Apparently my building site is a white square

Hey,

Flood - major - non-tradeable:

If the primary victim has units on a flood plain, a maximum of 17 unit points are lost from the flood plain. Secondary victims on same flood plain lose 10 unit points. Cities on black city sites are safe. If not on any flood plains one coastal city is eliminated. Mitigated by Engineering.

Yeah so since apparently we're playing old school and there aren't enough civ advances for everyone (i.e. all the utility pumps in the state are sold out), I'm left with a small shop vac to try and get the water out (or at least down).

non-gamer speak: My basement has flooded. My understanding is that this house hasn't suffered from flooding in decades. So...hooray for me. Luckily we don't have too much down there and more of it is in plastic tubs/waterproof, but still. Not how I wanted to spend my day.

later
Tom

I'm in a similar (leaky) boat: half-an-inch of water in the basement, tiny shop vac all that's left at local hardware stores (and I don't have a sump pump; this house has never flooded before).

Good luck...
