I think you pretty much nailed it, Coup! One thing I would add is that bombers are great retaliators against those useless, yet annoying ironclad bombardments.:goodjob: edited for stupidity!!

Mop-up troops (i.e. potential leaders), and temporary garrison/cover units...

Great Job, Insurgent. Yes, Ol' Vic was what I had in mind. Look at that group. Talk about pathetic! Anyway, Sorry if it was a bit vague. Kind of hard to concentrate on important matters while at work, ya know? All these people wanting something, all day long. Whew! Who's next?

Close. Sorry if I was unclear. Bob Dylan IS the clue to the answer I am looking for (knowing who Bob Zimmerman is is part one to the question). Admittedly, there may be more than one other famous person with his birthday, but I had a specific one in mind. Aside from me, that is...

Ok, here's an easy one in the "famous birthday" department: What famous person shares the birthday (not birthdate) of Robert Zimmerman? Hint: this is actually a two-parter...

Possibly stupid and or meaningless question: If the people in the "welfare states" are trapped in the system, becoming lazy and indolent, with such a high percentage on the rolls, and a high percentage of GDP supporting it, who is actually EARNING this money in the first place? Is it possible...

Ummm, did I win?? :)

Warning! Smart-aleck answer: Because there wasn't any oil or other resource in jeopardy, so support couldn't be maintained among corporate america or gas-guzzling joe six-pack...:rolleyes: edited for clarity

I'm getting a headache...

My fave is "Shaka of the Northern Tundra". Just comes off really bizarre.

I've heard that, too, but it doesn't SEEM that way in my games. Can we get some verification/clarification on this? :confused:

Any idea what it does??

Well, AFAIK, they ALWAYS reappear somewhere, just may not be in your borders. As for same location, I dunno, maybe there is a formula for "best available spot"??? edit: could be a non-random seed thing...

Love the UU settler idea:lol: How about also: when settler is created, no pop drop? Wait. I've got it!!! You can add YOUR settler UU to another civ's cities, causing distress, adding to culture flip pressure. That's got promise...
