      Hannibal crossed the Alps -- with one surviving elephant -- at the (IIRC) Brenner Pass; in my own mods passes are diagonally-adjacent mountains amidst impassable mountain tiles.

        Las Vegas is built on a desert.

          Yes, thanks to intense diversion of water from every imaginable source of water within striking distance; and it and other SouthWest US conurbations are rapidly depleting the natural fresh-water infrastructure upon which they depend.

              If your list is anywhere near as long as mine, you have my sympathies

                We are human, hear us roar! Plus, what the hell else are we going to put in the desert? Don't worry Oz, one day you'll get your wish, maybe, an asteroid will obliterate humans and nature will once again rule the Earth.

                    Thanks. Although so far, it's turning out to be wrong. Which is good. I'd rather be wrong then see people die.

                    I think cities should be built anywhere, even mountains. Since one tile of terrain in this game generally represents 100's of square miles, it isn't totally insane to have cities on any kind of terrain.

                      Actually, I rather like our species, especially at its best -- which doesn't, metaphorically, include fouling our own bathwater.

                        That's okay Oz, I'm just messing with you. Create a thread in the OT and we can discuss the human effects on water.

                          Mess away And the issue of water is at once so huge (the point at hand; the IMF et. al. forcing the privatization of water in the 3rd world, raising the cost of water beyond the ability of the residents to pay) and yet such a small subset of the overall issue of the human impact on the environment that we might as well each right a pair of PhD dissertations.

                            Did anyone mention already that you can't clean up pollution on impassable mountains? I've been meaning to try an air unit, but it probably wont work like it did in SMAC.

                                well, yeah, the upgrade cost would be staggering, but that is an idea. I like having moutains impassable by everything though. Makes chokeholds all the more important.
