      Good Stuff! While I yawned during the News I also had a beer (I rarely have more than one).

      By the time the Senate came around I was having a second beer (yahoo!) and ... I'd never thought about disconnecting coal. I might check that out in my current game (don't know where coal is yet) ... raze the fort or coal mine when oil connected, raze the road/rail, rebuild the mine if a workable one.

      Temporarily a happy camper (but I'm pondering having a THIRD beer, would be the first time in years)!

        Hmmm, time for a new slogan?

        PolyCast: Turning civvers into alcoholics
        PolyCast: If THIS doesn't drive you to alcohol, nothing will
        PolyCast: Adding a whole new meaning to Civilization Anonymous

          Nice episode...
          But Macki should talk even more
          Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
          The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
          The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila

            Let us know how it works out.

            The best one of those, IMO, is the fourth.

              Pretty good episode.

              Some of the discussion about civrev was quite interesting - particulalrly since it seems Joe can out talk Imran!

              I also had never really thought about disconnecting coal - but I tend to agree - what about the !
              I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

                  With regards to your conversation on horse troops underrated. Nobody mentioned the powerful flanking promotion (in bts) which is one of the only ways to prevent a large stack of catapults/trebuchets from ripping you a new one.

                  Re- Moving capital can be useful if you have the majority of your cities on continent 1 and you haven't yet moved to continent 2. You can build Versailles on Continent 1, as your continent 2 cities do not have the production yet to beat someone else to it. Then later when continent 2 has filled out you can move your capital to reduce cost.

                  Not that great of a strat as
                  1. Versailles sux
                  2. The equiv national wonder can be built instead
                  3. State property may be a better option.

                    The identity of this "DeathMonkey" intrigues me...
                    Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators, the creator seeks - those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest. - Thus spoke Zarathustra, Fredrick Nietzsche
