Great link, thank you!  And that Unreal Tournament engine, were those
Python bindings native then (allusion to some earlier post)?

FPS = first person shooter.  SM's CivIV is TPB = third person builder
(all those little first persons running around tend to shoot a lot
though, especially after discovering gunpowder, woo hoo).

Or you could say TPB = FPG (first person god), and god *could* be a shooter.

But "god versus humans" in a killing capacity tends to be no fun.
They're so good at killing themselves as it is.  The challenge is
getting them to do anything constructive, hence the popularity of
TPBs.
