What is "root beer"?
I hear it sometimes in american TV shows but I don't know what it is, some kind of carbonated drink, like fanta or such? What does it taste like?

[Fyron]

It is a soda (carbonated sugar water). Different brands of root beer taste different. Maybe Fanta is like root beer, not the other way around, as root beer has been around for a while. Surely there must be some American import store where you can get root beer.... I would recommend Mug brand root beer over all others, with A&W a bit behind it. Stuff like Barqs is just garbage and you should not bother drinking it.

Nope, no American import store that I know of.
120 K pop in my city so it's Swedens 5:th largest city, no small town, no indeed!!

So, different tastes, but is there some common thing for all root beers?
Do they taste like beer? Are they made with fruit flavour? or what?

I've never been able to figure out what RB flavor is modeled after except possibly an actual root. So, no help there. But it does taste good.

And now for something completely different: Back to Slick's original question.

By the time you have lvl 3 in facilities, you probably have lvl 2 or 3 in shipyards. Build your shipyard first!

Now, before you scream, "But that will cost me 5 *^%(#% turns!", let me point out the advantages. They are very simple: You can now build ships! You can build more units at one time! And do it right now! Your fleet gets decimated? You now have resources flowing out of your ears and 20 extra shipyards to use 'em up. Not to mention rebuilding your fleet in jig time.

But if nothing happens, you can merrily build your level 3 facilities in one turn. During the five turns of the shipyard build, your tech has improved too, so you will be building better ships if the disaster hits.

Nope, it has nothing to do with alcohol. Nope, not fruity. It is very hard to describe. Root beer tastes like... root beer. Nothing else tastes like it.
