Civ Quiz I

[Ramesses]

I don't know if I can answer again, but just ignore this if I can't.

1)
Buddhism
Hinduism
Judaism
Christianity
Taoism
Confucianism
Islam

2) Confucianism
3) Christianity
4) Hinduism
5) Buddhism

 

[BakingTheArt]

I've got the five point answer, easy. But I don't understand the rest of the questions - wouldn't they all be either Hinduism or Buddhism if you only used Great Whatevers bulbing?

 

[BakingTheArt]

Nevermind, got it:
GP: Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Confucianism, Islam, Taoism
Note: This was completely a guess. I'd assume Buddhism comes before Poly, you need Poly for Mono, and it'd seem like Theology has a higher religious value than CoL. As for Islam and Taoism, someone already tried that with those reversed.

GS: Buddhism

GA:Taoism

GM: Confucianism

GE: Christianity

Answer as many times as you wish - after all, I haven't said which is right and which is wrong

This time you get = ZERO points - OMG, what have I done?

You get = 2 points.

Something must be wrong...let me think it over to see if I got it right in the first place

 

[BakingTheArt]

Okay, replace the GP with Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Confucianism, Christianity, Islam, Taoism.

 

[bippukt]

. .. .. .. .! I have made my question ambiguous - again. What I am thinking is almost certainly not what you guys are thinking.

Please make the following modification - do NOT think of it as if you have an infinite supply of GPs. Just use the order of importance of the religious techs.

Example:

1. If, for a great prophet, the tech order preference were to be meditation, monotheism, polytheism, then the order for question 1 would be buddhism, judaism, hinduism, even though poly is a prereq for mono. I know it sounds absurd, but that's how I framed the question

Similarly, if Divine Rights had a higher priority than theology, Islam would come before christianity for my question.

BTW, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism is actually the correct order.

*hides his face with shame*

Okay, replace the GP with Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Confucianism, Christianity, Islam, Taoism.

Still 2 points.

 

[BakingTheArt]

Ah hah! I knew it. Buddism, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Confucianism, Taoism.

 

[Onionsoilder]

Ah hah! I knew it. Buddism, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Confucianism, Taoism.

Unless your playing with Choose Religions, it's impossible to get Islam before Christianity.

Next Guess:

1) Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam
2) Taoism
3) Judaism
4) Confucianism
5) Taoism

Getting closer - 4 points

 

[JujuLautre]

hem... I must say this was really confusing

Why don't you just ask "what is the order of the religious tech in the great prophet bulbing list" and "what is the first for merchant/artist/scientist/engineer" for example ?

Yes, I know

Must have used the net too much

 

[BakingTheArt]

Okay, I'll just disregard that question that keeps getting me.

GS: Taoism

GA: I'd have to assume Hinduism here, right?

GM: Confucianism

GE: I'd think it'd either be Confucianism or Judism, right? Let's go Confucianism.

And we have a winner - you get 8 points!

Taoism for GS was the easiest one. GA prefers the aesthetics/music line, which requires Polytheism. Perhaps that's why he prefers it over the other religious techs?

As for GM and GE, I doubt if anyone can do anything else about it except guessing.

BTW, the correct order of preference of the Great Prophet for the religious techs is:

Buddhism-Hinduism-Judaism-Christianity-Islam-Confucianism-Taoism.

So, go ahead BakingTheArt

 

[BakingTheArt]

Jeez, I guessed on two of them.

Anyway, there is only one regular building in the game that you cannot build, and must acquire through alternative means. What building is it?

Pretty damn easy, if I say so myself.

 

[r_rolo1]

Define "regular building"

 

[Ramesses]

The Palace?

 

[BakingTheArt]

Basically I meant non-world/national wonder.

Okay then, an Academy, acquired by using a Great Scientist.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Well anything that needs a great person or general to build, but there are alot of those (academy, scotland yard, military academy, holy shrine, corps HQ). You can build a palace once you have 4 cities on normal size.

 

[UWHabs]

But if there's only 1, wouldn't all of academy/military academy/scotland yard be in the same category? Not even counting stuff like corp HQ or religious shrines...
