I noticed that on the frontpage it was said that settling great spies is better than building Scotland Yard. Not quite true, assuming we're talking about the capital. Don't forget the +4 from the palace! After settling your first great spy in the capital, you get more benefit from building Scotland Yard than settling a second (+16 vs. +12, in addition to getting +24 for each future settled great spy).

Oh, so that's Scotland Yard!! I always wondered how that modern building kept appearing in lesser advanced cities. I thought it was a bug.

Is this in LoR? Anyway, looks like Babylon was helped by ancient aliens! After all, what about that Baghdad battery? (anyone here know what I'm talking about?) That's how they powered Scotland Yard!

"After all, what about that Baghdad battery? (anyone here know what I'm talking about?)"

Actually it's not a battery. The fact that few people want to see a modern thing in an ancient thing just to write a book about it and earn some money do not mean that ancients actually knew what an electricity is and knew how to build and use batteries. The cases of Battery from Bagdhad or Dendera lightbulbs are hoaxes - totally ridiculous theories which can spread across internet very quickly and gain much popularity among teenagers who think something like this - "wow,it's so cool so it has to be true! I don't care about archeologists point of view, Daeniken said that archeologists are dumb and I believe him even when I do not have an idea about archeology". I am very interested in archeology and can assure you - there was no batteries, lightbulbs and other "super modern" things in ancient times

Vortilex

Well, it does produce an electrical current, but I think it was for electroplating, not for lightbulbs. My grandpa was the chairman of the Ancient Astronaut Society, and although I don't believe in ancient aliens, I admire his work in revealing to the public previously unknown sites, like Nasca, Machu Picchu (yes, it's a wonder now, but they both were pretty much unknown before) and in Tibet, and Central America, etc.

And I think that when someone thinks that it was a battery because it looks similar to a modern battery makes a huge mistake. Ancient Astronaut Society? I fight with such theories since 2006 and I am shocked in how ridiculous theories people can believe. I'm glad though that you do not believe in this crap.

bloodfin

Yeah I always do this too, makes me feel more advanced than my Civ really is lol.
Intimidating to the barbs.... that's what I pretend.

Musketeer935

I've found that when watching the Discovery Channel/History Channel, most archeologists are very skeptical, you're right. I mean, If it WAS a battery, why wouldn't any wires or anything that the battery powered be there? I mean, c'mon!

EDIT: I just noticed how the Scotland Yard is right beside Stonehenge. It mustve actually been a landing site for aliens, not a calender-type thing. Or maybe its a time machine lol.

Voyhkah

lol
Hmmm... Mabye someone should do an ancient Scotland Yard?

but... but... that can't be true... I saw on TV that the Egyptians had airplanes, because they found a stone model that looked like an airplane, and when you added a rudder to the back, it's aerodynamics made it flyable. That's plenty of proof, regardless of what stupid "educated" people say.

Actually, I'm using LoR, which includes the bug mod, so yes, you're kind of right.
