My last game was with Hungary and it was a foregone conclusion by the Renaissance. I kept playing for a bit, funniest thing was levying musketmen and the upgrade discount meant all the infantry I suddenly received were weaker than the musketmen because I hadn't unlocked the oil tech yet... I...

Also remember it applies to inland sea tiles as well- if you get a few of them and give them the extra gold (3 food/ 3 gold) then it'll really help there as well. Nearly as good as a cottage'd flood plain, and obviously if you're financial too... yum!

Well I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. If I recall correctly one of the main reasons the US took its action was that France had promised to veto any proposal for military action against Iraq- if you don't think that's a genuine attempt to block the UNSC from making war on Iraq...

Oh, so France should have simply double checked the information... guess Chirac should've just called up his buddy Saddam and double checked it eh? I think you oversimplify the situation way too much (Like I just did, only not as obviously stupid ;) ). The US were the ones presenting the WMD...

Forgive me if I'm mistaken Symphony D, but didn't France oppose the war and not support it? Don't you think that would be because they did not accept the intelligence erroneously and dishonestly presented by Colin Powell (among others)? Also just to be nice for MobBoss, here's a link showing...

All this talk of lies is a simple red herring (Not helped by sensationalistic journalism). Did Bush lie? He may have, he may not have. If you're willing to accept he really is that dumb and that the intelligence services were somehow trying to lead Bush into war with Iraq, then you may well...

Well as that was the only part of your post that MobBoss actually condemned, then that means he was okay with the rest of it (As with the UN and the war). Glad to see he wouldn't be dumb enough to claim that all those factors he cited were valid and presented honestly (Although some are very...

I must say, I do enjoy this thread, although it's the first page that really amuses me. I particularly like DaveShack condemning this report for trying to say that Bush lied- to make others believe something that he doesn't think is true. Yet the article makes no such claim, instead it merely...

No, seriously MjM, it might not exactly resemble a callus on a hand (Since the surface of the head is of a different type of skin), but it's still the same effect. Assuming you're circumsized, just think: when the head of your penis rubs against the fabric of your clothes during normal...

Actually multiple times this has happened, where the easily-missed text appears saying that the Barbs seek to destroy Civilization... and then they stll target me and only me. There's got to be a bug in there somewhere...

Sounds pretty broken to me. I've had this happen in a few of the last games I've played, they just turn up, and I've noticed them repeatedly ignore the AI to go for my civ. I mean literally walking next to AI units and then heading north to my cities that are 6 tiles away when AI cities are 2...

I like that the two met in Church.... shocking, I know.

I was amazed to find the other day that you can break a cease fire at any time you like... of course, if the AI does that to you, no penalty :)

And how on earth do you manage to get a dozen archers (plus at least one worker) built up before the AI has already loaded his cities with axemen? Do you not build cities (Guess not if you're conquering them)?

Well, when it happens - and it's never happened to me - take a screenshot and post it in the bug forum.
