CultureBombRadius question

[elistor]

Anyone know of a way to get the unit tag CultureBombRadius to affect only the tile the unit is on? The default is 0 (do nothing) and the great artists who's Culture Bomb hit's the tile they are on and any surrounding tiles are a 1. So far as I can tell the game won't accept an input of .5. Is there another input character for targeting the tile of origin? I have a feeling my answer is "you can't do that with XML" but it doesn't hurt to ask.

definition is:
<Column name="CultureBombRadius" type="integer" default="0"/>

Culture bomb must be done in your own territory. What effect would it have to culture bomb a tile you already own?

Funny you should mention this... I also found out the same thing today.

JeBuS27: I can't remember if you can use GAs just outside your borders. I thought you could be adjacent, too. Good question though...

Errr no it doesn't.

From the manual:
Culture Bomb: This order will consume the Great Person and make the tile this unit
is on, as well as all adjacent tiles, become part of your borders, even if they
belong to another player.
...
A Great Artist can “Culture Bomb” any tile inside or adjacent to your territory.
That tile and all six surrounding it immediately become your territory.

        A Great Artist can "Culture Bomb" any tile inside or adjacent to your territory. That tile and all six surrounding it immediately become your territory. A Culture Bomb will "flip" foreign territory to your territory, but it won't flip a foreign city (although the foreign city may suddenly find itself surrounded by your terrain). Flipping foreign terrain is not an automatic act of war, though some civilizations will no doubt find the act offensive. Note that another artist can flip the terrain back at a later point - there's no limit to the frequency or number of times that a tile can flip during a game.

EDIT: I just relized this might come across as rude or harsh, my appologies I'm posting from work and a bit rushed.

Hey, you learn something new every day!

Elistor beat me to it... I found the post that I remembered showed how you could use GA adjacent to your tiles... great if you buy a "finger" tile and then culture bomb the tiles around the tip of it.
