Civilization V: Who/What Am I?

[sukritact]

I might as well try, The Long Count

 

[cpm4001]

Nope.
+1 = +2; +1 = +1

 

[Zaldrizes]

Banking?
And maybe a third clue after a couple guesses?

 

[cpm4001]

Not Banking, and yes, the third clue will come after a few more guesses (sorry that it's super-ultra-cryptic!)

It's actually an intriguing riddle, so no worries. I just hate being stumped!

 

[Hyperion529]

number of civs in the Americas?

 

[otaman1]

The DLC civs?

 

[cpm4001]

No and no. I'll go ahead and post the last clue now (it's a super bargain 'cause you get 2 things to work from in 1 handy clue!)
42: +1 = +1. 1: +1 = +1, +1.
If s = Standard, then x = 2 or 4

 

[Zaldrizes]

I'm too tired to work this out, but two of the clues total 43, which are the number of civs (I think). I just don't know what those modifiers pertain to. I was about to say a certain building, but I don't see what they'd have to do with a Standard map size conditional. I'm babbling now. I'll go with embarkation.

Trade route gold calculation?

 

[Gori the Grey]

Fog of war

 

[otaman1]

I hate math but I'll just guess Production

 

[vibe96]

i have no idea but i'm gonna say horses because they have a quantity of 2 or 4

 

[cpm4001]

Vibe96 is the closest. The correct answer was Horses improved with a Pasture
Here's the breakdown for clues:
#1: 41 = +2, 2 = +3 - This refers to the base production yield of the pasture. For 41 civs it's 2 production, but for Russia and the Huns it's 3.
#2: +1 = +2; +1 = +1 - This one refers to two things: the first refers to building a Circus in a city with a nearby improved source of Horses, which yields +2 Happiness, while the second part refers to the fact that the Fertilizer technology adds +1 food to Pastures.
#3: 42: +1 = +1. 1: +1 = +1, +1. - This refers to the fact that, for 42 Civs, building a Stable adds +1 Production to all pastures, but for one (Poland), the Ducal Stable yields +1 food and +1 Gold.
If s = Standard, then x = 2 or 4 - As vibe96 noted, this is simply the fact that if the resource setting is Standard, then the amount of Horses in a "deposit" is either 2 or 4.

So did Vibe96 get it?

 

[cpm4001]

Yes, Vibe96 gets the "victory" point (sorry if I didn't make that clear!)

 

[otaman1]

+1 vibe96

 

[vibe96]

So I'm gonna post my clue:

100
