[bippukt]

How many Spearmen do you need to kill a Tank?
rolo: 0 - I take 2 ICBMs!

This is hilarious stuff. I salute you, DanF

@bippukt

I understood That is why I referenced a pirated version..... given that there was no reference to that 2 lines of code in the posted question ( they should be in a non-explicitaded class somewhere ). A computer, given the same intel, would answer the same way ( this refering to a certain CFC member that made the question we are talking about ), since you can definitely fogbust with units that fulfill the condition domainUnit != "land" . This is the stuff of what bugs are made of

@ Dan

Same "bug" again Need to refer a line that states that you can only use spears

About the latest quiz question... I don't know, atleast without going to read some code

 

[bippukt]

I got confused

The great computers/robots:

Programmer - Raise the left arm!

Robot - Your left or mine

About the quiz question ( after reading previous answers ):

1 to 4 HP with a 5HP/turn heal rate ( the enemy territory heal rate ) will need not 19 ( they would get from 96 to 99 HP ) but 20 turn of imobility to be fully healed.

So my answer is:

1/100 to 4/100 HP , no healing unit in plot or close enough to have effect, enemy territory, no march

20 turns of immobility

 

[Airefuego]

^^ then the correct answer is 4HP. (not 1-4 HP)

 

[r_rolo1]

Thanks for reminding me of the actual question, Airfuego

Revised answer:

4/100 HP, enemy territory, no healing from medic promos or woodsman III, no march

20 unmoved turns

 

[bippukt]

I would be too harsh on rolo if I didn't accept him as the winner this time. Besides, I am not a

The min heal rate is indeed 5 HP/turn with no medic/woodsman boost. This happens in the enemy territory. Of course, in 19 turns, the unit will heal = 19 * 5 = 95 HP. So, all units with HP less than or equal to 4 will take 20 turns to heal.

You are up, rolo. Finally

Now one for the history buffs ( since the last ones have been mostly about technical stuff and game quirks ):

There are are 2 pairs of Civ IV leaders that are close relatives ( they had a common ancestor in the previous 4 generations ) and that lived at the same time. Name them.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

My guess:

Vicky & Bizzy
Izzy & Lizzy

 

[Bob the Barbari]

Isabella and Joao
Catherine and Frederick

 

[r_rolo1]

I haven't found any common grandfather between Catherine and frederick ( there might be one.... ). Same for Biz and Victoria. If there vis , pls tell me

In fact the one I thought everyone would jump and say was not said so far

 

[alhimik]

Kublai and Genghis
EDIT: actually they probably didn't live at the same time, or Kublai might have been very young when Genghis died

 

[r_rolo1]

In fact Genghis was still alive when Kublai born ( 1215 ). Make it 3 pairs then

 

[Bob the Barbari]

I overdid: Catherine and Frederick had a common ancestor in 5th generation. You of course mean Julius Caesar and Octavian Augustus, Isabella and Joao and Genghis and Kublai.

 

[r_rolo1]

Bob, the floor is yours. Make the next one

 

[Bob the Barbari]

An easy one (as usual): name at least 10 leaders who weren't formally leaders of their nations (from Civ 4 leaders)

 

[Airefuego]

Good one. Genghis and Kublai Kahn, and Isabella I and Joao I.

Edit: d'oh too late, wrong question!!

 

[Matthew5117]

You spent 7 minutes trying to figure out those people?
I accuse someone of researching!

Anyways, for the answer, (as a disclaimer, I am guessing, let me repeat that, I am guessing, and don't laugh at me either):

Saladin, Charlemagne, Shaka, Ragnar, (ten seriously??), Gilagmesh, Sury, Willie, Hammurabi, Justinian and Brennus

 

[Bob the Barbari]

Wrong. (I am actually quite shocked by Hammurabi and Justinian - the most famous king of Babylon, and emperor of Byzantium respectively)

 

[bippukt]

This is a tough one IMO.

My guess would be:

1. Gandhi (didn't want to be the leader)
2. Brennus
3. Boudica
4. Shaka
5. Gilgamesh
6. Pacal
7. Willem van oranje
8. Pericles
9. Tokugawa (shogun, not emperor)
10. Sitting Bull
