I just wanted to say that I realize that I was dopey when I posted a thread that asked "legitimate strategy or cheating", referring to saving a game, choosing retire instead of quit, looking at the playback of the map to see where every civ was, then loading the game again.
OBVIOUSLY it is cheating...I must have had a brain fart when I thought to post that. (I gotta lay of the anchovy pizza before bedtime) heh
Apology accepted. In learning the system, it's not really such a bad idea. It does clutter your "Hall of Shame."
