For your future city explosion, useful Wonders would be:
- Michelangelos (&JSB, but could probably wait)
- Magellans
- Leonardos, to keep those NONEs up to date
- HooverDam, if you are twiddling your thumbs...

Is that all

Well I have downloaded the game and will play in the next few days.

It looks like there is many strategies avaible
I will of course choose the worst

PS : I really don't think being agressive now is a great option. Ah those ICS fans ... but later, a bit later.

This sentence reminds me of another one:
"Que j'aime à faire apprendre un nombre utile aux sages"
(if you count the number of letters of each word, this gives you: 3.1415926535 )

What is the perimeter of a circle when the radius is ONE ?

[Ben Kenobi]

In my limited translation skills,

BM:

La sagesse de votre entreprise ne sera pas décidé
jusqu'à 1750. Ensuite...... ça se discute!

Means literally,

"The wisdom of your company will not be decided until 1750. Then...... that is discussed!"

or Hindsight is 20/20.

And Lafayette's,

"Que j'aime à faire apprendre un nombre utile aux sages"

"I like to make use of a number for wisdom."

Hence, his comment about pi.

[Scouse Gits]

I agree - within nit-picking distance anyway ...

Twice pi. Pi is the perimeter of a circle whose diameter is one...

My best guess at the original French aphorisms:

Originally posted by Julius Brenzaida

Revenge is a dish best eaten cold.
All things come to those who wait.

Veering back on topic: in the latter case, some of those things might be very bad...

Edit: one minute faster than Stu in mounting the podium of pedantry!

[Scouse Gits]

Oh LaFayette - you mean the perimeter (more commonly 'circumpherence' in English) of a circle with a diameter of one.

Stu - remembering that he was once a mathematician

The number, 3.14159, was the only thing understandable, hence, my comment about pie.

Thanks to all for the translations. I especially liked DaveV's.

WTF am I missing?

Yeah, yeah, and Monk's "pie/pi" reference flew past a few people.

Maybe I'm just being dense, but here's the line that made me --

if you count the number of letters of each word, this gives you: 3.1415926535
