Or the stuff thrown in the water by another certain species...

We only thrown in it rocks that would kill bacteria and generate well oxygenated water.

That must be it.

When I was a teen....Like a bunch of old sailors discussing mermaids, we would tell stories about the mythical Female Gamer as we roasted slim jims and kit kat around the warm glow of the 14" CRT....with the sound of TSR-80 midi music in the background

Back when being a computer gamer was, well, geeky.

Are we drilling to aquefiers, or just discussing a moist flowing effect?
Female Gamers... Let this one be more agressive than HongHu.
Don't you all hate stereotypical women?

Circularily flowing water is a Perpetual motion machine,
but Aquefiers already violate geology (Hydro) so why not the 2nd law of thermodynamics as well?
I tend to drill to aquefiers in a region I'm just planting bases in.
Natural roads are useful before you get a road on every square.

[Snowflake]

Didn't know I was not aggressive enough for you Enigma. Or should I also announce that I plan to kill everybody?

By the time you get the river started you would have already roaded every square wouldn't you?

"I Tried to Drill to an Aquifer and All I Got Was This Lousy Magma"

T-Shirt Slogan, Mount Planet Tourist Information Center

Raise / Lower Terrain, Drill to Aquifer, and 1000m solar collectors yielding double the energy of 10m collectors all seem pretty unrealistic.

The absence of "cliffs", areas where the elevation steeply rises, also seems unrealistic: the game forbids a difference in height over 999m between any two squares.

The planet isn't even spherical; it's a cylinder, like an old-time phonograph roll.

Maybe cliffs aren't allowed because they cause the needle to skip ...

Not aggressive at all, I'm rather passive. But dis my likes (i.e. Alpha Centauri, horses, endangered species(make that all species of animal)) and I'll kick you around so bad it isn't funny. Hence my screenname, Sirrocco. He's the most aggressive gelding (he's a horse) I know.

BTW, that "I tried to drill and Aquifer..." slogan is funny. Maybe I should use it next time I take an American Government course.

I've noticed the absence of cliffs, too. It seemed, but I didn't really pay attention since Sid Myers Civilzation II was the same way. I think it was easier for programers to do, so they decided to keep with the same pattern.

Umm, does that mean these are your dis-likes?

The baby harp seal joke is a gut buster

I wish we lived in a world were folks in your government class would get the joke, but something tells me they wont

I like to Drill to Aquifers, but it is a task I frequently forget.
I don't do it on mountain tops, though. Instead, I go just-off the four "corners" of the peak. This reduces, a little bit, the likelihood of the rivers merging within the first few spaces.

[Sirrocco]

Actually, they might. We have some gamers in there.

I meant don't disrespect things I like.

As for "The Baby Harp Seal Joke is a gut buster"...I didn't understand what you mean by that. I am a conservationist at heart. But I don't go tree-hugging. That's why I always pick the Gaia faction. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to find my Alpha Centauri CD so I can reinstall the program.

Lucky you, I don't run into many SMACers in RL

I know, I was just being smart-a$$, picking on the wording.

There is a link right above that line. It is the "You mean like this? " line.
