I'd be very surprised if they haven't. Obama gets a lot of death threats from those who swear he isn't Christian, insist he is Kenyan, etc. Senator Barney Frank, who is Jewish and gay, has had death threats that have made it into the media. I've not only had death threats, as a bisexual...

The OP incorrectly assumes that homosexuality has just suddenly, recently become 'significant.' Homosexuality has been a part of normal animal activity (humans being members of the animal kingdom) far longer than human beings have been known to contrive monotheistic religions. I don't think it...

Just thought some might like to know, if you don't have the games and, like me, your friends are poking you like crazy with Mass Effect 3 about to come out, here's a good chance to picking up the first two on the cheap (they're usually $20 apiece whether on Amazon or Steam ... $5 apiece is a...

You have to be able to squeeze in between errors to get on to be able to post about it. :( I don't get it ... Sunday morning, it shouldn't have that much traffic, there must be a malfunction (bad sector on a hard drive maybe or bit on a RAM chip?) or a virus or something gobbling the server's...

My condolences as well. I actually only had a single natural grandparent still alive when I was born, my maternal grandmother. The generations in my family have been 30-40 years apart, unlike most families which seem to be 18 - mid-twenties. I was my parents' first child, and my mother was 36...

Is that so, or did he mind control you to say that? ;)

Did Africans abducted and chained into slavery in the American colonies, up through the end of the slave trade, get the society they deserved? Hell no, and I doubt you'll find any person more politically liberal than myself.

Dare I say it? Premature patulation. :P

Genghis Khan's Mongol hordes are savagely plundering the server resources! :( I am getting frequent "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later." and, even when it does load, quite a bit of lag. :( I know, I know, reading the above reports, its not new news, but still ... go...

Thanks. I still don't have the hang of posting YouTube vids. :(

Live action, NOT CGI, taken from the International Space Station! http://youtu.be/ev9oPUNaqXE Aurora Borealis, lightning, light from cities ... it reminded me a bit of the Civ IV intro, but even more awesome because its not CGI!

It has been reported that CSes will have unique luxury goods in this expansion. "New mercantile city-states have access to luxury resources you can't find elsewhere." -- caption on image...

Will DLC civilizations for "vanilla" Civ V be included in the expansion, or will it simply be upgraded to be compatible with Gods & Kings (such that you would still have to buy it separately, but would be updated to work with religion and other new code systems, etc.)?

One of Askia's traits is embarked units can defend themselves, which seems to be redundant now since everyone's embarked units will defend themselves, so that will probably get erased (or maybe their other trait, triple gold from barb camps and pillaging, will get buffed ... quadruple or...

In regards to embarked units, I wonder if Askia of the Songhai will get a bonus or that trait replaced with something else? (Askia has gold from camps + embarked units defending themselves as his traits; I play him all the time -- though admittedly more for the former, since the AI never...
