Accelerated production...

wvfoos · Sep 10, 2003, 01:32 PM

Does anyone play with it on?

Does the settler factory in bamspeedy's article assume you are using it????

joycem10 · Sep 10, 2003, 01:34 PM

the few multiplayer games ive attempted (and was able to start) I played with it on. it makes the game alot faster.

I don't think Bamspeedy needs AP to build a settler factory.

Gengis Khan · Sep 10, 2003, 02:00 PM

Bamspeedy's 4 turn settler factory is assuming its OFF.

I'm not a big fan, it unbalances the game too much & makes the pace too quick. Would be good in MP games though.

The settler factory he uses is without ap (accelerated production).

I found that AP is used a lot online and I personally used it for awhile but got sick of it quite soon. Back to regular ol' civ PTW.

Justin_Sane · Sep 10, 2003, 03:04 PM

I tried it in a few games, but never finished 'em. Not because of AP, but just because I was doing poorly. I'd like to try it again, though.

Just to remind some of you "newer folks"

AP was designed for MultiPlayer, to speed up the internet games.

(Doesn't mean you *can't* play SP with it.

)

For the record, I don't use it.

DS_Legionary · Sep 10, 2003, 03:16 PM

I don't use AP for two reasons. First and most important I don't own PTW so I can't use it even if I wanted to. Secondly having production halved would take out some of the challenge of it to me.

wvfoos · Sep 10, 2003, 04:26 PM

To play with AP. It's in vanilla civ3 too, iirc.

Norlamand · Sep 10, 2003, 06:14 PM

I always use it in MP, but never in SP. Didn't even see that it was an option.

carlosMM · Sep 10, 2003, 06:15 PM

Bamspeedy would NEVER use AP! It simply doesn't fit the concepts! For example, PTW cannot handle a proper rounding off for AP, screwing the time of producing a miltary unit vs. a settler vs. a building....

RegentMan · Sep 10, 2003, 06:15 PM

Only use it in multiplayer.

That's exactly the reason why I use it. I hate slow games.

Not as bad as before, but I used to play these freakin' huge maps, and was still doing that when AP came out. Now I either play DyP or PBEM, so AP is still desireable.

I can't see waiting for things. . . .

I've never tried it - but I only ever play SP games so there has never been any need for me to.
