    Here's a cool gmail hack that shows blast radii.

    This Google Maps hack is both informative and chilling: "HYDESim maps overpressure radii generated by a ground-level detonation; these radii are an indicator of structural damage to buildings." In other words, it overlays the blast radius of a nuclear-grade explosion...

      Which is kinda silly... "I have this internal combustion engine, I've been trying to fit coal inside it, to no avail... "
      I've allways wanted to play "Russ Meyer's Civilization"

          One thing still missing, so to speak... Let's say I've improved all of my squares, and my workers have nothing to do, and are idling at a city somewhere. Then, I discover Scientific Method, and find oil in some desert, without improvements. If automated, one of my workers will head there to build a well. One. Out of a dozen. The rest just sit on their asses doing nothing. I don't get it. The more workers I have doing something, the faster it gets done. So why aren't they doing anything? Grrr...
          Always have a few that are under your control. It's a mistake to rely only on automated Workers.

          And try Improve Nearest City. Sometimes they'll wander off and end up in a neighbouring city, but if you name them by the city's name, you can always find them. Usually if they're done working in the area, they'll sit inside the city and wait for something to show up. They're not always efficient about it, but at least you'll know where to find the nearest one.
