      Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
      Then why call him God? - Epicurus

                    Agreed. If you guys post some acronyms, I will do the 'cut and paste', at least for the more serious ones. I still have the original file somewhere.

                            Optimal City Number or something like that. It is the number of cities you are allowed with out having an extra level of corruption, due to too many cities.


                            At least that is what I think it is.....

                              I'll probably deserve a dope-slap for not knowing this one. In these forums I've seen "BG" used as reference to a type of terrain. I'm lost, Blue Grass? Bougainvilla Garden? Bogus Gravel? Buick Garage?
