    Nah. With binary, you can lose one hex digit AND the max year would be 2047 (11 bits year, 4 bits month, 5 bits day). What’s not to like about hex anyway?

        Yes, although isn’t that an urban legend? Pretty sure I read that it was.

            What I read was that it never happened in the old versions and it wasn’t a bug in civ5, in that, it was a nod to the legend. But apparently Sid Meier said it didn’t happen in the original games.
