They were. Imagine, there once was a time where Civ had no events, espionage and UBs. And Russia was orange!

The best event is the herds of bats.

Our bat herds in the hills near [city], legendary in quantity, are now providing us surplus sources of saltpeter for use in gunpowder.

• Our ability to manufacture large amounts of gunpowder should prove lucrative
• +1 in the plot
• +1 in 4 additional plots
  

PS: DAMN you JAPAN for the Nth time beating me, England, to Industrial, and Modern age.

 

[Leoreth]

You have your 2/3 UHV, so why did you keep all those expensive cities all over the world? It's no wonder that the Japanese were able to outtech you.

 

[Ogrelord]

I saved the game before the Arc of Triumph golden age. I tried different combination of what cities I can keep and letting go of others. Other letting go of every cities. One game didn't have Babylon as vassal. It didn't matter, Japan was way to far ahead from 3000 BC unlocked with its Classical Wonders.

Maybe solution is in your post? In PS. Starts with DAMN and ends with bullets

I can't use my right arm for a while... is there an option to change the mouse-cursor for left-hand mouse in RFC? (so it'll point to the right)

 

[Leoreth]

Do lefthanded mouses really use right-pointing cursors? I'm a leftie and have been using the standard cursor for all of my life.

 

[nody]

It should be possible, the cursor should be directed the same way as you would hold a pen. Don't you think?

 

[Leoreth]

As I've growned accustomed to that not being the case, the answer's no, obviously

 

[nody]

But you do use a left-hand mouse?

It must be hard, being a left-handed person in a right-handed world...

For me it's especially hard, since I'm forced to use my left hand because of RSI on my right arm.

Spoiler :

Which I probably got from playing too much RFC...

and onanism.

 

[Leoreth]

I was "countereducated" at school, so I write with my right hand (oddly, my left hand writing is horrible) and do almost everything else with my left. It's not that hard, many products (like guitars) also come in a leftie variant. Though I still use a rightie mouse.

Okay, if you use a right-handed mouse the cursor should point to the left.

About 'countereducation': My grandmother had to endure the same thing by vicious Catholic nons... are you a senior too, because I thought that lefties were 'emancipated' a long time ago. You must be at least 60, right?

 

[Leoreth]

I'm 21
"Countereducated" may be a harsh word (it definitely didn't involve vicious nuns). I seem to be the rare kind of person with a rather "undefined" handiness (is that a word? You know what I mean), so while left is my preferred orientation, it didn't feel "forced" after some weeks.

Haha! I was just guessing. I'm not much older.

My mother has that too. She writes with her right hand, but she irons for example with her left hand.

It's called cross-dominance.

 

[KMRblue1027]

Because apparently nobody looks at the multiplayer sub-forum now I'll post my question here.

For a Pitboss game do I still have to have someone playing as an active Civ or will the game simply skip turns until me and my friend spawn?

 

[fireclaw722]

...vicious Catholic nons...

So it's not just Americans that hate nunsp)...

 

[nody]

No, Dutch Catholic nuns in the early 1900's were also evil. At least according to the stories I'm been told.

I am almost the opposite. I write with my left hand and do everything else with my right. (Including mouse)

ditto for me.

Spoiler :

yes - this is to NODY - NOT YOU OK?

Spoiler :

you should carefully consider what you write about any group of people. Especially on such a public forum as this.
What you said about Dutch Catholic nuns in 1900 may be true. However, I think there is a greater chance it is not. This is because for the most part, the world doesn't understand why Catholics do certain things, and they are made believe to be an evil force in the world, although the reality is clear: they are (through history and even now) the world's greatest promoter of peace and human kindness ever known. I really don't want to get into a religious debate for a couple reasons - the biggest one is because it's not proper for us to do so here. And that is another reason why you shouldn't make such a broad statement (which you yourself admit may not be true when you say "I've been told,") on this forum.

My own quote:

I actually meant: SOME Dutch Catholic nuns were unkind to their pupils IMHO. Evil is the word I use to describe how I feel about it.

Like my grandmother to force her to use her right hand and severely punished her if she used her (prefered) left hand.

No doubt there (also) were (and are) very kind and loving nuns in the Netherlands and elsewhere. Of course you (and I) always hear about the 'bad' things. Sadly good (pleasant) things are easily forgotten...
