1.22 forbidden palace doesnot work?

[paladin_yang]

I feel it has no use, right?

It still reduces corruption, just not as muich as it did in PTW.

It reduces rank corruption for cities around it, but not distance corruption from the (real) capital IIRC.

The Forbidden Palace is not as good as it used to be but it's still worth building. It lends itself more now to the "dumb-bell" shape of empire, where you have 2 cores pretty close to each other. If you try to build your second core too far away the cities will only experience a moderate drop in corruption. Try combining the FP with courthouses and police stations to increase the effect and you can still come up with a second set of highly productive cities.

Tell me about the best distance between capital and second core.
I usually adopt tiny map, sigh, my poor computer.

simply place the FP in a place where corruption is around 50%. This gives you the best results.

As you already experienced, it creates no 2nd core anymore and it will not work at all in corrupt hellholes far away from your capital.

This was the case in 1.15b too, I guess you did not apply the beta patch before 1.22

I upgrade my Civ3 from 1.00 to 1.22.

Great - another upgrade from PTW?

It depends where you build it. If you build it close enough to your Palace (like the AI does) it reduces corruption more than in PTW, due to the boost in OCN.

It's actually the other way around. It reduces distance corruption but does not provide a new set of ranks. It does reduce rank corruption for all your cities, not only the ones around it.

The C3C FP model is much better than the PTW FP model in my opinion, but I know others don't agree.
