Agreed. If you guys post some acronyms, I will do the 'cut and paste', at least for the more serious ones. I still have the original file somewhere.

A not serious one: 'F7': how to get 12 GL with 11 warriors by 3950BC.

Optimal City Number or something like that. It is the number of cities you are allowed with out having an extra level of corruption, due to too many cities.


At least that is what I think it is.....

I'll probably deserve a dope-slap for not knowing this one. In these forums I've seen "BG" used as reference to a type of terrain. I'm lost, Blue Grass? Bougainvilla Garden? Bogus Gravel? Buick Garage?

Or, IOW, those grasslands that have the little shields in them, producing one shield instead of the normal zero that grassland produces.
