When ships to sail the void between the stars have been built, there will step forth men to sail these ships.--Kepler
The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God--Johannes Kepler
and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.

Wow, second game in one and a half years? I think that is excessive. =] I was playing about a game a week on my Mac, but decided that was taking up valuable time that I should use studying and replaced OSX with Kubuntu. I am aware of Free-Civ, which I will probably play at some point when I can't take it anymore and need to conquer the world. My last game was at Warlord level (I almost always play at noble) because some co-workers were playing at that level and I had to show off my awesome skilz. (I hope this comes across as humor) Anyway, I totally dominated, eliminating 5 or 6 civs and terrorizing my opponents by massive nuclear retaliations if full tribute wasn't levied. (Note to self, never accept an emperor of the world job). Ending with a space victory in about 1940's.
I often ruminate on my evil tendencies while playing that game. I have only attempted diplomatic victories a few times and generally tend to attack with little provocation. (this might be a sign that I need help, because I would like to think of myself as one striving for world peace and an end to all war but put Civ in front of me and I turn into hitler).
You've hit upon a salient fact: that all humans inherit the sin nature--maybe we aren't greater sinners because we've not been given the opportunity.
I don't often play the game as it really pisses off my wife (please excuse the cruder language but it best describes her visceral hatred of someone enjoying themselves on the computer too much).
