Well, it wasn't being sold. And how it's not being copied onto CDs so it's not mass produced. It was simply available as a free download. I suppose it is still copyright infringement. I wasn't aware of what "abandonware" meant. I thought it meant that the owners of the copyright abandoned...

Umm... I know it's a bit late but I just now noticed this. Why was the link removed? Anyway, if anyone wants Civ I it is abandon/freeware and a little googling should enable you to find the site I previously linked to.

You should also point out that there is a sampling bias here. We're only seeing the results of people that are registered on this site and are taking the time to answer this poll. And those that have purchased/had access to the game shortly after its release. So, really, this kind of...

If it's that important to you then do it yourself. No one is stopping you.

It will probably be less practical to use workers in that manner anyway. Early in the game you won't have that many anyway. And later in the game they'll probably have more useful things to do. Don't really see much point to it considering how many you'd need. I'm sure that's what they intended.

It was just a bad joke. I linked to the video of Someday Never Comes by CCR.

Actually, if he's got email notification set up it could be exactly like flashing the bat signal. It would serve as a reminder every so often that there are people that would like to hear the end of his story.

Who is it going to confuse? It looks distinctly different. And it doesn't have a label with the city name and other information floating right above it. None of the other tile improvements are "significantly" smaller than the cities, well, at least not more so than this improvement already is.

Siege laying armies need water, too. Many sieges lasted days and months. I don't think that's what it is, but just saying.

But if it dies then it can rise again! ZOMBIE LINCOLN! I guess that would make it a true thread necro.

Yeah, even the dam, which doesn't have a scientific bonus isn't all that useful. By the time I have plastics, nearly, if not all, my cities that need power already have it from either coal or nuclear. And there is no way to remove a building even if you wanted to. Usually, I just build it for...

No, it really was advertising. http://www.smh.com.au/news/science/greenland-really-was-green-worlds-oldest-dna-reveals/2007/07/06/1183351455095.html Unless you go back hundreds of thousands of years. And it's still green along the coasts, but that doesn't amount to much...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War Yes. Obviously, Carthage had long since fallen. But it's that geographical area and it contains some of the Civ4 Carthage's main cities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Derna First American land battle on foreign soil after the...

Well, if they make nuclear reactors have disasters imagine what they would do with that.
