Which unit has the worst Attack to shield cost ratio. Ex: Sword Attack 3, Shields 30 is 1:10.

Carrier is correct.

OK my first quiz question for you guys (hope it's not to easy/ has not been asked before...):
What is the largest possible number of science beakers that could be produced by a single city in civIII? edit: It has no special terrain resources, e.g. gold, diamonds, whales, etc.

Well, I might not be exactly right, but I think that you should be able to get in excess of 500 beakers, in a perfect city!
1. Commercial
2. Rivers
3. Roads + Rails
4. Irrigation
5. All science improvements
6. Newton's, Copernicus, and SETI
7. Metropolis with large pop (30-40)
8. Golden Age
9. Scientists for extra citizens
I don't think I missed anything, but here's my screenshot of my research!
All those beakers!!!

I believe with a little tweaking you could get more. Change all terrain to Flood Plain, then use the extra citizens as Scientists and be in a Republic/Demoracy.
I realise you can't have Colossus with SETI and Research Lab so I scrapped that idea.

I'll try that in a minute, but here is one that I did a little better on 
Edit: I did with with Floodplains + wheat, and it was In the 500's IIRC. Not as good as below. I managed to get 3 more btw (847), by adding a settler instead of a worker just before it began to starve.
I'm about 70% sure that's as good as it'll get
EDIT2:
I didn't even read the question, I just read James' post, and assumed y'all were trying to get the most beakers. Again,
Thought it was kinda odd that there were no resources...

Whoa! That's a lotta beakers! However, I did say that there couldn't be special terrain resources (i.e. diamonds)... I was thinking of a commercial metropolis on a 1 tile island with all coastal tiles and the following wonders and improvements:
hospital
harbor
commercial dock
library
university
research lab
Copernicus's Observatory
Newton's U.
SETI
but w/ C3C giving scientists 3 beakers/turn, I think you are probably right about the floodplains giving you enough food and pop to use the 22 citizen scientists! Nice screenshot, GB- feel free to take the next question.

Lord Jimbob, this test is on vanilla civ (people should read the rules...) so you cannot have a commercial dock and the 3 beakers/turn doesn't count.
Lord Jimbob
Lord of the flies
You're right morm- I've been looking at PTW- I should pay attention to my own rules!the mormegil said:
I'll fiddle around w/the editor when I get off of work and see how the land-locked vs. island scenario plays out in vanilla CivIII.edit: The one-tile island setup doesn't look so good without the benefit of commercial docks... The only way to get a comparable boost is to have a river at each of the 20 tiles in the city radius (virtually impossible in a 'real' game), and as Gainy showed, a floodplain at every tile (certainly impossible!). But, minus the gems and 2 extra C3C beakers per scientist, and plus a glden age and the extra 9 scientists I managed to fit into my city, the best answer=~489. Good enough, Gainy, go ahead!

24 hour time limit's up. the quiz seems to have lapsed over the weekend- maybe everyone's glued to the GOTM page anticipating the imminent arrival of GOTM32? here's a much simpler question: given a stock 540 turn game, in what year will you be exactly half way finished (i.e. at turn 270 w/270 to go)?
