    is there too much to build in this game?

    Slider position has no effect on the usefulness of the bank if you're trying to maximize science production. Although if you have a shrine and other flat bonuses to gold that you're running a surplus the bank won't help out your science production much since your slider is already at 100%...

    Berkeley College Republicans hold intentionally racist Bake sale

    I didn't say anything about Latin Americans. All I said was that comparing Black Americans who have grown up in America to rich black immigrants from Africa is not a simple comparison.

    Berkeley College Republicans hold intentionally racist Bake sale

    Immigration is a huge selection bias. Immigrants are richer, healthier and more successful compared to similar groups.

    What to do with the USPS?

    This small article is very informative. http://www.slate.com/id/1008012/ On the question of "does the usps recieve subsidies from the government?". Basically the USPS hasn't gotten direct subsidies from the government since 1983. By its charter, the usps has to run a balanced budget over...

    Annoying CS's

    I do the same thing. I cut city states to half or fewer the default level. I can't stand the constant spam when it doesn't matter. Please destroy some barbarians!!! Um, I don't care about barbarians after the first 100 turns, I have actual civilizations to fight against! City states are...

    AoD2 strategy help and other questions

    You're not making sense. You say you focus on building the buildings in just one city like I do but you still have problems with not producing buildings fast enough? Maybe you need to get carpenters faster or rush buy lumber mills? There's almost nothing else I can think of to speed it up...

    AoD2 strategy help and other questions

    My strategy in AOD2 and the regular game, is to construct buildings only in 1 city. The only buildings I'll build in all cities are the first warehouse expansion(+50) and the town hall( can't remember name) upgrade later in the game to produce a few bells in each city. I'll also construct a...

    Why Archipeligo maps stink (in my opinion)

    Why are regular sea tiles still 2 F 1 G for the ENTIRE game? There needs to be an upgrade around the time of economics to 2F 2G otherwise I avoid water like the plague. Its just a drain on happiness, culture, settlers, time otherwise.

    Do Politicians Lie?

    Those emails asking for money are about fundraising and not about truth. This subject fascinates me. My opinion is: ofcourse they lie to us! The real interesting question is why voters believe anything they say, or likes any politician? Every primary season in America politicians promise...

    What is the best system to replace the Fed?

    Congress could rewrite the laws and take more control over the FED if it wanted too. That would probably lead to higher inflation or a more volatile monetary policy. There's a paper somebody wrote who I can't remember and don't care to find that found a positive relationship between central...

    Exclusive: Behind The Scenes Of Sid Meier's Civilization V

    Why didn't they use strategic view to prototype the game? It seems like strategic view would fit perfectly as a rough graphics view to test out gameplay. I was really excited when strategic view was announced, especially in the light of Soren's making of civ4 video. All of the gameplay...
