Civ Quiz I

[Joshua368]

Then replace them with Cataphract, and, uh... Samurai? Wheeeee...

I almost never pay attention to first strikes to be honest.

 

[Tatran]

Holkan, Horse archer, Knight, Conquistador, Camel archer, Oromo warrior,
War chariot, Cuirassier, Numidian cavalry

 

[r_rolo1]

Rats , I forgot the Oromo

 

[Tatran]

Next question :
Is there a unit with 100% withdraw chance? (including promotions + GG)

 

[ruff_hi]

yes. Did you want me to actually tell you what it was?

 

[r_rolo1]

Not in unmodded game. Max withdrawn is coded in XML to be 90% . If a promo can give a unit more than 90% withdrawn ability, it will simply not appear in the interface.

 

[ruff_hi]

oh, ok ... sub (50%) with flanking I (+10%), II (+20%) and Tactics (+30%) ... that is 110% chance of withdrawl - nice.

edit: duh - a trick question?

 

[Tatran]

I've tried to get 100% withdraw chance using a submarine + GG.
And I couldn't, so Rolo is right unless Ruff can prove otherwise.

 

[Tatran]

oh, ok ... sub (50%) with flanking I (+10%), II (+20%) and Tactics (+30%) ... that is 110% chance of withdrawl - nice.

edit: duh - a trick question?

, another reason why it isn't possible.

 

[r_rolo1]

Waiting for Ruff "proof"

And if you go WB you can get 160% withdraw

 

[r_rolo1]

Letting DanF ( a much more habilitaded person) to speak

GlobalDefines.xml has
<DefineName>MAX_WITHDRAWAL_PROBABILITY</DefineName>
<iDefineIntVal>90</iDefineIntVal>
so you can't give a unit a promotion which would push it over the 90% (Max is Sub with Flanking 1 + Tactics = 90%).
Still good enough for a lot of XP milk.

 

[r_rolo1]

Ok, here is the question:

What is the max output that a non-seafood water tile can have with no events?

P.S This has 2 answers, if you consider 1 gold = 1 hammer

 

[ruff_hi]

guess ... 2F, 5C, 3H

Spoiler :

golden age, dutch with dyke and moar, statue of something, financial

 

[r_rolo1]

statue of something = ?

And it is not right ( completely )

 

[Matthew5117]

No, 2F, 6C, 3H

What ruff_hi said except with a lighthouse and UU of the Portugal (Feitoria sp?)

Edit: Cross-posted, status of ? is the colossus.

 

[UWHabs]

3F, 3H, 6C (inland lake, dike, moai, colossus, lighthouse, financial, golden age)

*edit: unless if you count whales as non-seafood...

 

[Matthew5117]

No!!!!!!!!

 

[r_rolo1]

Whales are considered seafood

Can somebody tell me the 2 possibilities ( only options assumed are the ones stated in the question and BtS 3.17 ) ?

 

[ruff_hi]

hang on a minute ... I have the UB for holland in for the +1H while Matthew5117 has the UB for Portugal in for the +1C. You cannot have them both ...

so ... 2F, 5C, 3H
or ... 2F, 6C, 1H

 

[UWHabs]

Oh, I didn't know the feitoria added 1 coin per water square. Then it'd be 3/3/6 for the dutch or 3/2/7 for the Portugese (with a financial leader).

*edit: no, my math is wrong. That should be 3/3/5 and 3/2/6. F/H/C
