This is one of my favourite features that I really miss from modern CIV games, building your palace. (it looks a bit rubbish currently, but it gets much better!)

Wow, I forgot about the copy protection mechanism! This ensured you'd really bought the game and not copied it by making you occasionally look things up in the manual (which was a small book 100s of pages long). Archive.org to the rescue! archive.org/details/civi...

So, given it's about 6 days to Civilization VII, I've decided to go back and work my way through the original games, starting with the first one I ever played, Civilization I. I remember my mother coming back from the US with a bunch of "Educational" games, and this one stuck!

Microsoft copilot is so bad. Can’t believe they still haven’t fixed this. It’s so certain it’s right as well!
Looking forward to seeing if their new “think deeper” option can work it out!

I’m now getting these kind of bots on a daily basis. Interestingly, this one was actually suspended almost as soon as I screenshotted it?
I’m wondering if there are some controls over the number of accounts you can follow in a certain time period would help identify these and get rid of them
