          Civ3 taught me that there is no shame in wearing dipers... even warriors do!

            EU has taught me that it's not only possible for Pirates to discover the new world, but that they could be more powerful than any nation-state.

              Pirates! taught me that a poorly commanded frigate was no match for a well captained sloop. The same applies to war galleons


              Pinnace v. Galleon, baby, that's where it's at!

              Also, Pirates! taught me that town militias will suicidally charge superior pirate forces hiding in forests.

              A LOT (infinite, even) of ships carrying Incan treasure went down but had the treasure rescued and then buried in random spots arround the Carribean.

              If you fight & capture (or sink) a ship on the high seas, somehow the nearest town hears about before you can get there.

                    Let us not forget the main lesson that Civ taught us: there is no such thing as corruption in a democracy, and bribery is completely ineffective.

                      Civ 2 taught me that drunken orgies increase population.

                      Civ 1 taught me that 50 settlers on one square do the same amount of work as 1 settler.

                      Civ 1 taught me that the Romans were backwards to prefer Legions over Chariots.

                      Civ 2 taught me that it costs more to bribe 10,000 people in a settler than a city of several million.

                      Civ 1 taught me that aliens really built the pyramids...AI magically gets wonders when they need them.

                        Civ2 taught me that if you stumble upon a primative native tribe they will teach you all sorts of cool stuff.

                        Civ2 taught me that you can clean up nuclear radiation in a decade.

                        Civ2 taught me that Leonardo was a wizard who would upgrade your troops without any training or costs at all.

                              Civ 1 taught me that people really do come out of cauliflowers - those cauliflowers are stacked in granaries and when there are enough cauliflowers tens of thousands of new citizens walk out.

                              (Or rather, Civ 2 taught me that - I never figured out the exact mechanism for population increase in Civ 1 when playing it)
