What is your beginning stratagy?
I have heard people say that the way you start the game is the way you finish the game. I also, have heard many strategiesin guides, but what about people who haven't writen guides? What are your strategies?
I usually shoot for an early religion followed by a beeline for literature and alphabet. Through trade and war, I get caught up with other techs. Beeline to scientific method for the GL and on to electricity, radio, and mass media for the wonders. This is usually followed by some backtracking to assembly line for the pentagon. The next steps are usually the same but not always. Medicine to rocketry for the spacerace victory and on to robotics for space elevator. I admit I am more of a builder than warmonger.

This is one of those unanswerable questions. If you play the same what every time, you will find yourself hosed when you try different civs, raise difficulty, or try multiplayer.
I usually play at Monarch. My strategy is determined by my civilization, map, and mood. If I am planning on early warmongering, I tech for the military resources, hook them up, build units, and go clobber someone. I then go into economic recovery mode with the help of whipped libraries and scientist specialists. If I am planning on early expansion, I focus on worker techs and those techs that unlock the better civics. I try to get out enough settlers to block off the AI from expanding into my area and build enough military to keep the AI at bay. If I am planning on wonder-hogging, I focus on worker and wonder-enabling techs and securing any wonder-boosting resources, then build build build while my satellite cities attempt to expand and build a few military units. I rarely have a victory condition in mind when I start the game. Often, your goal will only become clear midway through the game. It is true that some starts are better-suited for certain victories than other starts. |

My only real strategy is explore, explore, explore. Then I make most of the rest of my decisions based on the map and my neighbors. I can't make those decisions until I know what the conditions are.

The standard answer is that you should always play to the map. Fine, but I tend toward one of two extremes.
If I'm playing an industrious or philosophical civ and I have a good production capital and I have stone or marble nearby, it's gonna be a wonderspam game. 2 workers and then start chopping/mining. City #2 produces the necessary units to keep the game moving along and I won't settle a lot of cities. Priority goes to techs that get me wonders fastest. Otherwise default to warmonger mode. Tech BW for axes and slavery, then beeline math for cats and improved chopping. If nobody's around, you're in great shape to get currency/CoL and REX. |

The first thing I do is head for Archery so I am capable of defending my cities from Barbarian raids. Then I head for the Priesthood techonology so I can begin constructing the Oracle. I make sure I have Writing researched by the time I've completed the Oracle so I can get Code of Laws as my free tech. In almost all the games I play on Noble difficulty I'll discover Confucianism with this method.
I find it much less risky than competing to be the first to research Meditation/Polytheism/Monotheism, especially if you don't have Mysticism as a starting tech. |

i follow the dictate of Attacko's strategy guides. And disagree with the multiple

I usually build a few cities, and concentrate on vertical expansion until the mid Medieval era and then do a beeline for chemistry and steel. I then proceed in conquering two or three civs. Then beeline communism for state property to manage maintenance costs. After that I tech Astronomy and begin to colonize the new world while trading for techs with the remaining AIs. |

In as far my strategies can be given general definition at all: tech and expand toward a military advantage, then act on oppurtunities to attack. As a player I am strongly disinclined towards risking wonder construction or letting fellow players live as neighbors for the tech trading gains.

Grab lots of land through REXing or war. Hopefully don't get dominated by barbarians when I REX. Then become indecisive between developing my economy or killing people.

Based on the title, I'll discuss my opening game. I play marathon speed, monarch/empoeror level
1) Religion: If I start with mysticism AND can work two different tiles with at least 1 commerce I will attempt to found hinduism. Since Isabella starts with fishing and almost always tries for Buddism, meditation is a losing race. Otherwise I will not target religion 2) FOOD: Unless going for polytheism, I decide if I have enough food techs at teh moment. If I start with fishing and have seafood, I will not tech a food reseource. Ditto agriclutre if I have corn/wheat/rice. 3) Military: The sooner the better. Mining/BW usually although Animal Husbandry if there is livestock in the capital BFC. I also do not delay archery unless I get other military VERY early. 4) Trade/commerce: Wheel is most important followed by sailing and pottery. writing is up there and I generally do not over expand past 60% science slider until I have this teched. I will quickly evaluate my neighbors. If I can strike quickly at a neighbor and have horses or axes I will do it, even if it leads to isolation (alot of my recent RPCs went this route). THe best second city is an AI capital! Early builds I generally go either workboat or worker depending on starting techs and terrain. Occassionally I get no seafood or nothing for the worker to do, so I build a warrior or scout. I try to bring my capital population close to or at the happy cap before building settlers, then I will try an capture resources and cut off the AI. Sometimes I will REX, but not always. These are guidelines and I play it out based on the map, traits, and starting techs. I generally like to play a balanced play style favoring both the peaceful love one another approach and and the demon-eyed mass musrdering monster, with MOST games somewhere in the middle.

