The Civilopedia says that a settlement's preferred good can be found on the settlement's info panel after you speak w/ the chief. However, no matter where I scroll or place my cursor, I've not been able to locate it. Any ideas how to find it? Thanks.

Well I'm glad no one would ever ask to have my son's version recorded! :p

My 10 y.o. son with autism likes to sing it too. When I play the game he also comes up and says time to play "The Grey Elephant". I presume he's talking about the ivory resource animation. :cool:

I wouldn't say for no obvious reason, but past history with other games suggest that they are capable of ignoring the desires of "hard core" fans and changing games in order to attract a less involved fanbase. You could go to SimTropolis.com, SimCity4Devotion, simcities.net, or PegProd or...

I don't know what EA Games's actions will mean for any of the Firaxis or Sid Meier works. But I am highly displeased what they did to the Sim City franchise, farming it out to a mediocre software company that had little concept of what the game was about or how to implement its play. I'm not...

I enjoy the very beginning of the game the best. I think of it as the "discovery" phase when I'm looking for resources and other civ's and everything has fresh feel to it. The music is also the coolest then, and war, if I decide to go there, can be the most fun then. The beginning is what...

There have been many responses in many threads that have people state they love SMAC and encourage others to play it. I decided to join the bandwagon by downloading it from a recent PC Gamer disk. I found the mechanics of the game to be great, but the graphics rather disappointing, albeit I...

423. You recognize someone at church (or wherever, it happened to be church for me), dressed in a sharply tailored taupe suit and blue shirt as resembling the Corporation avatar. ... and you almost tell them about it! :p

^I would think that the P*** factor would be another drawback to playing the game fully loaded.:mischief:

Sorry to admit it but I replay turns until I get what I want! :p

Never drank and civved. Now playing all night before discovering I have an hour before I have to wake up and go to work on the otherhand...

I think it would an interesting Settler or Chieftain precondition, with progressively more intense events happening with more difficult settings.

I'd have to show you on map, but geographically Baltimore is 4 hours from everywhere! (at least on my Civ map...) :p

Yes, I've lurked in the fandom for a long time but only became active about six weeks. Your PolyCast was a nice find. I'd say it was the excessive giggling. Some of it had an anxious quality to it. But that was certainly understandable. Your voices were clear and distinct. I'd...

405. You keep hitting the snooze bar on your alarm clock, groggily thinking to yourself, "Just...One...More...Turn..."!
