I always tell them, I'm not lazy, just efficient.

It's a fine line.

Nice try.
Actually after a couple of years of letting people go, it looks like it may be starting to turn around. We're still in a hiring freeze, but it looks like it will be lifted soon.

Starting to. More jobs coming in. It beats the heck out of wondering what you're going to work on next. Since we're in market research, that's one of things that gets cut first. IT's recovery is a good sign for the economy in general.

I can see doing it in a 1x production game in your cap before it switches to size two so you can save the food... but I like having the archer in our games... especially when that enemy horsy end's it turn next to your city

I have done this in the circumstances that Ming mentioned, getting that settler out of your cap and you suddenly have 3 cities to everyone elses 2

I played a 1x1x game earlier in the week... those early turns go fast because it takes so long for anything to happen. Getting that third city down before your opponent is HUGE. Disbanding an archer works... I won't disband a horsey or chariot... too many huts to find

I do recall one time doing that and having 3 cities with no defenders and no gold when I saw the red menace come over the mountains .

I went from thinking how clever I am to thinking how stupid I am.

In our games, at 2x pro, we learn to defend or die.

In 1x... It was tough defending your cities properly and still expand like crazy... I think I will stick to 2x pro in the future. I know I've played 1,000's of games in 1x time mode, but it against the AI, it goes quick. Against other players, it just seemed boring. When people quit for the night, we hadn't really gotten anywhere... sigh.

In 1x games, I have disbanded archers a few times. It's easier to consider when it's an attached archer. It's harder for me to disband any none-unit.

My point exactly. I play for the fun of it, for the interaction via KC, and because I work all day and every day - and sometimes all night - at my computer and Civ is a rare opportunity actually to use the machine without hating it.