I chop my way to three cities with one worker each as quickly as possible, then one city does nothing but churn out military units while the other two do whatever it is they have the resources for. After that, it's all up to the map and the AIs as to how I proceed.
It doesn't always work though, sacrificing your home city's production to get those settlers and workers out can backfire sometimes. |

My starting strat is like this.
If I am not on the coast, I find the coast and move there. Then I build the GLH. Then I REX cities around the coast of my landmass. This doesnt always work, especially when I am on a Pangaea map with 3 civs blocking me every direction I look. In those situations, see Slobbsters post, the Bear speaks truth!

First I look around the starting location to see if there are any plains hills. If I find one I build the capital there, otherwise I settle in place.
Then I put my first citizen to work on a forest, preferably a plains and/or hill forest. Then I hold down Ctrl and click the Quechua icon. After I have 4 Quechuas, I kill my first neighbor. Then I make a stack of 6 Quechuas and kill my second neighbor. 8 Quechuas to kill my third neighbor. If there are still civs left on my continent I drown them in a flood of more Quechuas. Otherwise I build lots of cottages and win the space race.
. Cottages! . GP Bulb Techs . Vaporize Stupid People Build at least 6 cities . Press Ctrl R to turn on resource bubbles . Build 1.5 workers per city . Check F9 Demographics often . Stay near the top in soldiers . Rush Buying Formula |

I base my game plan off of the map. If I can eliminate a few civs quickly, I go for it with warriors or an early axe rush.
Tech wise, it really depends who I start with. Do I need to research a religon, no. I can always let a nearby civ do the work for me and capture the holy city. Now i have a religion. I almost always go for the techs that lead me to the great wall and orcale. The GW to keep the barbs at bay, and the early GS, who is great for exploring rivials. Never gets caught. Nice little feature. |

In March 2008, Carleton University student Nadia Kajouji committed suicide, drowning herself in the Rideau River. When Ottawa police searched her laptop, they discovered conversations she had online with a man named William Melchert-Dinkel, a 47-year-old male nurse living outside of Minneapolis, Minn. Police say that he used an Internet chat room to encourage Kajouji to kill herself—furthermore, according to transcripts of their chats, he even suggested that she hang herself (instead of drowning) so he could watch.
Melchert-Dinkel has not been charged for his alleged role in Kajouji's death. But the incident motivated Kitchener-Conestoga MP Harold Albrecht to introduce a private member's motion seeking to clarify the Criminal Code, by specifying the role of the Internet in the existing provision that makes it illegal to "counsel a person to commit suicide" or to aid or abet them in doing so, whether or not they are successful. Albrecht told Maclean's, "By clarifying this loophole, this takes current technology and places it within the law so that there's no question for law enforcement officials." The motion passed unanimously in the House on Nov. 18.
The Ottawa Citizen reported that shortly after being questioned by Minnesota police, Melchert-Dinkel checked himself into a Minnesota hospital. He confessed that he was addicted to Internet chat rooms and felt guilty "because of past and present advice to those on the Internet of how to end their lives," according to hospital notes that were quoted by the Minnesota Board of Nursing in their decision to revoke his nursing licence this summer. In October, Melchert-Dinkel told the Associated Press that "nothing is going to come" of the allegations pertaining to Kajouji and eight other cases he has been linked to. "I've moved on with my life, and that's it," he said.
Harold Albrecht and his fellow MPs hope that's not the end of the story.

All versions of ssh prior to 188.8.131.52 had a security flaw which allowed local users to get access to the secret host key. This is fixed in 1.2.13 and later.
If you run ssh 1.2.13 on Alpha OSF 1.3 or SCO in C2 security mode,
local users can gain root access. This is fixed by applying
or by upgrading to 1.2.14 or later.
Versions of ssh prior to 1.2.17 had problems with authentication agent handling on some machines. There is a chance (a race condition) that a malicious user could steal another user's credentials. This should be fixed in 1.2.17.
The arcfour cipher is used in a way which makes it susceptible in version 1 of the ssh protocol. Therefore, its use has been disabled in 1.2.18 and later.
As with every piece of freely available software, this is difficult to find out. The best current estimates are that at least 1000 insitutions in 40 countries use it. This estimate is based on
The protocols ssh uses are freely available. There are no restrictions if anybody wants to write a version that is available under different conditions and is interoperable with existing ssh installations.
Ssh is also on the Internet Standards Track. This means that a second, independent implementation is required.
You will have to be aware of patent (RSA, IDEA) and export control issues before writing a second implementation.
Most of the credit, of course, goes to Tatu Ylönen for writing ssh and making it available to the public. I have also used parts of his text from the documentation accompanying the ssh source distribution. Thanks also for his corrections for this FAQ.
Also of invaluable help were corrections and additions from members of the ssh mailing list and the Usenet newsgroups, by Mark Martinec, Pedro Melo, Michael Soukas, Adrian Colley, Kenneth J. Hendrickson, Adam Hammer, Olaf Titz, David Mazieres, Axel Boldt and Wayne Schroeder.

