5. "RE: Civilization the Next"
In response to message #0
 
   I spent many hours back in the Elder Days playing or, more often, watching other gweeps play the original Civ for PC (and Amiga, I think). Silly shit happened pretty routinely in that game; I remember a bunch of Settlers sinking one of Andrew Petrarca's battleships once, because those units had a defense rating and the game made no allowance for "well, technically yes, but this is clearly hopeless" and just made a dice roll for such interactions.

I also remember Andrew playing a game once in which he never moved off the original primitive governmental model, so in the 22nd century he was still operating a straight-up despotic monarchy. "Aw, are you folks unhappy? Why don't you take that up with MY LEGIONS."
