I get very confused when people talk in abbreviations, and I don't know most of them.I already know OCC; One City Challenge. (Heck, twenty cities is a challenge for me still!) But what is ICS? If someone will send me a list of Abbreviationss and what they stand for, I promise that I will save them and hold onto them so I won't have to ask again. JimW |

Hi, you might want to check this thread from when I was little. ../../Forum3/HTML/000701.html?date=10:46
I hope that works, if not it lives in strategy and is called acronyms. You should find in about the last 45 days.
ICS is Infinite City Strategy/ Sleaze. |

AC = Alpha Centauri (in Civ II)
SS = Space Ship
HG = Hanging Gardens
GL = Great Library
GW = Great Wall
Col = Colossus
CO = Copernicus' Observatory
KRC = King Richard's Crusade
MPE = Marco Polo's Embassy
STWA = Sun Tzu's War Academy
ST = Shakespeare's Theatre, Sun Tzu
MC = Michelangelo's Chapel
ASTC = Adam Smith's Trading Company
DW = Darwin's Voyage
ET = Eiffel Tower
LW = Leonardo's Workshop
INC = Isaac Newton's College
WS = Women's Suffrage
SoL = Statue of Liberty
UN = United Nations
CfC = Cure for Cancer

I thought it best to answer a question from another thread here, digging this old thread up to add some more abbreviations. WLTxD - We Love The x Day.
SSC - Super Science City.
FW - Fantastic Worlds.
CiC - Conflicts in Civilization.

With the number of challenges being explored (see thread ../../Forum3/HTML/001266.html?date=02:29) there's bound to be more. One not listed here is:SOC: Space Odyssey Challenge. And watch out for
FOCC: my dubbing of Tom dM's tough Fundamentalist OCC (debut in OCC12). |
