Hello Ali, I got a question about this: AFAIK an overflow of the counter does not effect the discoveries - does it? For example: If I deliver too many vans and the red thing goes blue again and have science slider set to 0 and only one scientist this one scientist will trigger the next...

Hmmm, I thougt, you knew about tech cost calculating. Samson found out and explained quite nicely. As I suppose we are not allowed to post links to other homepages, I quote from the apolyton Homepage. This is, what Samson found out: The Key Civ discovery allowed me to run some controlled tests...

In my opinion, this should not be allowed, because to achieve 3 Future Techs is just about planning and calculating. There are loads of possibilities to calculate, how many beakers you need for the next tech (in this case, the next 3 techs). You just have to add all of your science and you will...

This is a very quick one. And I got 4 other civs - is that right. At the start, I got 3, but then London apeared on the map. Anyway. I set tax to maximum all game long. No science. Started building a frigate. Changed to monarchy in 1503. After frigate I build a worrior and headed to...

Hi charlie, there is no need to try on another version. It's right, you can't spend money this turn, but next turn you will have something about 32000 gold. I think it is some sort of bug, but the limit is round about 34000 gold - if you take a city you get all of the gold but it shows up as...

So, Ali - you created the game at least (you planned it quite a while ago, didn't you?) :) It will be interesting to see the results.

Uuups - thanks, Uruwashi. As I said, I just played for fun and didn't think it to be a very good result. Anyhow. It looks like, we are playing in a similar way. 1.) I hate loosing units as well ;) 2.) Of course I had all the wonders. 3.) I didn't play demo all the way through. I find it...

I played it just for fun and ended in 1361. After about 800 AD I had 1 to 2 adv. per turn (even without purple ;) ). I just figured out that playing Civ 2.42 is so much easier than the Gold Edition - so I learned something in the end :)

@ Peaster: Yes, I made it, although I made some minor and mayor mistakes. Thanks for your comments a little while ago. I learned a lot about conquest games, but I think in OCC some things are different, like the tech race. In the end I was very happy not to have given techs to the AI as some of...
