That's one I'd never heard myself, either inside or outside of Civ. Thanks, Tomasz!-Tomasz- said:

GPS that -Tom- is talking about actually stands for Global Positioning System. The device that you use is technically a GPSr where the 'r' stands for reciever. There are 24 geo-syncronous satelitttes of which you can potentially see up to 12 at a time. 3 are all that are needed for 2D (latitude, longtitude) coordinates but a 4th is needed for 3D (altitude). When only communicating with 3 the GPSr will use the earth as a 4th sphere.
Of course you guys knew that a geek would have a GPSr

Wow ... I thought the Got it, Played it, Sent it was the right answer, but thanks for the detailed answer about Global Position System.Tubby Rower said:GPS that -Tom- is talking about actually stands for Global Positioning System.

Help!! I've got some new acronyms that I'm not familiar with:
MGL =
SP =
IMO =
AA =
I need a lot of help!
BB
MGL =
SP =
IMO =
AA =
I need a lot of help!
BB
MGL = military great leader.
SP = Single Player game
IMO = a derivative of IMHO which is "in my humble opinion"
AA = Ancient Age
MA can mean two things depending on what it's referring to. Either Middle Ages or Military Alliance.
GA = Golden Age.
"Pointy stick" is what our Gallic Swords will point at MIA if they don't shape up.
You're fine and I will try to locate the better up to date jargon page.

MA can also refer to Modern Age or the unit Modern Armor. So you can form a MA (military alliance) with another civ to use MA's (modern armors) in the MA (modern age), but not in the MA(middle ages).Whomp said:
The acronym that drives me crazy is TGL, which can be either The Great Library or The Great Lighthouse, and they are both availabe around the same time period.

thats why i prefer to use The Great Bulb (lighthouse) or The Great Book.gmaharriet said:MA can also refer to Modern Age or the unit Modern Armor. So you can form a MA (military alliance) with another civ to use MA's (modern armors) in the MA (modern age), but not in the MA(middle ages).

also used is TGLight and TGLib.
What about "GL" which is used for the Great Library, the Great Lighthouse and both Scientific and Military Great Leaders ??
GA = Golden Age & Ginger_Ale (BTW how are Mommy_Ale and Daddy_Ale ? )
RM = RegentMan and yours truly.
So, we all get confused sometimes; don't be afraid to ask what it means.

As an incentive to post a bit more (to get over the limit) I talked to whomp on some specs for your avatar. This is what I've come up with.

Very nice Mistfit. I tink he'll like dat.
BB here's your succession game (aka SG) Bede and Gram Harriet have started. You have been given a special invitation.
TGOM and Ancient Crone go to Alpha Centuri
Here is a link to a utility that you should download (DL)
It will give you a quick overview of your empire versus clicking F1, F4 screens. Maybe others can tell you how they get from the game to this program underneath it but on my keyboard it's the "Microsoft window" key and then I can click mapstat and get the view and go back to the game. Rinse and repeat every turn.
Crpsuite
A lot of players on this team also use this and seem to like it quite a bit as well but it may have more info than you need. I have not used it yet so I can't really don't know all that it offers.

Alt-TAB will switch between programs currently running. In SG's I usually have Paint Shop Pro (for screenshots), notepad (for notes), MapStat (to prevent riots), & ![[c3c]](/images/smilies/c3c.gif "Civ3 Conquests [c3c]")
all running and can switch between them as necessary.

I'm here! Thinking about beer!
Reading over a lot of the threads and the 1st thing that strikes me is that war will be different against humans. I think we have a better team though form the names I see on the rosters.
Don't know what to jump in on or what thread I should pop my 1st barley-pop in and contribute but I will.
Where do I locate save to give it the once over?
@Wildcat 'Slinger--
Get a beer and I would read the "turnplay log thread" first just to see the log. There are useful pics in Tubbys "geek numbers" thread. If you want aggravation and my latest rant read the "diplo" threads. For full frontal Adm.K. isms hit the "naval operations" thread. It ultimately could be the most important thread at some point.
The email is
teamkissATgmailDOTcom
password is sillywabbit6
The password for the save is 100Euros
If you view the latest save don't move units around but the screens are available for pics whatever.
