A long time ago, I translated Civilization 1 to Brazilian Portuguese. Eventually (like, 15 years later?) I got to work for a guy that worked on CIV I, and he told me they just found my translation, fixed some stuff and put it up as the offi

That sounds veeeery far-fetched. How about societies where material resources aren't the main goal? How does that explain poor people having more babies? Is there any known correlation between "having more stuff" and reproduc
