Keep on being a thorn - calling out historical truth is not trolling, its necessary here. LOTM

I'm no expert on history, just pointing out logic faults with this particular addition in the game. I think this is one of those things that Firaxis will be able to add to to the back of the box, for sales.

If only we could reach a definition of fun that everyone could agree on ...

A good friend of mine will absolutely refuse to play any fantasy/sci fi game even if it has identical rules and maps to a historical game he loves, just with different names. For him, if it is make believe it is not fun. Go figure

strange huh, it is all make beleive !!!!!!

Although i do agree i dont like the Space tpye scenarios in civ 2, nor have i evr played SMAC... I like the concept of bieng in charge of humans and setting their future ... so it needs some soet of reality, just not too much !
