it is always nice to meet a PG player . The scenario ı was mentioning is the opening one of French Generals that you can find at
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/pgfanatics/ . I have all of the 6 completed packs and ı have enjoyed them all .

ı was of the opinion that my copy of Civ is somewhat non standart and seeing the undoubted and ,let me underline it , unchallenged expert opinion ı am more confident that it is indeed the case . As ı had already had a save that induced SGA at home and that had not showed up here ı had these two saves where the first one is the last turn of the age and the AI would not , in my opinion , allow the player to start a new age before the last one ended . The age ends and the second turn ,ı can start another . Let's say the SGL was a gift to add some weight to my claim of having ages ; which unfortunately might well become the UFO thingy of this forum .
and as Turner had already mentioned development elsewhere might increase scientific output so practically all cities are at wealth to keep the situation level . ı love the entertainers , they save me from building policing forces which don't cost a thing at monarchy but still waste turns that would be better used at building anything from libraries to factories and they improve overall game results , ı can't get domination victories unless people love me .For other aims , later in the game where the luxuries start to factor in all the entertainers will become taxmen .
the tech slider was at the lowest level to stress the point that the end of science age would cause a drop in scientific output which in my case meant the 25 turns remaining at save 1 would show as not 24 but 29 in test 2 . A boosted science effort giving 25 turns should be 30 without the SGA . At home it happens to me . And ı love this particular game where ı play it for keeps at home ; ı have landed on North America , killed the Mongols and airlifting tanks to attack Korean rifleman and cavalry , about to start the operation in a few turns , they are barely building railroads . Will win this one .
so unless Firaxis killed SGA , maybe because it interfered with some other aspect and ı have some illegal copy dating before that decision ( might hurt me but since there is already a long list of grievances against me , ı don't care much about it and ı won't complain as the game was an award , to say the least ) ı have one freak Civ . But ı can't obviously make it visible .
what follows is an obligation for me so please accept my pardon .
ı am a known liar and a cheat .
at this particular forum where ı "serve" ı was banned for a week . ı was happy that my March 24 , 2008 post saying "let's play" was no longer valid and ı was booted out .Nobody would miss r16 the loudmouth ,especially r16 himself . It turned out to be only temporary to my groans of "Please God , not another year " and since ı am qualified at getting kicked out of forums ı have been specifically told to behave somewhat ; the present challenge is to stay in .Which means ı have to eat my word and rant here . Over there where this post rightfully belongs ı would be reported to the moderator immediately , and get banished again . - As nobody is ever asking me on what ı think and they don't care when they ask out of politeness , this is the way to go . - ı have long been accused of carrying my personal troubles onto the net , crying about how people laugh at me on the streets ,mock me etc etc . But talking on the web achieves practically nothing . In contrast , the old methods are already shown to be effective and will be available , trust me , but as ı said nobody is asking me . Yessir , ı told you so , sir ... We are not in the habit of retracting statements , the patience is wearing thin and of course there is enough power out there to make us say uncle .
chanting about lovely North Korea , ranting about item 14 of basic principles of defence by "Boots" Blesse ,claiming the accidental discovery of electrically conducting plastics by a Asian student in USA was not accidental as "his notes were tampered with " or " the true meaning of the race is not to the swift , nor the battle to the strong , but that's the way to bet ( by Ring Lardner ) is not really understood but it is 101 over here" is what ı do , in a real annoying way and being halfway honest ı really work hard not to be taken seriously .
it is like a race where the leaders look back at the idiots who keep the distance to remain definitely at the back but the oldtimers watching from the stands know the fools started early and are actually ahead ...
the oldguard would understand why ı , r16 of all people , would claim a science age while it is common knowledge that it doesn't work .
and trust me that they would believe me .
with apologies to Civfanatics community . ı won't repeat such out of context ranting if ı can help it . ı am here for the game .
