Which brewing method is superior? Does using a metal filter with auto drip machine (as opposed to paper filter) noticeably enhance flavor of the coffee? I personally use a french press, but the coffee gets cold by the time it is ready. The press isn't insulated and must be left in place...

The same can be said about workers. Simply drop a boatload of spare workers over the newly captured cities and not only do you get to improve the land at a rush, but you get to do it for free. Of course, actually shipping the workers sounds like tedious work and no fun. My issue with...

Indeed. In my OP I suggested that if such system is to be implemented, the player should be able to prioritize either the tile improvement or city production. Ideally this should be done at a city level, but I guess that would be more micromanagement than we shall like. Perhaps this...

In CTP it works like this: you tax your city production, so that let say 5% of hammers goes not to the city building queue but into a public work pool. You then place tile improvement on the map, which depending on the improvement will cost various amount, and takes a few turns to complete...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_to_Power A rip-off of Civ, it contained some radical changes, one of which is the removal of the worker unit.

This is awesome.

Which system is better? some variation of CTP's public work tax or workers? What changes and additions would you make to the game's worker system? I personally prefer the public work type system. The worker is kind of unrealistic. How is it possible that you can build railroad for free...

BTS all the way. Colonization is crap.

It seems that responding with an useless post like this one would further drain the little mental resource you have. May god have mercy on your soul and keep your month shut when it is supposed to be shut.

Do onagers run out of ammo? Why after attacking the wall for a while it stopped firing and when I mouse over the wall, it says "this unit cannot attack wall/tower"?

If there anyway to make the camera angel in Rome:TW more like a RTS game? I don't like how my view is permanently stuck behind the line of troops, makes commanding a big army difficult.

Being liberal doesn't make one a good leader or even a good person. Mao Ze Dong was pretty liberal, so was Stalin.

It was indeed Time Warner that I referred to in my OP, and sadly it is the only option.

The so called "triple play" is a good deal if you need all three. The home phone service is going the way of the dinosaurs, at least as far as I am concerned. I haven't used a land line in at least 10 years.

I explored cable TV options for my new home in Westchester, and was shocked by how expensive they are. Some $50 for a starter package; $80/month for nice "value" package with sports channels. :eek: They also have some funny "3-year price lock" deal, where one would pay let say $80/month for...
