    You don’t need 300 actions per minute to get addicted to Civilization…

    You must construct additional pylons.

    “It was clear to me that I had a choice: I could either have Civilization on my computers, or I could be a deputy assistant secretary of the US Treasury. I could not do both.”

    The solution is to spawn more overlords.

  6. Also, y’all are scrubs real Internet Bismarcks are going to be playing http://www.victoria2.com/

  7. Curious whether Rob is/was a Civ player. It is really the only game I could ever get into – and btw, I think it is very much lacking in its root economic theories. Add some economic realism to that game and it would be perfect.

    • I strongly encourage you to check out Victoria 2 this August then. Take a look at the forums section of the website I linked above and you’ll see that modeling the pre-WWII world economy was the primary concern of the developers. Heck, you can probably get the first Victoria with it’s expansion Revolutions for something like $5 any more, and its more than worth it from an enjoyment/dollar standpoint.
