    So you can destroy a part in progress with a spy in any city in the builder's empire?

      No, what YOU had said, Blaupanzer.
      You can destroy a part that is completed in any city in the builder's empire.

        Jaybe, you shaved and acquired a pipe instead of your axe.

        So the already finished parts any city; parts in progress in city where it is being built??? Seems too easy as long as you have lots of espionage points.

          Id like to say that last night I realized I was running Civ4 at less than my monitors native resolution. I upped it to native resolution, (1200 by 1000 or so) and am playing at medium settings, and it looks very sharp. Perhaps I should see what happens at high settings.

            That was a guitar, not an axe. The pic was of Jerry Garcia, the new one is of ME (I hadn't known how to take pics with my mac before). I've really taken to the hat, and I am often smoking a pipe (I have a couple dozen), never did care for cigarettes or cigars.

            I doubt very much that your 'eye' avatar is of YOU.

            Yah, but who wants to devote so many resources to have such a surplus of EP, and then so much effort in applying them? Of course, sometimes it's the best option you HAVE.

              An axe ? hahaha - i didnt even know what you meant ! You really thought all the time, that guitar was an axe ?! And the guy was a giant dwarf from lord of the rings or something ?! Seriously - i cant hold myself... hahaha...

              EDIT: Jaybe - please repost the pic for us, if you can... i´d really like to see that axe - just for the laughs...

              (no offence, blaupanzer, right ? i just think thats hillarious...)

                I knew that was Jerry Garcia, who called his non-steel guitar an "axe." I am old enough to have seen Garcia in concert a few times. I forget the rest of you might not be up on 60's lore. Anyway, I like the new picture better. I myself wear a full beard and longish hair and get accused on occasion of looking like Jerry. (Compared to my actual looks, I suspect that's a compliment.)

                As to my eye, it's relevant to satellites. I also am not familiar with how to take pictures and turn them into icons, so I picked from what was available.

                  Tough to offend me; but I hate to be misunderstood. Quite a few of the older guitarists referred to their lead guitars with the term "axe."

                    Oh - sorry, then, i thought You meant it literally. In German they would call it a club (Keule), i guess...

                      And in Danish it has the nickname "spade" - which I kind of like

                        A guitar does look closer to a spade than an upside down ax. Doesn't sound as sexily barbarian as axe though, at least in English.

                          it turns out that timing a war for when your unique unit appears is not always a simple matter.

                            Amplify. What happened related to the time period soon after you could produce the special unit? Which unit? Seems you like this version of civ, yes?

                              I am France. I had a big war right before I got musketeers. I then had to take time to recover, and that was the period when I had musketeers (and didnt want to make a lot of them, as I had an oversized army left over from the war, and of course since its a first gen gunpowder unit, I couldnt promote existing units to musketeer) by the time I was ready for another war, the musketeer was obsolete.

                              Yes, I like Civ4.

                                Play marathon or epic.
                                Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
                                The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
                                The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila
