FfH trivia game thread

[Love]

it probably were. hmm...

crap, poop and . .. .. .. .

 

[Chip56]

I wonder if there were 3 spells in FfH I..

Yep...
One each for adepts, mages and archmages ( and then there were the summoners, but I want to know the sorcery spells).
You also were able to build archmages from scratch in the good old days.

 

[it-ogo]

Guess: Spring, Scorch, Fireball (assuming 1-st level spells to be of sourcery)

 

[Ekolite]

Scorch, fireball and meteor?

 

[zxcvbnm]

Almost. Haste for adepts, fireball for mages and meteor swarm for archmages. Also escape was available for arcane units.

 

[Chip56]

Your turn zxcvbnm.

 

[zxcvbnm]

Which is the least likely unit upgrade one will do if roleplaying in FfH? (non-grigori)

 

[Ur_Vile_Wedge]

There are a few good candidates.

I would put in my vote for the disciple of order that you got from researching Orders from heaven (Acolyte's I think they're called?) into an Eidolion.

 

[zxcvbnm]

A good one but not quite as unlikely as the one I'm looking for

 

[Chip56]

Radiant guard into vampire champion/lord?

 

[zxcvbnm]

Ummm... think about something strategically stupid too

Very stupid

 

[xienwolf]

Manes to anything. Imp (summoned) to Conjurer/Mage. Boar Rider to Chariot.... Those are the only ones I can think of that are strategically bad. But none seem horribly bad RolePlay wise...

Vampire to Paladin? Sect of Flies to Paladin?

 

[Chip56]

Crafting Govannon into a flesh golem?

 

[zxcvbnm]

Xienwolf is correct. Sect of Flies to Paladin would require Infernals with Order state religion, which is removed from their cities every turn.

 

[xienwolf]

Which Building (or Wonder) has the Civlopedia entry changed the least from Vanilla Civ?

 

[it-ogo]

There are many unchanged building history I think. Walls, Theatre, Shipyard... But even statistics, prereq etc...

Academy?

Edit: no, Great Scientist renamed to Great Sage

The Great Lighthouse? Pharos is mentioned.

 

[xienwolf]

Aiming for most total characters unchanged as thedeciding factor. The one I have in mind is rather lengthy & has some hefty detail.

 

[Wyrmhero]

Is it the description of a leader... I'm guessing Cassiel...

EDIT: Mis-read the question. Is it the Great Library?

 

[Ur_Vile_Wedge]

I think it would be the Palaces.

 

[xienwolf]

I'll go ahead and say that Ur-Vile is close enough. It is the Forbidden Palace/Great Palace.

This collection of imperial structures stands as a testament to architectural ingenuity and aesthetics. Ornamental gardens, terraces and fountains surround the magnificent structure. Although the correct title for the building is the Imperial Palace, it is more widely known as the "Forbidden" Palace because ordinary people are barred from entering its grounds. With a 160-foot moat and walls 30 feet tall, there is little chance that they will get inside unwanted. The Forbidden Palace is enormous; it occupies 170 acres and contains 8,706 rooms. An estimated eight to ten thousand people live inside the palace to serve the needs of the emperor.

A collection of imperial structures in Beijing, the Forbidden Palace stands as a testament to the Chinese architectural ingenuity and aesthetic. Ornamental gardens, terraces and fountains surround the magnificent structure, which became the capital of China in 1421. It was the residence of 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties until the last emperor abdicated in 1911.
