All it does is ensure you get every advance known by at least two other civilizations, so it's just a crutch for people who don't go after tech. The only reason I ever built it was to PREVENT anyone else from doing so. I always had the tech edge, so it couldn't give me anything, but it could give AWAY that edge if I let it.

He must be talking about a different plague, but I'm not sure which one, either. *NM* Legolas - 07/04/2010 01:37:32 AM 324 Views
Maybe; there were episodic plague epidemics before and after that time. Joel - 07/04/2010 02:05:18 AM 536 Views
