Yeah, I came across it while searching for explanations regarding production loss of on-hold items. And figured, what the heck, go ahead and start a new conversation from a 4-year-old one.

Well, you don't have to wait at all to build them right now. You can produce them in one turn; a nice combination of chop-rush & pop-rush gives you instant workers/settlers. If you use pop-rush the only thing you have to wait for is your population to grow enough to crack that whip, basically...

"hammer decay" seemed to be the trick, thanks. I found this: The modifier BUILDING_PRODUCTION_DECAY_TIME has a value of 50, probably meaning that building production starts decaying after 50 turns. The modifier BUILDING_PRODUCTION_DECAY_PERCENT has a value of 99, probably meaning that building...

An idea: settlers and workers are no longer built, but instead are grabbed from the food/population somehow, sort of like a pop-rush. Ie, you want to build a worker, subtract 60 breads from the stored food (including subtracting X number of population if needed); settler subtract 100 breads...

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried to search for "production rot turns" but wasn't able to find a specific number of turns. Also what constitutes the 10 (if that is the number) turns? For example: If I build settler 1 turn, switch to warrior for 5 turns, switch to settler 1 turn, switch to...

How long can you put an item you are building on hold before it starts to hemorrhage hammers? Is it a generic formula or is it specific to what you are building? Does it matter if chopped forests are part of the hammers? Does it make a difference if you keep switching back and forth? (Ex...

It will also help her build walls for you. :)

I call false advertising! :) The description is "+25% vs. Archery Units ". Sounds like a flat bonus to me. Thanks for the insider info though, and the link to the post. Got any posts for how first strikes work? I'm just putting this down on "paper" --Attacker 25 bonus, Defender 25 bonus A...

Hi. I play the GOTM's often, but only finish in time to submit a game occasionally. Thanks to all the staff here for all they do. Regarding Jags, here are a couple scenarios to think about (assumes 1 optimal promotion for each side for given situation, also assumes you start with Combat I and...
