Ancient Infantry Attack!

[Sarda]

Anyone else notice how broken the "You found ancient weapons to upgrade you unit" ruins are? 78 Turns into a marathon game Babylon declares war on me with a WW2 Infantry unit, needless to say that was a tad one sided, he later went on to pretty much wipe out the entire world with his unkillable super unit :O

I'm guessing that's a bug; I think it's only supposed to upgrade a unit one tech level.

can you post a screenshot or better a savegame with babylon having that?

The only one of those I saw gave me a spearman. If you got attacked by an infantry unit then something must be wrong with the game.

 

[Sarda]

No, in my current game its actually doing it to me, My warrior found a hut, became a spearman, found a hut became a pikeman, found a hut became a musketeer, in this game babylon has a rifleman running around, 1 sec lemme find it

I had a scout upgraded to an archer.

Wasn't too happy because some Barbs then beat the crap out of them.

It has been posted that Babylon may brake the game.

To be honest this seems to just be luck, this time (no babylon in game) I have the Infantry after getting lucky with ruins however I have seen another musketeer running around, I think i'm going to disable goodie huts for now, this is out of control.

I can't believe this has not been caught in closed beta testing.

 

[morss_4]

My guess is you're only supposed to be able to get that once per unit.

If not then that's pretty crazy design.

 

[wapamingo]

or maybe this is not a simulation of history BUT simulation of the future!!! Think about it

 

[Hemmels]

LOL. posting in epic.
Definately should be restricted to "once per unit". - Or slightly increase the strength, or add more ground units
But that sshot is pretty hilarious.

 

[Sarda]

Lol this kind of reminds me of Yor, Hunter from the Future. Cavemen with laser guns :O

 

[kornuletz]

Best bug ever

I had a scout upgraded to an archer.

I had this happen on the Demo. Interesting thing was, the Archer kept the scouts 'ignores terrain movement penalty' special ability, making it a cool scout archer.

I wonder if thats working as intended and if it would keep that ability through upgrades? And also if upgraded units keep the abilities of units they are made from?

 

[guczy]

If he keeps going with that unit he might end up with a GDR

@Sarda: same thing came to my mind

 

[sohvan]

I have seen pikemen and crossbowmen on separate occasions running around within 20-30 turns of the start. I think the better weapons event should be limited so it wouldn't give any technology beyond the classical era. If a unit that can't upgrade beyond what it is, it should give some bonus gold instead.

 

[generalwar]

Maybe you get GDR with all of those huts .

 

[Sarda]

If I could find the world builder i'd be willing to try giving a warrior like 30 goodie huts and seeing the result, maybe you could get a gdr lol
