Diplomat bribes

[Blazer6]

Why does bribing units give them a home city of the diplomat?
I am using Republic if it helps.

 

[lost_civantares]

I thought it gave you the closest city of yours, not the diplomat's home city.

I'll play it and find out.

As for an answer, I guess they made the game so that every unit would have a home city to play havoc upon.

 

[Blazer6]

The FAQ said bribed units would be owned by "none".

 

[perplex]

your wrong, i played last night and i bribed settlers and their home city was "None".

off topic: can i ask if diplomat "Inciting Revolt" means you take over city? i incited revolt last night with diplomat on a city for first time and i got the city. but i dont know if thats just because of a certain reason and might not always happen? i thought it would make them break out into civil disorder

 

[Blazer6]

I am not sure if it matters, but I am playing the SNES version. I didn't bribe settlers yet.

whats difference between "Incite Revolt" and "Subvert City" ?

 

[Blazer6]

Inciting revolts affect the leadership, while subvert means to ruin the "foundation" of a city.

that's right if your diplomat is far enough from ANY city of your diplomats civ/tribe.
i presume a distance of more than ~10 or 12 fields...?

could you or someone explain please? i dont understand. i know that inciting revolt definately lets you take over city right? does that mean if you subvert you dont declare war?

what's so good about "We Love the President" day ? how does it make your city grow better? more food?

 

[Blazer6]

The foundation could be the granary, library, marketplace, any building that occupies a city. You can't subvert cities if they belong to a peace treaty, a Republic or Democracy won't work since the Senate will never allow you.

The "Thanksgiving" gives my cities with a large number of blue citizens a population boost of one or two a turn regardless of the number of food needed to grow.
My cities have doubled in size in about six turns from frequent "Thanksgiving" celebrations. It can stop suddenly but return the next turn.

thanksgiving? you mean "we love the president" day ?

the acutlaly answer depends on how close the diploat is to any of your existing city.. if it is far rnoguh wawy from any of your cities, it will be supported by NONE

Different name, same effect.



Thanks for telling there is a distance requirement of buying units.

Depends on your type of government. Basically, it causes your citizens to work the city tiles as if you had the next advanced form of government: in Despotism, a WLTKD will get extra food on each tile; as if it were monarchy. In monarchy/communism, you get extra trade as if the city was part of a republic/democractic. In republic/democratic, the city will get an extra citizen every turn that it remains in WLTKD mode.

thanks, i played earlier and discovered.

a bit off-topic but i think i read a post on this forum saying you can build a road on the sea fish? sounds a bit weird, is it true?

Yep.