Cow's milk, egg, and peanut allergies are among the most prevalent food allergies reported in infants and children while crustacean shellfish, peanut, tree nut, and fish allergies are commonly reported in adults.
The perceived prevalence of food allergy reported by American consumers is often higher than the actual prevalence since many consumers do not differentiate IgE-mediated food allergy from other food sensitivity reactions or foodborne illnesses.
An interactive consumer survey reported that in 2007, 1 in 5 American households believe that at least one individual in the family had a food allergy. IgE-mediated food allergies affect an estimated 6 - 8% of infants and children and 2.0 – 3.0% of adults in the United States. The overall prevalence of food allergy in the U.S. is estimated to affect 3.5 – 4.0% of the population. These estimates are based primarily upon published telephone surveys conducted by the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxix Network (now Food Allergy & Education;(FARE) and the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York.
Infants and young children are more likely to develop IgE-mediated food allergies than are older children and adults. However, many of the affected young children will outgrow their food allergies in early childhood within a few months to several years after the onset of the food allergy. Some estimates suggest that 80-90% of food-allergic children are able to tolerate the offending food by 3 years of age.
Allergies to some commonly allergenic foods are more likely to be outgrown than are allergies to other foods. For example, milk, egg, soybean and wheat allergies appear to be commonly outgrown. In contrast, peanut allergy appears to be much more persistent with only about 20% of peanut-allergic children outgrowing peanut allergy by adulthood. The mechanisms involved in the loss of sensitivity to specific foods are not precisely known, but the development of immunological tolerance is definitely involved.
Cow's milk, egg, and peanut allergies are among the most prevalent food allergies reported in infants and children while crustacean shellfish, peanut, tree nut, and fish allergies are commonly reported in adults (Table 1). Tolerance to food allergens such as cow's milk and egg in many infants is achieved by the age of 5.
However, peanut, fish, and tree nut allergies tend to persist into adulthood with very few infants gaining tolerance to these allergens.
Table 1. Prevalence of Food Allergies in the United States | ||
Food | Children | Adults |
Milk | 2.5% | 0.3% |
Egg | 1.3% | 0.2% |
Peanut | 0.8% | 0.6% |
Tree Nuts | 0.2% | 0.5% |
Fish | 0.1% | 0.4% |
Crustacean Shellfish | 0.1% | 2.0% |
Overall Prevalence | 6.0% | 3.7% |

Flyers trade Danny Syvret to New York Rangers for Kris Newbury
The Flyers traded defenseman Danny Syvret to the New York Rangers in exchange for forward Kris Newbury, according to the team.
Last season, the 5-foot-11, 203-pound Syvret played 76 games for the Adirondack Phantoms, the Flyers' AHL affiliate, scoring six goals and recording 34 assists. He had a minus-six rating for the season.
Syvret last played in the NHL in 2010-11, where he appeared in four games with the Flyers.
Newbury, a 5-foot-11, 205-pound enforcer, knows his way to the penalty box.
Last season, the 31-year-old Newbury appeared in six games with the Rangers, notching an assist and nine penalty minutes. He also played 70 games with the Rangers' AHL affiliate Connecticut Whale, where he scored 20 goals, earned 42 assists and totaled 127 penalty minutes.
In his entire NHL career, Newbury has four goals, five assists and 132 penalty minutes in 72 games over seven seasons.
Newbury was originally a fifth round selection, 139th overall, of the San Jose Sharks in the 2002 NHL Draft.

