Mini Map

Post by Welcome! »

I was looking at the screenshoots, and it seems that you have to discover the world à la Civilization (black areas) in the mini-map. Strange. :confused:

By the way, i like the look of the map a lot.

Perhaps it will be better in fact :)

What do you think the typical American (or European) of this period knew about Pacific Island ?

That really is sad and scary.

Its kind of ironic that most American students can't distinguish between Iraq and their elbow but that a few years later these same students can drop HE ordinance into an air shaft in the middle of Baghdad from ten thousand feet!!!

When are we going to realize the benefits to be had from a liberal arts education :)

Ahh Gus,

Didn't you read Doonesbury the other day? Although only 16% of the US population can find Iraq on the map, the ones that can are Marines...and a few squids to carry them there!

I hesitate to reaffirm this discussion, but when I was getting my MAT a few years back, I ran the computer lab for the School of Ed. I assisted an ACTUAL geography teacher in a local high school in some task (he was doing follow-on course work), and at one point he asked me, "Where's Moscow?" Yes, he meant Russia.

As we say in the Navy, that's a "no sh1tter."

That's when I started drinking heavily and building my bomb shelter in the mountains.

Yes, this material is covered at the University of Slobovia - try to find that place on a map. :D

Singbert, You live in Worcester? Man, I lived most of my life there, I'm in Florida now. How cold is it nowadays?
Still playing PacWar (but no so much anymore)...

Let's just say I'd rather be in Florida. We got about a foot of snow last night.

I cant imagine why someone would want to leave Worcester :)
