I've been there since Civ I, although I didn't start until '97.

I voted scientific for the free techs and the cheap libraries for an early border stretch. My second choice used to be industrious, but in C3C, I've changed to seafaring. Those faster moving galleys that quite often survive in the ocean are really useful for making early contacts (and some...

Domination by mistake.. I was Germany, heading for Spaceship and had built 7/10 parts already. I was beating up a minor civ (don't recall which one), and suddenly the game was over...

Temujin give me the creeps, but Ragnar isn't exactly the most handsome guy around either.

I've had PTW for about a year and now I'm eagerly awaiting Conquests.

Yes, I'm a nature lover too. I try to get out at least once every weekend, often with a pair of binoculars and a spotting scope. (If you wonder why, just look at avatar!) Btw, civrules, I found the link to the photo site very interesting. I looked into the european pictures, and suddenly...

Man, that's relieving! I'm still a youngster around here, after all :lol:

Here's another 32+ male. In fact, 32++ would be more accurate!

I used to shave daily, but yesterday my electric razor told me, it's services isn't available any longer, so now I'm growing a beard...

I've used them for some very early scouting and to rush a granary in my capital. Once I used them to rush a defender in a newly founded city that was threatened by barbs.

I think they're really nice. Being on a (relatively) fast connection, I have no problem downloading. Still, I consider them so good they're worth downloading even if you're on 56k modem.

The Berserk is my absolute favourite. Its capability of making amphibious assaults can be quite, well, amusing... :)
