LOL! That's what I though the first time I encountered the AG's in the game and then looked in the manual! I've got all these boats in my game carrying coal around?????? Where the hell is COAL modeled in the game? I've got colliers and no coal to haul!

Actually, it's a legal term of art from the 15th century. It describes a person who is making falsifications in conjunction with a primary fabricator. The term has since evolved into the present-day usage, "co-liar."

I agonized over this back in the UV days and pleaded that these craft be called "barges," but to no avail. Ah, but Lassie-faire.

Hey - if you use these to transport cattle, can you call them "border colliers?"
Put my faith in the people
And the people let me down.
So, I turned the other way,
And I carry on anyhow.
