What's the evidence showing that CS acquire techs based on the number of players that already researched them? Victoria's analysis showed that CSs actually produce science and decide what techs to research, which doesn't seem to be connected with what the players have.

While testing, I discovered something interesting. If you find a CS before you settled your first city, the free envoy doesn't give the free yield in the Capital.

I made a bit of code-diving myself, and it seems it confirms the theory that City States start with 5 tiles, not 6. This line is avaiable in the Civilizations file, in the game data: Starting tiles for cities = 5. The same line for a "full civ" has a 6. Also, notice the line where it says the...

Thanks, Victoria.

Thanks, Victoria. That's very useful info. To perhaps help in further investigations, I've seen a certain behaviour with City States regarding the number of envoys they have. It seems a CS expand its borders when a player invests 2 envoys on it. So, perhaps the technology boosts you discovered...

Is there any info regarding how City States acquire techs? Or the timings for City States to build districts?

Sorry for the necro, but I didn't want to start another thread. I tried testing this feature from the Street Carnival and I just couldn't replicate it. Was this removed? Or perhaps there's some trick to it that I'm not seeing.

Mamluks.

Perhaps C5 is Baibars, of the Mamluks.

Are you sure Kabul was at -0,75 before you opened patronage? Different City-State personalities have different decay rates. Sorry if that's obvious, but it's the only thing I think you can be missing.

Yeah, I think it says 1 hp due to old mechanics, what I'm interested to know is the 0 hp case (like when you bombarded the city with ranged attacks). Thanks a lot for the info!

Good thing about Khans is the mobility, in my opinion.

I'm asking regarding G&K, though I don't think BNW changed anything in that regard. The thread says that attacking a 1 HP city with a Unit will always result in the Unit capturing the City, even if there was a massive difference in the Unit/City strenght. Is that still true or was this...

I'm asking regarding G&K, though I don't think BNW changed anything in that regard. I've read in an old thread (likely one made near the release of the game) regarding Combat that attacking a 1 HP city with a Unit will always result in the Unit capturing the City, even if there was a massive...

Hammer pay-back is not a good way to analyse if Petra is worth or not here. You should compare the costs of getting the Wonder (rushing the tech and wonder, which means using early science and hammers) and its benefits (the improved tile yield) with the benefits you could get with the same costs...

Well, they can still give you an advantage on the field in their era with way less cost. But I admit I was thinking about MP - without having really tested it to see if they'd work, mind you, so it's pure theorycraft. I agree regarding cooked settings not being a way to evaluate a Civ's...

20 hammers per city is not a lot. You need 8 cities to just breakeven with the free monument hammers from Legalism. By the time you have 8 cities, 20 hammers is not a big bonus. The snowball effect of the monuments, for instance, will be way better. Is that true? :eek: Man, I didn't know...

Germany's Landsknecht is very powerful, costing half the hammers of the base unit, without any kind of drawback. The dutch are extremely powerful for fast finish games, providing you cook the settings enough. I don't agree with putting them on the same basket as India (worst Civ in the game by...

Well, you are only getting a 20 hammers discount on your UB, that's nothing to write home about (in my opinion) - liberty free worker gives you 70 hammers, so you'd need 4 cities to be on a profit when comparing both policies (and that's not counting the other benefits of that SP), while...

I like playing Civilization with the following settings: *Multiplayer *PBEM (not real time games; you can really plan your turns in PBEM) *4 to 6 players With these settings, I find Civ IV to be better than V (won't comment on SP experience, I seldom play it). Civ IV has more strategic...
