Anyone ever entered a Golden Age in 2049?

[MMRegent]

I finished a civ recently in which I entered my golden age in 2049 after one of my F-15's prevailed in battle.

And no, I did not win the game. I lost histographically. I did have 9 space ship parts built, and no other civ had more than 5. I needed about a dozen more turns to get the tech and build the part. I could have used that Golden Age earlier!! Arrrrrgggghhhh.

 

[lbhhh]

That's a bad break. You'll get them next time.

yeah well at least u got a golden age,get this,I WONT!!!

i stoopidly picked the koreans to play with....

i dont know why i thought their hwacha UU had lethal bombardment...WRONG!!

they dont,they just have 12 bombardment instead of 8 for cannons... and since they cant kill crap=no golden age!!!!!!

AAAARRGGHH the koreans suck beyond belife(in civ3)


what an ass i am for not doing my homework before picking them

i have 120 hwachas,20 cavalery and maybe 20-25 musketmen/med. infantry...

 

[SesnOfWthr]

The h'wacha does have lethal land bombardment. It must, as every UU has to be able to trigger your GA. I have used the Koreans before and had no problem triggering my GA. Have you modded your game in some way?

 

[Gengis Khan]

What he said.

 

[Quasimodo]

Also, you don't have to trigger the GA with your UU. Remember, it's also possible to trigger the GA with wonder building. Although a little less likely to happen, it's possible.

 

[Jawz II]

it dose??

weeeheee,i guess i wont have to abondon that game then

weird,i bombarded the crap outta 2 citys,50 on each,maybe i killed some units without noticing

this kinda made me unsure about if they have lethal or not,i checked the civilopedia,nothing

check the intel part of this site,said nothing about that

i have PTW btw...

 

[Smellincoffee]

If you only have PTW, then they don't have that ability. It was added in C3C. The Internet, once built, will give you a golden age if you've never had one.

My last Korean game I got a GA from ToE, to my suprise.

Hwachas are a lousy UU, since a cav rush works much better than a 4-12 turn siege.

F-15's are lame, too. You must intercept to trigger GA, and wars seldom turn on the stats of your interceptors.

 

[Smellincoffee]

ToE is Scientific, so you must've had a commerical wonder built beforehand, like the Colossus or Smith's Trading Company.

 

[alamo]

Now that you mention it, I had captured the Colossus a few turns earlier - thanks Joan!

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

On the last turn. What a waste of a GA.

 

[Jawz II]

so i was right,they dont have the lethal bombardment?

then i say frag this game,im starting a new one,last turn i played,i attack a pikeman,redlined with my artillery,i hit them with my only army(knights) and i lose my army!!

im starting a new one!

 

[Ranos]

Oh no!! No GA!! Whatever shall we do?!? Come on. Is getting a GA so important that you would abandon a game that far into it? All a GA does is give you a nice boost to everything for 20 turns. Very nice, yes, but not imperitive to winning the game.

EDIT: As others have said, you can build or capture wonders to get a GA too.

 

[Jawz II]

no but the sucky sucky UU is reason enough u dildo

if u read everything here u would see my army is 80%hwachas
