Civ Quiz I

[ParadigmShifter]

Graph theory huh? Too loong since I did that but I think you need to find the number of edges in the complete graph of order 11 but then remove any edges where the vassal would be DoWing the master.

The number of edges in a complete graph of order 11 is 55 by the way.

Formula: n(n-1)/2

 

[Tatran]

No no ... no ... nono ... no
(Is this one easier? )

 

[JujuLautre]

Is this a civ quizz or a maths quizz?

 

[vladstrutzu]

30 ?!
3 masters, but only 2 sides via a defensive pact. the biggest number for 11 civs is 6*5 = 30 (considering only one civ declared war).

if all civs (3 masters) can declare war to each other then : 4*4+4*3+4*3 = 40

 

[Ai Shizuka]

11 civs, 3 masters.

Let's make:

- master A + 2 vassals
- master B + 3 vassals
- master C + 3 vassals

A declares war on B, so there are 3*4 warhorns (A + 2 vassals make different DoW on B and all his 3 vassals).

B has a def pact with C, or bribes him into the war, so C + 3 vassals declare on A + 2 vassals. So there are 4*3 more warhorns.

Total = 24 warhorns.


Not sure if it's different with different vassal combinations, so let's make:

- master A + 6 vassals
- master B + 1 vassal
- master C + 1 vassal

A + 6 declares war vs B+1 --> 7*2 warhorns.

B has def pact with C, so C+1 declares war vs A + 6 and there are 2*7 extra warhorns.

Ugh, now total is 28.

Now my brain is imploding and I'm not sure if a different vassal combination would net a higher total.
And, of course, I'm not sure about my math.


edit: I'm assuming the player is one of the 3 masters.

 

[Turquoiside]

Total civs: 11

Master A: 7 vassals. B and C: 1 vassal

8 people on a single Dow, 9 on an AP one.

 

[Ai Shizuka]

Those are 12 civs.
A. 1+7
B. 1+1
C. 1+1


AP scenario with 11 civs is 28 again, I think.

If B (1 vassal) and C (1 vassal) are brothers in faith and A (6 vassals) is a heaten, and they force a war with the AP, we have 28 warhorns.
2*7 + 2*7

 

[Tatran]

See picture. (Churchill is my vassal.)

Vladstrutzu gave the right answer, but the explaination is a bit weak.

Ai Shizuka was on the right track with his calculations.
There are 2 more possible outcomes besides 24 and 28, 18 and 30.

 

[Ai Shizuka]

Let's see if I understand what happened there.

- Charlie declares vs you (Qin) and your vassal Churchill.
- You have def pact with Fred, so he declares vs Charlie.
- Mansa, Hannibal and Nap are Fred's vassals, declaring vs Charlie as well.
- Sury, Pacal, Saladin and Zara are Charlie's vassals. They declare on you. Fred and vassals declare on them via defensive pact.

So:
- Charlie + 4
- Fred + 3
- You + 1

Charlie DoW you: 5*2 = 10 warhorns
Fred DoW Charlie: 4*5 = 20 warhorns

Oh well, didn't consider this combination.

 

[vladstrutzu]

hmm... so i guess i'm next..
well.. here it is:

What is the most common resource that doubles the speed of construction of a city improvement(not including wonders,national wonders or projects) , and what buildings does it affect?!

 

[Bob the Barbari]

Stone - walls/dun, castle/citadel, synagogue, cathedral.

 

[Matthew5117]

Vladstrutzu wasn't up... remember SciGuy001 wanted to ask a question in 24 hours?

Re: SciGuy001

9) If answer has been confirmed and the new questioner hasn't set a question in 72 hours, anyone can ask the new question.

 

[vladstrutzu]

Stone - walls/dun, castle/citadel, synagogue, cathedral.

Bob the Barbari is correct ! you're next..

 

[Matthew5117]

It's only been 1 day... we have 48 hours left!

 

[Sciguy001]

Bob the Barbari can go if he wants as i don't have that many good questions to ask.

 

[Bob the Barbari]

Nothing comes to my mind right now so anyone can go (or Sciguy001 can ask not good question). Btw - nice day from 5th to 8th February.

 

[Bowsling]

how about a civ history question.
What is the first city in the mayan civ IV city list that appears in the civ III mayan city list?
