How'd I get coal? (CivIIIPTW)

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.civ3 (More info?)

Had researched steam power but had no coal. Found coal on another continent
mostly occupied by Mongols with whom I had an alliance.
Built a city on the coal and started to build a harbor BUT much
to my surprise I had the ability to build RR's and ironclad WITHOUT
completing the harbor. How'd dat happen?

Since you were at peace with the other civ, chances are you were using thier
harbor.

Which means that he will lose this ability if he ever goes to war with the
Mongols. Best complete that harbor anyway.

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that
English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words;
on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them
unconscious and riffle their pockets for new vocabulary. -- James D. Nicoll
