    And of course the ship will have a settler pikeman combo on-board.

    Or the ship will attack a city. Which is my favorite since the civ you attack get's pissed.

        MWHC, in 2.42, I can't end a turn with the city screen open. Not that I'd want to, but the little message comes up saying you must close the city screen to proceed (continue?). What version are you playing?

          This is very annoying when multiplaying because you can't save and reload when you hit the wrong key.
          Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

          Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

            I do that one alot but my ALL TIME MOST ANNOYING MOVE is as follows. Another player asks a question and the old "chat with king" menu pops up. Then while typing an answer to the question it switches to my turn and my attempted keystrokes turn into ridiculous commands. In a recent game I missed 2 whole turns altogether and irrigated a meaningless square all before founding my first city.

            Another one I do sometimes is I get caught in the middle of adjusting workers in a city when it switches to my turn - usually when I'm deciding if I should switch off the whale to gold in an attempt to time the oedo year and beaker count exactly thus costing me a 4 turn wait in my revolution.

              Getting caught shifting workers between turns sucks and it does happen to me quite often early when the turns are moving fast. (but I would rather have this than people doing it during their turns)

              Gee, I hope that irrigation wasn't completed. You can stop them.

              The king chat sometimes catches me because I'll be moving the cursor and it will translate to a GOTO command. And after a few beers I sometimes don't clear it right.

                This happens all the freakin' time to me. This is because I am a hasty player with poor hand eye coordination. Usually I don't reload and just accept the results, but I wiil reload in a critical situation, like if I need 3 howitzers to take out a city, but fumble with one of them thus making it not possible to win.

                    All too often with airplanes looking over the sea for enemy ships. Think 5 out, 5 back. Arrow key 1-2-3-4-5 . . . 6 arrrrgh.

                      'Tappens all the tyme ta' me, but I don' let it get me down.
                      I pretend this is only the result of ineptitude in the command chain, not my impatience.
                      I then tell myself that the offending electronic warrior has been excecuted on the spot, and his entire extended family banished for life to that strip of glacier at the vertical limits of the map. (i've been playin' cutthroats so long, Civ2 only makes me happy in bloodbath.) sometimes I have the division decimated as a lesson.
                      I know, I should get out more

                        Actually I'm Gothmog, Lieutenant of the Tower of Minas Morgul, not Gothmog, Lord of the Balrogs. If I were a balrog, I might not have trouble with those keys.

                          It only happens when I'm trying real hard not to do it.

                            Often enough...

                            ...that I have never finished a game without reloading at least once...
                            No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                              I really hate hitting the wrong key and having my peaceful trireme filled with a settler and a Pikeman headed to form a new city only to find them attacking a neighbors civ who is much stronger than me

                                ALARP! Yes that happens to me quite often as well...particularly in combat/war...I tend to get too enthusiastic and fly a bit too far to find out I'm gonna crash...
