I use to like it because, being color blind, I could more easily identify my cities.... LOL

But you always play blue. I thought colour blind people couldn't see blue. Or is that red and green?

Yes, it's called an homage.

And you worked in TV

Ah - caps lock for everything

War4ever · June 29, 2002, 13:15

caps locks just plain looks funny on the screen......but whatever, i guess it doesn't matter

It's bad enough when the aztec city names cover half the screen obscuring things. All Caps is worse. I actually didn't see a unit next to a city once when the name was covering most of the square.

thats what your city screen is for rookie

rah · July 1, 2002, 13:46

Won't show diplos, settlers or caravans, ROOKIE

War4ever · July 1, 2002, 13:56

then you should specify what unit you were talking about...not just state units and expect me to read between the lines

Nice try

is that the best you could come up with

at any right, i will agree the aztec city names are just plain annoying

finbar · July 1, 2002, 20:19

Particularly when you try to pronounce them.

Teotihuacan = Tay-o-too-a-can (or very similar).

Alexander's Horse · July 1, 2002, 20:31

Aztecs - Blech!

finbar · July 1, 2002, 20:44

Thank you, Phillip Ruddock.

Alexander's Horse · July 1, 2002, 20:52

I have to wear sun glasses when I'm playing a yellow civ.

Weird how deity can see blue - I can't.

finbar · July 1, 2002, 22:22

Yeah, I can't see the blue either. I choose yellow because it's the easiest to see. Well, I suppose white's probably easier, but it's so ... bland. In fact, white's not a colour at all, is it.

War4ever · July 2, 2002, 00:26

blue is easy to see as well......yellow is too bright

finbar · July 2, 2002, 01:08

Gee, you and Deity truly are simpatico.

Alexander's Horse · July 2, 2002, 01:56

A frightening thought

War4ever · July 2, 2002, 02:04

who Deity and i??

Hydey · July 2, 2002, 05:57

I am begining to think that I am the most normal person here and that is a mighty scarey thought.

I can see all the colors and read all the names but only finbar cares how they are spelled.

finbar · July 2, 2002, 06:47

Someone has to.

War4ever · July 2, 2002, 10:34

Finbar you should have been an elementry school teacher....or do you lack the patience

Hydey · July 2, 2002, 10:40

Australia has laws preventing his kind from teaching.

Yes!!!

War4ever · July 2, 2002, 20:14

you have so much for your aussie brothers tho

finbar · July 2, 2002, 21:12

Only because I've met in my own home - and supped with - two of them. Overlooking their manifest personal faults including appalling table manners, they're verging on decent people.

As to Hydey, whom none of us have met, he must remain a Ride-On of an entirely different engine capacity.

War4ever · July 2, 2002, 21:14

lol....Hydey seems like the normal one of the group.......and that is a stretch......

Were you the host for that meal..IIRC you made the dinner which was supposed to be quite tasty

Yes, I thought the subtle tastes of your creations were rather wasted on us

Though perfectly suited to the refined palates of our better halves

To pillage a cliche, don't judge a poster by his Avatar. That snap isn't Hydey. It's the guy who mows his lawns.

It was a jolly pleasant affair. Insalata Caprese followed by Chargrilled Baby Lamb Cutlets on Mixed Greens with Mini Roast Vegies followed by (from memory) Almond and Ricotta Cake with Vanilla Cream.

For the next one - which could be up to 8 people - I think I'll do Minestrone followed by Gourmet Bangers & Mash followed by Praline and Chocolate Cassata.

You're most welcome, War. I'm not sure what the air fare is between there and here.