The morning was a quiet one, the forest only beginning to awake.
The sun crept lazily over the horizon, splashing the world in radiant
hues of red and yellow. Riane shut the door to her grandmothers cabin,
so as not to disturb its sleeping inhabitant. She was becoming quite
good at keeping the door from squeaking whenever she opened it. Taking
in a deep breath of the crisp, August air, she made her way along the
path to the forest.
Everything was still. The only sound to be heard were her
footfalls as they hit the leaf-littered earth. Once in awhile, a bird
could be heard overhead, but it never lasted longer than a few seconds.
The birds didnt seem to be in a very talkative mood this morning.
Still, Riane enjoyed the quiet. It never lasted long, not in this
place. The forest was her safe haven, a place she could go and feel right
at home. She was becoming very skilled at covering her tracks. She would
go deep into the woods where others couldnt follow, not that anyone ever
As Riane went deeper into the canopy of trees, the creatures of
the forest began to arouse. Noisy birds twittered above. The smaller
creatures, like rabbits, scampered through the thick underbrush. A
nervous squirrel ran in front of Riane, only to dart into a nearby tree
when it spotted her. It chattered at her angrily from the safety of a
high branch. Riane merely smiled and continued on her way.
But as she walked, a feeling on unease began to trickle down her
spine. The air around her was no longer fresh and crisp, but had gone
stale and musty. Her mouth was dry, like she was eating cotton. A shiver
of fear ran through her as she put her back to the nearest tree. Someone
was watching her. She was no longer alone.
Whos there? she asked in a hoarse whisper. Her eyes darted
from one spot in the trees to another as she strained to hear any extra
movement. All was quiet and still.
Riane knew someone else was close by. She could feel it in the
back of her mind. The presence was so strong, it took all she had not to
bolt into the safety of the trees.
Okay, she thought. Just turn around slowly and go back to the
house. If its an animal, itll most likely just go away if I show Im
not afraid. But as Riane began to move towards the house, a black mass
made itself visible on the opposite side of the path. It was huge and
was standing upright, like a well-built human. It stopped a moment,
mirroring her stance perfectly. Then it moved behind her, out of her
Her escape route blocked, Rianes heart rate sped up. Now what?
She thought. She could always go straight and try to outrun it, but it
could easily overpower her. She knew that. But if the thing was human,
she could make a run for it into the trees and try to outwit it. With its
size, it couldnt easily pursue her through the thicker parts of the
Her mind made up, Riane took a deep breath and took off running.
Just as she expected, the thing followed behind. It was much faster than
she had anticipated, but that only made her run faster.
And yet her companion perused her with such ease. No matter what
Riane did, it would always be a few paces behind her. She could see it
sometimes in her peripheral vision, yet every time she turned, no one
was there.
Hurtling over a fallen tree, she skidded to a stop before the
river. Breathing hard, she looked back to see the mass far away, but
getting closer. Looking down at the river currents, she wondered if she
would be able to make it to the other side.
It was getting closer, she didnt have much time left. Either
she jumped and risked dying, or she didnt and possibly face something
far worse. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and jumped into the
The sharp, cold water washed over her, and the shock of it caused
her to gasp. Swallowing mouthfuls of water, she tried to kick off the
river floor to the surface. But the rocks were too slippery for her to
get a good foot hold. As more water entered her lungs, she began to panic.
I dont want to die! She thought despairingly as the current pulled
her along. She thrashed her arms around, trying to grab at something and
pull herself out. Feeling a thick root scratch against her right hand,
she gripped it and pulled her way onto the other bank.
Heaving up the water from her lungs, she crawled her way up the
riverbank to safety. When the coughing subsided she allowed her arms to
give way. She laid there on her stomach, trying to catching her breath.
She opened one eye to stare at the other side of the river where her
unwanted pursuer stood. Cloaked in shadow, he stared at her, and she
stared back at him. Rianes whole body was tense. Would it really risk
crossing the river just to get to her? What would be the point? Her
heart pounded nosily in her chest as she waited to see what it was going
to do. Her pursuer turned and began walking back into the forest. It was
giving up.
Riane was so relieved, she felt like crying. Letting her body
finally relax, she closed her eyes and let out the breath she hadnt
realized she was holding.
Splash! Her eyes snapped open. Lifting her head, she glanced to
the river anxiously. Her heart sped up when she spotted what she was
searching for. Her pursuer was in the water, and it was headed right
for her. Letting out a cry of distress, Riane scrambled back to her feet
and sprinted with new-found energy away from the river. It wasnt long
until she heard footsteps pounding behind her.
Leave me alone! she cried as she turned back to throw a rock
at it. She heard a grunt as the stone hit its mark. Not bothering to do
it again, she just focused on getting away. Soon the footsteps faded
away into nothing, and Riane no longer felt its presence near her.
Deciding it was safe enough to slow down, Riane leaned against a nearby
tree to catch her breath. Looking around her, she tried to see if
anything looked familiar to her.
Nothing did. She was deeper in the woods than she had ever been,
and now she was completely and utterly lost. Holding her head in her
hands, she let out a pitiful moan and slid onto the ground. How did this
happen? She had only wanted to go for a walk in the woods like she did
every morning. Why did today have to be different? Rubbing her wet eyes,
she sighed and got back to her feet. There was no use just sitting here
and feeling sorry for herself. That wouldnt help. Maybe if she kept
going, she could eventually find a road and get someone to take her back
to her house. That or a police station.
On weary feet she continued onward, hoping to find something
that could lead her back to civilization. Her walking led her to a
narrow path through the trees. A path meant that, possibly, there were
people close by. Feeling a swell of hope, Riane stepped confidently
onto the small, dirt road.
She walked for what seemed like hours, the forest becoming
denser. Had she made a wrong turn? No, the path was completely straight,
there was no way she could make a wrong turn.
The trees reached out for one another, blocking any clue that
the sun was beaming just above her head. Everything got darker,and
gloomier, and more forbidding. It seemed as though this small, forgotten
path was going to go on throughout eternity. Riane felt her hope seeping
away, until she saw the light breaking through the trees ahead of her awhile
It was so bright it was like a beacon, beckoning her to a
promised safety and dry clothing.
Unable to contain herself, Riane took off running towards the
light. She almost stumbled more than once on an upturned root or wayward
stone, but she didnt care. Her freedom from the horror that shrouded
her was only a few steps away. A small giggle of uncontained glee welled
up and bubbled over inside of her chest as she barreled her way through
the opening in the trees.
It was a clearing, and it was perfectly circular. In the
middle of the sea of deep green was a giant oak tree. As the wind swept
by, the grass bowed to it in awesome wonder, and the giant wriggled its
sage fingers in reply. Riane would have thought it all simply beautiful,
if she wasnt so disappointed. She let out a pitiful wail as tears stung
her eyes. Her hands were balled into fists, and she crushed them into
her eyes to stop the frustrating tears. Would this day ever end?
The only thing keeping Riane on her feet was the strange tug she
felt to go and sit under the oak. Every weary step caused the giant to
grow. Soon enough Riane found herself covered in its shadow as it loomed
over her in a protective way. Every branch, every crisp leaf seemed to
reach out to her as if for an embrace. Riane was mesmerized. She no
longer felt the weight of fatigue nagging at her limbs, but felt as
light as air. Her fear and desperateness was washed away by curiosity
and wonder. This tree was pure magic, and she wanted to touch it.
Fingers itching, she raised her palm to let it rest against the
rough bark of the tree. But as soon as her hand had made contact, the
bark underneath it began to glow and grow hot. Startled, Riane went to
pull her hand away but found she couldnt. It was if her hand had been
welded to the surface of the tree. It was if she had become the tree.
The sheer power of it was so raw, it caused her to gasp aloud in shock.
She could feel everything, the air curling around her fingers, the
scrape of a robins talons as it landed on one of the oaks many
branches above her. She could hear the river gushing from miles away as
a deer dipped its head into its shallows for a quick drink. The forest
around her seemed to come alive in vibrant shades and hues of color
shed never noticed before. It was as if her senses had been put into
hyper drive. And all of this happened in the spilt second before the
giant swallowed Riane whole in a vibrant light, leaving no trace of her
behind to be discovered

