1000 Clues You Play Civ IV Too Much

[Zebra 9]

I don't get on much anymore but this is the one thread I always check when I can. So...

I believe your on 1692 so the next should be 1693. Of course this is just an approximation since I did not check the proceeding pages.

P.S. It appears that people were correcting the count and not saying so. If you compensate for someone who puts the wrong number please say so.


EDIT:
1694: When your only goals in life are civ related projects (space elevator, internet, ...).

I just went the default 4000 because we are playing Earth speed, with 6050 turns, but it lags so badly each turn is 1 year.

1703) You are worried about MAFs with a map this big with so many units on it.
