So had did you learn to read, write and do arithmetic then?

Civ can be a great educational tool. But the ONLY educational tool? I find that hard to believe.

Cruddy likes to rain on people's parades. Some people get their kicks that way. :shrug:

I watched a guy spend damned near the whole game attacking one of my mountain cities.
Other cities all around, but this guy was on a mission.
Costly mission.
