Do people really think we get paid for our work here?

All the staff members do this for free

I'd pay MarkG to be a moderator. I want that power!!

I have serious doubts about using Civ as an educational tool. There has to be a more time-efficient way to teach scientific progression, or geopolitics. Maybe there would be some use in history lessons for showing the situation which some country or other found itself in, but it's way too simplified to do properly, even with an accurate, detailed scenario.

No, alva was suggesting that you were paid for your time here. By your employer.

It leads me to beleive Canada's education system is becoming just as screwed up as the U.S. Where they try to use entertainment to teach kids. But it only does so in a half-assed way. Civilization cannot teach history but perhaps in a broad way.

We'll have a whole generation of kids thinking a spearman can defeat a tank in battle!!!

Exactly why you shouldn't have it.

To be fair, I don't think that such a confrontation has been conclusively tested.

[DrSpike]

You bring the spear, I'll bring the tank.

The polish attacked the german tanks with infantry and light cavalry in 1939. They lost.

[Immortal Wombat]

If spearmen > tanks, then obviously spearmen > cavalry as well.

Was it ever decided how many men/tanks there were in a single unit? We could probably stage a scaled down version quite easily.

what more doe one want?

[DrSpike]

Well, from experience elsewhere banning people ceases to become fun quite fast, and Ming has banned a lot of people.

Platypus, IMHO I wouldn´t wish moderatorship on my worst enemy. I´ve been moderator on other (non Civ-related) sites. It´s an extremely thankless job...

[Addled Platypus]

[Zoid]

Do you have tofu spam?