Strategy & Tips
The Wisdom of Vuldacon The Ninja
Consult the Civilopedia to gain needed game and unit information. *Try and build all Sewer Accesses before the end of day one. *Check Research each turn because that changes as your Faction develops and you will want to save supplies by adjusting the amount you need to spend to get a Tech. *IF you need more supplies you can set two or three buildings producing supplies. *Try to make your Faction Happy even if you need to set supplies for them because you will fair better in many ways. *Before the end of Turn One, negotiate with all other Human Factions and Get all of their Supplies (50) plus as much as they will pay you per turn to ally with them against the Zombies and right of passage and Mutual Protection. This will help you be able to set Research to gain Techs as fast as possible. *It is very helpful to get the Farmers in the War against the Zombies because the Zombies that are Fighting them, will not be after you. This also provides a way for you to gain the Wild Boar Inn. Note that the Zombies can Raze the Wild Boar Inn during the early game because the Booze Imports cannot be built until there is a fridge in the building that is needed to build Booze Imports. This Key Location will Greatly Help all Human Factions. *Everything you do in the first few turns will make all the difference in your game. *As you become aware of more things from playing this game, you will be better able to anticipate many things that you can prepare for from the start and with each turn in the game. *Give some thought to what you can do with different units and your particular strategies to play the game Your Way for more Fun. Giant Squids are not a big problem for the Authorities if you use "Search and Destroy" Tactics. This type thinking is what you need to do in this game to have an easier time and Win. Another example is using your skills as to when to have the Farmers ally with you against the Zombies and what Order you Research Techs. *Make each Turn count and you will be able to have more control and a Fun Game. When all becomes too easy later, play a higher level. *Build the Supply Drop Point, Pick up the stray Supply Drops and gain more supplies by trading with the other Human Factions. *It is better to save a Great Leader to Rush Build a Sewer Access in a building just after capturing it in order to be able to send Special Units to help. Machine Shops and Auto Defense Systems are the next most important improvements. *Use Bold Play and remember that each unit is stronger in a stack of many units, especially so when you achieve a stronger game position. In other words, overwhelm the Zombies with many units when you attack. *Aggressive play that bombards the Zombie buildings will prevent their growth and limit their unit numbers. The sooner, the better lol. *Select the "Best" buildings to capture that will help your Faction and or hurt the Zombies the most as you decide your game strategy...Read about Key Locations in the Civilopedia. *Block access to your buildings with fortified units. If the Zombies have any access at all they will go for your buildings. *Block the Streets with Visible Units if you do not want other Human Transports to drive through. *If you place invisible Land Mines on the streets, add a Visible unit with them to prevent Wars with the other Human Factions who may otherwise run into them with transports. *Guard workers with stronger units and remember that King Units are the last to fight. King Units are stated in the Civilopedia Unit entries in their "Bonuses". *Population and Building improvements increase the Defense of a building and the units inside are stronger so build improvements and increase your population. *Especially just after capturing a building with resistors, slide the supplies up, located on the top of Domestic Advisor Screen, as high as you can manage to make the Resistors content faster. *Offense is the Best Defense. *When out numbered, First shoot the strongest units as well those that can move more and have Blitz Attack. *Free Units such as Chainsaw Maniac, Strippers and Dockers can all be used to help guard/block access to your buildings. They are stronger in groups and fortified on Sky Scrapers where they will attack Zombies that try to pass them. *Try to Keep all Buildings that you capture for more supplies and stronger game position.

