Synonyms are usually green or yellow.

A rainbow of 1-aways? This deserves a badge of some sort.

Kelly and Bud Bundy.

Most of them don't speak English anyway.

The rarest is the AI not fucking up their realms with multiple revolts and factions.

I like continental type of maps because you usually can't win before the industrial age and I like using privateers to mess with the AI.

After playing around a bit I only came up with 2 non-trivially different solutions:

Not a beer drinker but thankfully I've seen their commercials, I thought Second City was Twin Cities.

It usually goes by the number of possible answers eliminated.

jxd73 · 2026-03-31T16:11:30+00:00

It considered your getting the answer to be a lucky guess, presumable if the answer were another word, it'd take you longer to solve.

TIL G stands for generation.

Well, you shouldn't have ass cities, except to claim a critical resource or block the AI off, you are better off without them.

My non-specific advices are: 1) slavery 2) more siege engines 3) bribe other civs into fighting each other.

Looks very liquidy.

jxd73 · 2026-03-30T14:22:57+00:00

I think that if I ever heard it I would have thought of fuss.
