That’s not the Kremlin, it is St. Basil’s Cathedral.

Typical liberal, focusing on the negative when there are all these good things in front of your eyes.

It’s not all good news. Based on the red #15 in the first pic, it seems the citizens of Baghdad are STARVING!

And Civ4 is wonderful except that they ruined artillery, thus inflicting a completely unrealistic, ahistoric level of fairness.

==”totally dead”? is there such a thing as half dead, or not totally dead? kinda like being half pregnant.==

Mostly dead = slightly alive

I think I’ll drag that dead horse over to Elm St. Shkenekdady is too hard to spell.

If the huts like those shown in the Bagdad photo were built in a major American city, how much do you think they’d sell for these days? I’d guess at least $150,000 for a one-hole shitter.

Heehee! Great post.

But seriously, get the Civ IV patch. Besides what people have mentioned, there are AMAZING player-designed MODS (Modifications) out there. They turn Civ IV into 10 different games.

Seriously, there’s one Mod, Fall FRom Heaven, that turns the entire game into a fantasy kingdom game. With centaur cavalry and plague-casting magic units, and werewolves that enslave enemies and … fuhgehddabouddit! It’s a whole different game, and this comes all comes from fans of the game!

Get Civ IV, the patch, and the Mods.

Oh, and let’s all keep sticking it to the BUSH TWO CREW, shall we?

He had fun fun fun ’till ’06 took his Congress away-ayyy.

Interesting that Kaloogian’s web site says: “We have corrected it with a photograph we took from Baghdad”. I guess Kaloogian’s aides aren’t English majors since one normally takes photos of somewhere rather than from somewhere. Unless they’re kleptomaniacs. My feeling, though, is that someone lent Kaloogian dot com the photo of Baghdad. It looks like something out of a tourist brochure from the 1980′s. That’s why they inadvertently wrote ‘from Baghdad’ rather than ‘of Baghdad’.
I reckon Kaloogian is a chiseller.

It looks pretty good now but it’s only a matter of time until Xerxes comes down hard on Iraq with a squadron of Immortals. Better send the spy to Persepolis…

Oh, wait, they get caught every time.

Clearly anybody that sees partisans is playing a pre-CivIII strategy game.
