Gee, and I had this image of kcbob able to navigate the vast sea of possible choices that is the mouse control as well as being sure-footed on the rock that is the keypad

When I said "busted", I meant on my misuse of the English language. Please rest assured that I am quite skilled in using both upper appendages. Which begs the question... sure-footed on the keypad???
You use your toes???

Might as well try this. I've tried it without using my brain on occasion, that's for sure.

As someone who 'grew up' in the non-mouse era, I prefer to use the keyboard, unless I really have to click on something.
I do, however use the 'goto' command sometimes.Comment
-
The few times I tried the 'GoTo' command, I about fell out of my chair when I saw the route the units decided to take. Is there some unique application for this command that does make it useful?

I once played civ w/ my toes actually..Indifference is BlissComment

you can use a mouse?
actually I seen that in the rules. But figured the keypad would be faster. I was born on games like the bards tale where you used directional keys. Although they used a star patter using the l, and comma keys (can't remember). But it is a pain switching to a mouse for the city interface screen. Now if only I were ambidexterous (I'm sure I spelled that wrong).Comment

I've always used the keyboard. I only learned about the mouse movement a month or so ago.Comment
-
Oh I use the curser keys, definitly!

actually bards tale had a similar type of directional mouse controls as well... the mouse cursor would change between various arrows for turn right/left, about face, or go straight depending on where on the main street view you placed it. Didn't like the mouse controls then either At least it didn't require you to use the mouse to play.