Many congratulations to both of you for finally getting it done. I've no doubt that this will become one of the most popular scenarios on the site: the amount of work that's gone into it means that it's not only original and distinctive but extremely well balanced and playable. Great work!

Thank You Plotinus...Your Units were Great Fun to work with when adding them to the Game and they Really make a profound difference to their key positions.
I would like to Thank everyone who has helped to complete this Scenario with various contributions as it was developed. Special Thanks goes to King Arthur for giving his time and effort in working with me on a constant basis this past Year as we developed this game. I especially want to Thank our Wives for putting up with our time consuming endeavor Very Special Thanks goes to Sid Meier's and Firixas for their Great CIV III/Conquest Games that made this Scenario Game possible. ...There will be an Update in the not too distant future to replace some of the Units with Units that are especially and specifically made for their positions to further improve the game. To name a few, The Monster Zombie, Flamin' Hero and Pyromaniac Units are planned for the Update. King Arthur and I Hope you will enjoy playing Escape From Zombie Island 2. This is the Corrected Game Civilopedia Text: Unzip it to the Text Folder located in Conquests\Scenarios\Escape From Zombie Island 2\Text Folder and overwrite the old file. http://forums.civfanatics.com/upload...ivilopedia.zip Here are Disorder and Civil Disorder Fires for the game.

Okay, continued my game as the survivors. So far, I've gotten 2 Sniper units (King Arthur and the Leader) and I've been picking off any zombies I can trying to get to the radio station to take down those Horrors. Great re-make guys, everything is perfect!

Woke during the night in an icy sweat of fear, as if the wolf had come in over the kitchen threshhold and was prowling around the half-stocked grocery cupboards. Una, my loved housemate, in severe pain and needing urgent knee surgery. Will there be enough money?
A strange bird crying hoarsely in the bushes at the side of the house, too dark to see what kind of bird or why it was hiding there in the plectranthus and abelia. Cries that carried me back to my childhood in the forest above the river where otters hunted all night and the fisheagles would call to one another as the sun went down. Lying there sleepless and berating myself.
But woke up clearheaded and with renewed purpose, the gratitude that carries a recovering alcoholic through from day to day. Called three friends and had two project offers, work for February. Some money will be coming in.
Reminding myself on a morning in a quiet dark house without electricity that alcoholism is a disease of loneliness, that drinking exacerbated my tendencies to isolate and withdraw from everyone. To rejoin the real world, I have to get out there. Nothing happens, if nothing happens. Nothing changes, unless I do something to change the pattern and break with the past. Getting out there is reconnecting with myself as well as others.

The History of Organ Construction
A particular emphasis of the exhibition is on the technical aspects of organ history. Technical developments are assigned to the different epochs in the history of music and culture, so that the intimate connection between technical and cultural innovation becomes clear.
But to explain the workings of the organ and its individual components, parts of the exhibition are dedicated to fundamental technical questions: How is an organ-pipe made? What determines its sound? What is "tracking"? And who actually makes a "wind-chest"? The Museum of Organ Construction answers these and many other fascinating questions by giving you the chance to see details of the organ, models of working parts or what happens in various workshops. Look over the pipe-maker's shoulder or help the organ-builder tune the pipes. You will be impressed by the complexity of organ construction!

The EU does not have a Delegation in Equatorial Guinea. The delegation in Libreville (Gabon) is accredited with the authorities there and monitors the situation. The local EU presidency rotates between EU countries represented in the country (same as before the Lisbon treaty).
Equatorial Guinea receives no funding from the 10th European Development Fund (EDF); its ratification of the EDF agreement was invalidated because it could not unreservedly accept Article 11 of the Cotonou Agreement on the International Criminal Court. Before the Cotonou Agreement was revised, it did receive funds from the 8th and 9th EDFs.
The EU does maintain a political dialogue with the national authorities. The most recent structured dialogue (based on Article 8 of the Cotonou Agreement) dates back to 2009. Human rights are among the issues raised as part of the dialogue.

