            Uber is right, Sire...

            It's the Foreign Advisor from Civ2. She still makes me dream of her sometimes
            Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
            And notifying the next of kin
            Once again...

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

                  Interesting question would also be, what has Russ Meyer taught me... But that's for another thread.
                  I've allways wanted to play "Russ Meyer's Civilization"

                    Civ taught me that nuclear missiles are dandy tools for scouting.

                    • 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.
