine (and) Hatshepsut! Can't see these actually making the approved list, but highly applicable to what repeatedly happens to me. |