WASHINGTON — Helping the government land the biggest fish has been paying off for the slightly smaller fry in the prosecution of high-profile corporate fraud by way of a yawning gap in their prison sentences.
Jeffrey Skilling, Enron Corp.'s former chief executive who became an embodiment of corporate corruption, was handed a 24-year-plus sentence on Monday. That was the toughest penalty by far in the catastrophic collapse of the energy giant. Skilling's one-time protege at the company, finance chief Andrew Fastow — architect of the complex web of off-the-books partnerships that hid some $1 billion in debt — received a six-year jail term in September after cooperating with the prosecutors and helping them secure Skilling's conviction.
The judge said Fastow deserved leniency because of his "exceptional" cooperation with the government.
"The lesson that comes out of the Enron sentences is that if ultimately you're facing criminal charges, it's fine to be high up in the company. Just don't be at the very top," said Robert Mintz, a former federal prosecutor who heads the white-collar defense practice at McCarter
English in Newark, N.J.
Prosecutors like to work from the bottom up, so for CEOs caught up in scandals, he said, "There's nowhere to turn in the event of an indictment."
Washed ashore by the wave of corporate scandals in recent years have been executive flippers who have cut deals, turning against and talking about their bosses who have taken their chances at trial. Chief executives are far more likely to go to trial, partly because of ego, the conviction they did nothing wrong, or because prosecutors are far less willing to cut a deal.
Another prominent pair, fallen WorldCom Inc. chief executive Bernard Ebbers and Scott Sullivan, the former chief financial officer, present a clear parallel. Ebbers got a 25-year sentence for orchestrating the audacious $11 billion accounting fraud that toppled the company he built from a tiny long-distance phone company into an industry titan. Sullivan, who admitted to providing investors unduly optimistic financial reports and agreed to testify against Ebbers, got five years.
It hasn't always worked out that way, though. A stunning exception came in June 2005, when Richard Scrushy, the flamboyant founder and former chief executive of HealthSouth Corp., was acquitted of all charges _ after five of his former CFOs took the stand and implicated him. It was a stinging setback for the Justice Department prosecutors, whose case against Scrushy had widely been considered among the strongest in the pack of indictments arising from the 2002 corporate scandals.
Scrushy faced what amounted to a life sentence and could have been ordered to forfeit some $278 million in assets if convicted. Seven other HealthSouth defendants _ including four of the former finance chiefs _ got prison terms.
What lessons executives take from the last round of corporate scandals may soon come into view as prosecutors sort out the financial scandal du jour: the suspicious timing of stock options grants to executives at companies around the nation. The former finance chief of Comverse Technology Inc. pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiring with ex-chief executive Jacob "Kobi" Alexander to backdate stock options and falsify financial statements of the voicemail software maker to pocket millions of dollars and conceal the fraud from shareholders.
David Kreinberg agreed to cooperate in the case against Alexander, who has been the target of an international manhunt. After allegedly transferring $57 million overseas, Alexander was located last month in Namibia in southwest Africa, where he was briefly detained before being freed on bail pending a ruling on an extradition request by U.S. authorities.
Kreinberg faces up to 15 years in prison and could be ordered to pay tens of millions of dollars in restitution. It was not clear what penalties could be imposed on Alexander if he were convicted, though he faces similar charges.
To date in the options granting scandal, at least 149 public companies have disclosed Justice Department, Securities and Exchange Commission or internal investigations of their option awards, according to an Associated Press review.
Rolling the dice on a trial can be risky for CEOs in cases where underlings have turned against them.
"There's no alibi defense" in white-collar cases, notes Peter Henning, a professor at Wayne State University Law School in Detroit. "They're cases about intent."
That means executive defendants can be convinced that they did nothing wrong _ potentially fueling a lack of contrition that can hurt them at trial. Company employees a few rungs down can provide some clues into what was in the CEO's mind, Henning said. And, without an alibi or DNA evidence as you would have in a trial of a violent crime, if jurors believe an executive is involved he may well be found guilty and sent to jail.
Besides the "cooperation discount" for executives who help the government convict a former colleague, there's also a "lack-of-contrition multiplier" that can increase a defendant's sentence, said Henning.
At his sentencing this week, Skilling stood before the judge and said that in terms of contrition and remorse, "... I can't imagine more remorse."
But he stuck to his story. He didn't commit fraud and conspiracy, he said, didn't use shady deals and accounting tricks that contributed to Enron's collapse into bankruptcy, and wasn't responsible for the loss of thousands of jobs, more than $60 billion in the value of Enron stock and over $2 billion in employee pension plans.
"I'm innocent of every one of these charges," Skilling declared.

Story: 10/10
The anime starts off really slowly and for me, and I found it a bit complicated to understand. However, all of it made sense as the story progress. What I thought should have been done is some flashbacks on what happened in the future rather than it being told as a dialogue. It got my head spinning most of the time but that's what I liked about this anime. Steins;Gate makes you think, it gives you hint, but it breaks your predictions. There's lots of plot twists that made the anime unpredictable which is why it's not like any other anime out there. read more
I found this review Helpful Not Helpful 1 of 1 episodes seen
I usually really hate watching OVAs because they are always not relevant to the story. But after watching the anime Steins;Gate from start to the end, I did felt that something else was missing or it lacked something. It was the romance between Okabe and Kurisu, I wanted more of the 'Mad Scientist's' craziness and my curiosity of who Daru marries. And so, this OVA gave me a clean finish to the anime. It was worth the watch.
I recommend people to watch this only after the anime or else, you won't enjoy it as much as I did.

