without a doubt... i can see on tiny landmasses too where the disbanding is viable.....but not on a small single continent world where your opponent may be 8 squares away

Yeah, nothing like having your first exploring warrior get 4 squares away and then showing closer to someone else's capital. DOH

Yep... that's when you know you are in trouble... and better hope there is some open land in the other direction. Or go capital hunting knowing that you will probably get a restart after taking somebodies capital

It all depends who is playing, and how even the start is.

But yes, a three man game can turn into a duel really quickly.

Where do you keep track of the top ten posters?

Did you guys set up a LAN to play Civ II MP? Sounds like fun! Could you please tell the tale of the front, who were in the game, how did it end etc? If nothing else, it will provide you an opportunity to get +1's...

If he made a mistake and edited it you should have quoted him before he could change it, like he did to me yesterday.

Every economist is Keynesian to one degree or another. Keynes' contributions to economics (and indeed the progress of human well-being) are immense.

To be honest (and despite DrSpike's assertion above) I don't know what kind of economist I am... There are no right answers in economics... I guess I'm a sceptical one...

But I'd put J M Keynes among the top three economists of all time together with Adam Smith... The third spot is still open for debate...

You are an economist? If so you can join me in the fight against the infidels who call us lords of voodoo.

Btw the third person to add to the list would have to be Marshall.
