      Taken from an imagination...
      However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

            Jonathan Swift's satirical essay from 1729, where he suggests that the Irish eat their own children.

              Since Python is a part of the game, I guess it's a Python source editor.

                A rare bit of honesty, too bad its not true.

                  Monty Python anyone?

                  Seriously though, will we need a compiler?

                    Python is a run-time language... no need to compile. One probably should install the proper version of Python in order to edit things though.

                      Didn't think of that. We will need to be careful about version compatability.

                        For your explanation due to the rolly eyes, that is not necessarily true if the comments of the person can be taken into context properly. Sid Meier calling Civ4 - The Real Civilization 3 - blatantly resembles sarcasm, as the probability of such an occurrence is very slim to nill. Good day.

                        My thoughts exactly; Civ3 wasn't what it should have been, so Civ4 ought to be called The Real Civ3.

                          BTW: Guido van Rossum (the inventor of Python) really had Monty P. in mind when he invented the name!

                            Isn't that quote from me and not Locutus?
