Civ1 and 3 tought me, that all the smart people in my empire look a bit like Sid Meyer.

Civ1 and Civ2 taught me that a Stone Age culture, after a single act of industrial espionage, can build tanks out of wood, leather and flint. Despite lacking engines (presumably pedal-powered), they perform as well as regular tanks.

Civ3 taught me that iron is rarely used in the modern world for anything except rails, and a surprising amount of military hardware is made of rubber.
