Help with Acronyms please! :-)
I was reading some of the Civ3 advice written by Velociryx and others. However, I am new to this site, and I have found that many of these posts are riddled with acronyms that I'm sure are simple and obvious to all the regulars here, but they make no sense to me. Is there like an acronym dictionary or something?
Thanks

acronyms
Well, to be honest, ALL of them.
The only one I've figured out so far is that SMAC stands for Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.
Here's a quick list of a couple more that I've come across, but it is certainly not complete...
ISC
OCC
IIRC
GA
WLTPD
Thanks

Well I know some of them.
OCC - One City Civ...a strategy where you try to win the game with only one city.
WLTPD...We love the president day (WLTKD...we love the king day) At least I think this is what this is. Not sure about the others.

The last two:
IIRC - If I recall correctly
IFE - infinite forest exploitation, was an exploitation where you could plant forests and chop them down over and over in the same square with about 10 workers and get the shield value to super corrupt cities, they fixed it in the first patch though.
Anymore?
