    Or how about setting both computers to hot-seat play each other?

      - you try to click on screen shots as if it were an actual game in play.

      Guilty as charged ... all too often, in fact!

      Or, if you capture a city, leaving a knight-Army (my ONLY Army) in it to heal and it FLIPS on you IMMEDIATELY ... and you don't reload.

            I'll have to try that one.

            Last night, I had Conquests running on my new computer, playing as the Dutch, and I had Play the World running on this computer, playing as the Germans.

                    Here's an anecdote of a recent conversation: (pathetic, really)

                    A friend is telling another friend (also a civer) and myself about some guy that didn't want to pay the Utility Athority for watering his lawn. He had a spring on a hill near his house and he piped it down the hill to storage tanks using the water pressure instead of pumps. The first friend makes the comment, "Like the Roman Aquaduct systems."

                    I look toward the second friend and say, "Well, I guess now that guy can have more than 5 kids.'

                            That'll teach you to treat your family as an 'empire'...stick to being a chieftain and they'll be 'naturally content'

                            Well...
                            Either that, or splash out loads on luxuries
