Europa Universalis: Though I haven't been able to try out 4 yet. I started with and loved 2 and 3 was even better. Colonization: This is actually the game that led me to buying Civ2. I had run across it in a bargain bin at the store I worked. The economic system was great and I still haven't...

"but if the world were Civ and we were leaders then that would mean that we were also immortal (physically)." "There can be only one!" -- The Highlander Series (both movies and TV show.) Macchiaviellian all the way with the goal of decapitating my Immortal Brethren.

They venture further out at the higher difficulty levels. They will even (very rarely) keep a city they take.

The idea I most found interesting/horrifying was that if it was determined that you were going to be a janitor you were only born with enough intelligence to do that job. I know a lot of people in jobs that they have more intelligence for and they use their spare time for hobbies (Civ for...

I choose to believe it was because she was "into" Sodom (if you know what I mean, nudge, nudge, wink, wink).

Gotta say it depends on how YOU feel about it. If you feel that you earned the accomplisment then pat yourself on the back. If you don't then learn from the mistake and move on to the next episode. I used reload when I first got the game because the lag time on my computer caused my orders to be...

It wasn't a guy it was a woman. Lot's wife. She wasn't turned into salt because she looked at God but because she looked back at Sodom. Apparently looking at that had harsher penalties back then.

Why you gotta be hatin' on the C-Bro? Ri-Ri forgave him why can't you?

Gotta say Bruce Willis Armageddon-style: saving the world while talking to my daughter. Though I would tell her to stay away from Affleck. And the Great thing? She'd have to stay away from him afterwards. Who's got the balls (or ovaries) to say "I'm going to go against my father(WHO SAVED...

Well, the name "rastafari" comes directly from Haille Selassie - I believe "Ras Tafari" was his given name. I believe you're right. I meant to say that although they venerate him, he personally had nothing to do with establishing the religion.

Does anyone know whether the inclusion of Hallie Selassie was either controversial among Rastafarians or cleared with their religious leaders? As far as I know Selassie had nothing to do personally with the beginnings of Rastafarianism. They adopted him into their beliefs independent of him...

I beeline for Writing followed by researching the techs necessary for improving my city. Then go straight for Optics. IMO your build of 2 triremes for exploration is about right. The land units are best at attacking barbs, picking up goody huts and exploring any landmasses that are fairly good...

No I got that under control. I need to speed up workers.

I like playing in Marathon because I hate how at regular speed your unit is obsolete like 10 turns after it first becomes available. (a slight exaggeration I know). Also it forces a civ to either build OR war. When in history many were able to do both. I found a MOD that made build times and...

There's other things the AI is poor at due to this (national wonders), Being poor at building National Wonders is a direct effect from their ICS (Insane City Sprawl)
