cutting forests

[Neomega]

you can cut forests with bronze working.

but it is a mystery to me what tech gets you the shield bonus.

Enlightenment?

Forest cutting is at mining, jungle cutting at bronze working.

Archery gives you a 50% increase on hammers.

Or is that not what you're after?

I'm just noticing, often when I cut down a forest, no shields go to the city. I'm guessing its a tech, because later in games, I do get shields for chopping.

I was pretty sure they do from the start. Maybe you're cutting from too far away?

No, I never cut outside the BFC.

Odd then, it should give them to you.

Attached screenshot was taken just, only techs I have are crafting, mining and ancient chants.

Did you check to see if you actually got the shields? I wasn't getting them, or maybe MP gives them the next turn?

I checked, they definitely applied.

I don't recall encountering any problems with chopping in MP either. They may be delayed though, I've not actually checked.

Are you by any chance chopping those forests that grow back after the tile is burned? I think they are called "young forests." I'm pretty sure they don't give you hammers after a chop but I wouldn't bet my life on it.

Shields...

Someone's been playing too much Civ II

They're hammers now

 

[Nor'easter]

Shields...

Someone's been playing too much Civ II

They're hammers now

Or too much Civ 3, where they were also called "shields."

 

[Seon]

I was wondering about what everyone meant by shields... I thought you meant fortifications

Just FYI, When you chop a forest down, it doesn't add those hammers to the current production, but instead gives you a one time hammer bonus for the turn.

To see the hammers being applied, mouse over the hammer icon after finishing the chop, and you'll see an entry for it there.

Strange, they were not being applied.

i guess maybe u got some other mod running along with ffh2, that doesn't allow production from forest chop, or something like that. and of course make sure u downloaded and installed the actual .exe file (the ffh2 mod=0.40 version for BTS) and downloaded and installed the most current patch (patch T)

if u are chopping NEW FORESTS (these appear after blaze has burnt them down, u should also be able to move onto them and they only use up 1 movement point), than u do NOT get production.

or maybe these are full forest tile tiles but u made them from bloom with priest of leaves, and these bloomed forest tiles do NOT give production (i think).

civ 1 used the term shields also

shields (civ 1-3 term) = production (civ4 term)

They weren't new forests, and I noticed twice, in games, I wasn't gettign the bonus. Perhaps I will save next time. Although it is hard to save before the chop bonus.

 

[hegemonkhan]

do u get the production from forests being chopped in BTS ??

if not that u must have some kind of mod that doesn't let u get prodution from forest chopping

or u changed the mechanics yourself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
just throwing this out here, jsut in case:

were u chopping a forest between 2 cities of yours? and u looked at 1 city but the production was given to the other city ?

Save the turn before a worker finishes chopping. If you didn't get the bonus, upload the save.

BTS? what's that?



(yes, when I played it long ago)

Chopping forests is working correctly for me (patch T):

- Current production total = 45.

- Expected production this turn = 83.

- Actual change in production = 128 - 45 = 83.
