If it is shown on a map with a decent format, then I would have found it.



It might seems strange now-a-days, but when I was young (a year or two after you ) in school, I and a few others challenged each other to find odd-cities/towns at the map, delivered by the school in shortest posssible time. I liked that (and other games like that) - and are pretty proud of my readiness-knowledge (knows a little about everything, but not much about a single item..... but I am a damn good "guesser").

Sigh, did you all sleep in school?

Belgium is named after the flat footed cow that is called Belgerung in the local language. And everyone knows that cows comes from India. So thats where Belgium is, an Indian state.

Look just northwest of Los Angeles, California, USA. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 ...

Okay, I was wrong. Ventura county is only 1/8th the size of Denmark. But San Bernardino county, where my brother lives (just east of Los Angeles), is bigger than all of Denmark! But the Danish pastry in San Bernardino SUCKS!

who believes that if a stupid american says it ? so, i conclude, because you are a stupid american, you must be wrong, which means that most americans are smart, which means... er....

I disagree. If you mean in Mexico... I think empenadas (spelling?) are very good! I was talking about San Bernardino county, California, USA.

Math, if you want my opinion, you would not defeat Gavrushka on an all islands standard game game. I may be wrong, but I don't think so.

Well blackice got PBEM polluted, which gave me some victories against him.. I do feel though he is the better player, just tainted by PBEM!

I have accepted a challenge from Quinns.. Who in my opinion is an extremely robust playing opponent.. He absolutely MASSACRED me in our first challenge game..

I'm still playing with settings, trying to mix AI, caravan, garanaries and infra, on a standard setting to encompass all map possiblities is quite the challenge. Not to mention the best senario for both mp and PBEM has been a puzzle. It now has me all over the map.
