Blitz allows a unit to attack once for every movement point that it has. So if your unit has three movement points then it can attack up to three times that turn. Without blitz it can only attack once and the remaining movement points can be only used to move it.

With Preserve Random Seed enabled when you save your game the current value of the random seed is saved. When ever the game needs a random number the current value of the seed is given to the Random Number Generator function, which returns both the random number and updates the seed value to a...

Of course that gear box is always the same and installed in the same chasis with the same engine. I also take it that you have never seen the list of issues that are posted by car manufactures, ie bugs. There are often hundreds of them and only if they are something major does a recall get...

Its the later, you can only get techs while you are in the ancient age.

Agree as well that this is the best solution. I also mentally make the assumption that the spearmen are no longer spearmen. And this will eliminate to a good deal the annoyances over those defeats. Of course there will still be some with really backward tech opponents, but that just indicates...

Nope once the unit is upgraded it can generate a new leader once it again reaches the elite status. I have tested this in vanilla civ. Also once the military great leader is used, you can generate a new great leader, even if it is the same turn.

I have put together a test scenario that shows that the bonuses do not stack. The changes made to the scenario rules was to allow me to build the two wonders off teh back and to give me great leaders to rush those wonders plus an iron clad to observe the effects. Building the great library...

I would suspect that the answer lies in the way turns are structured. The upkeap phase occurs for all players before any player's actions phases. So what may have happened is that you gave the city to the Ottomans. The Ottomans taking their turn after you proceeded to give the city to the...

I mentioned this in the patch thread, but now that the search page is back up I can finally quote the specific post. Some have postulated that civ3's RNG is flawed, however, the RNG has been tested and deemed acceptable. Therefore the same "streakyness" would exist even if hte RNG was replaced...

double post

The mathematics are valid and are not just projects but are what will happen if the change as described by goes into effect. There is no other way things can happen unless the change is changed or there is a bug in the change. And it is far better to argue about the change based on solid stats...

A poster a while backed hacked into the PRNG that is used by civ (vanilla civ before the final patch) and ran a standard statistical test suite on the PRNG. The PRNG used by the game passed the tests showing the proper behavoir. So unless the PRNG algorithim has changed in the patches or the...

Quite a few of the major posters on this board were apparantly beta testers. And these posters are not ones to try for a free ride. But with any beta test, there are so many things to test and try. And some of the bugs/exploits are not simple things to find without specificily going out to test...

For heavy bombers, stealth attack probably doesn't make much sense since they tend to be more of a carpet bombing type. But for fighter bombers, which will often be outfitted with smart weapons (given their small number of bombs they will carry), a stealth attack does make sense. Doing it this...

That is correct, units can only be upgraded in cities with barracks.
