I have been playing Civ since the early 90's, and it never fails to amaze me how the whole one more turn thing works. I absolutely get sucked in, and I'll think I'll just move this here and change this, then end turn, then there's something else to move and more decisions to make, and on and...

Assuming you mean one more turn after winning/losing the game.... I would have to say no. Unless I have something really special in the works, by the time the game is over I have had enough and am ready to start fresh.

Of course you can create a custom game and just turn off the barbarians. Some might feel that is cheating, but you can try it both ways for fun.

Edit. Oops. Wrong info.

I like the Terrace as well. When you have a new city (or newly captured) you don't need to decide between food and culture. You can have both.

The price you pay for all that open land is that you will face well developed and dug in barbarians. Either you will have to ferry an enourmous force over to the new world to conquer them and illuminate every dark square, or you will be having them come out of the woodwork for centuries. It's...

Yes... you beat me to it, I just came to this thread to mention the Real Men of Genius commercials. Especially "Pro Sports Heckler Guy," that is the best I think.

I've really been enjoying those Miller Lite man law commercials, they even have a great website: http://www.manlaws.com/

:D :goodjob: I've only seen that one on the internet, but it's really funny.... at the same time, so very disturbing and scary.

Just thought of another one, not the greatest, but I thought pretty darn funny. Andy Roddick did a bunch commercials a couple years ago, I think they were for American Express. They were all pretty good, but there was one where he was trying to carry all these huge prizes on the airplane, and...

The Geico commercials are definitely genius. I just thought of the one with the people living in the tiny house... I remember the first time I saw it I yelled at the tv "you cannot be serious!!"... thinking, what reality trash will they come up with next, and then you are hit with the Geico...

I see that there have been 5 threads started about bad commercials. There certainly are alot of really annoying commercials. But are there any commercials that no matter how many times you see it, it still makes you laugh? For me, I can think of two off hand... the Volkswagon ads about...

It's all about perception, not historical reality.

I've always felt that if you think classical music is only background music, you aren't listening to the right stuff, or giving it it's deserved attention. Classical music can be the most powerful and emotional of all types of music. But then, I am biased because I am a classical pianist...

Since bureaucracy gives you 50% commerce and prodiction in the capital, I will often try to get other production enhancers like the ironworks there. By the time of the space race the Apollo Program and all of the really big parts will be pumped out there.