Hoops, Hugs, and Hamburgers
Friends of Dante Anderson and Curtis Hampton Junior are now trying to heal and move on. But not by just sitting around feeling sad.
They were given a chance to grieve at an event put together by the Lincoln Estates Neighborhood Watch Committee. It was held Sunday at the Rotary Southeast Boys and Girls Club.
Grieving counselors were on hand to help with anyone who needed it. They say letting the kids come here and talk about what happened makes the grieving process easier.
There were get well soon cards for Reginald James and Octavius Miller, the other two teens who were in the accident but survived.
Counselors say during tragic times like these, it's best to let all your emotions out and express yourself. They want to remind everyone there's no quick way to grieve, it's a long personal process.

2013 Lincoln MKS Car Reviews, Ratings & Road Test |
The MKS is now offered with two different engines: a 3.7L V6, making 300 horsepower and 275 pound-feet, or a 3.5L turbocharged ?EcoBoost' V6 making 365 hp and 350 pound-feet. The base engine uses Ford's Ti-VCT variable cam timing system for smoothness and efficiency and Lincoln promises V8-caliber performance from the EcoBoost engine. All MKS models come with a 6-speed automatic transmission--now featuring a mode for full driver control--and while base V6 models can be had with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, all EcoBoost models have all-wheel drive.
The all-wheel-drive system is also fleet-footed. Lincoln claims that this computer-controlled system can send more torque to the rear wheels as needed, in as little as 16 milliseconds. Torque vectoring control also helps improve stability when accelerating through corners.
The new Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) system in the 2013 MKS helps provide a worthy compromise between the bouncy, cushy ride of traditional luxury cars and the often overly firm ride of true sport sedans. With real-time damping, the system can change its damping force 20 times per second to react to changes in the road surface, or things in particular, like potholes. Sport, Normal and Comfort modes let the driver dial up the desired responsiveness. With Lincoln Drive Control, the system adjusts the response of the power steering system, the firmness of the ride, throttle response, shift feel, and even the parameters of the electronic stability control system.
To match the added power and improved dynamics of the 2013 MKS, Lincoln has added a stronger braking system (4-wheel, vented) and a quicker-ratio steering system, including electric power assist.
On the outside, the 2013 MKS gets a new look that's more softened and elegant compared with last year's model; Lincoln says that every surface of the sheetmetal is new, and the new grille, hood and fenders go a long way to give it a wider, bolder look. In back there are new LED taillamps and the 19- and 20-inch wheel designs are new.
The MKS has a traditional luxury-car interior, but the instrument panel layout is now dominated by MyLincoln Touch, the screen-driven interface-controlled by touch, voice, or 5-way steering-wheel toggled-that serves as the central interface for entertainment, navigation, and climate controls. It controls either the base 210-watt audio system, with 10 speakers, or the premium THX II system, which adds HD Radio and has 16 speakers, including a subwoofer. Auxiliary and USB ports are included, as is satellite radio compatibility and SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link services add both live traffic functionality plus easily accessed information.
The MKS comes in a single trim, with virtually all the standard equipment you might expect to see in a luxury car, as well as some other extras like standard heated-and-cooled power front seats and adjustable pedals. Options include a multi-contour front seat system that aids adjustability, a heated steering wheel, and plush Bridge of Weir leather, which matches the kind you'd find in yachts or luxury jets. Interior trim materials include Prussian Burl Wood and Brown Swirl Walnut, in natural grain patterns.
Another new option is Active Park Assist, which will measure a parking space, then steer the MKS into the space, while the driver modulates the brakes and accelerator. A new Lane Keeping System and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) are also available, which together help keep the driver within the lane--with a warning chime and nudge of the steering wheel or, for BLIS, a warning lamp. Other active-safety features available in the MKS include a collision warning system, adaptive cruise control, auto high-beam headlamps and Ford's MyKey system, which lets parents or others to program restrictions for some drivers.
The Lincoln MKS has been extensively refreshed for 2013, with an updated exterior design, more engine power, improved fuel economy, a quieter interior, a new instrument panel and newly available accident avoidance systems. Additionally, the MKS gets much-improved ride-and-handling sophistication, thanks to a new Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) system and Lincoln Drive Control interface, with modes that let the driver fine-tune aspects like ride firmness, steering feel and throttle response.
The 2013 Lincoln MKS is a full-size luxury sedan that appeals to those who want an extremely well-equipped, comfort-oriented and technology-loaded sedan. Before its 2013 redesign it was already a formidable rival to the likes of the Volvo S80, Lexus ES 350 and Acura TL, but with its new continuously damping suspension and Drive Control interface--plus a host of active safety features--it sets its sights on the tech prowess of top German sport sedans...if not quite in all-out performance, in features and interior appointments.
Considering all the phenomenal tech features packed into the MKS, it is priced about $10k less than comparable German sport sedans, such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class or BMW 5-Series, when packed with some of those same items.
