You suck, Brant. I didn't know this scenario existed. Now I'm going to have to go find it.  >:(

Why not plop yer next 2 cities so they have those natural wonders you found 1st turn?  :idiot2:
They both will give you a huge early boost. and they are not that far from your capitol so roads won't be expensive.

I have all of the Civ V expansions, including G+K, so it should be on my HD somewhere.

That's true. 700-some hours into Civ V and I didn't even know there was a strategic view until I saw it in Brant's last AAR.

I didn't even know this was in the scenarios! :o Nice find and nice start to the AAR. Steampunk is nice and different. O0
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

Foul Temptress! (Mirth replying to Gus) ;)

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

It's funny how you mooks want to impugn my Civ capabilities when you don't even know half of what's in the game ::)
