I am playing a mafia game with a poster named topsecret, but I went 4 pages back and couldn't find any posts from him... So who are you talking to sam?
*Edit: Also, I am playing with you, lol

 

[SamSniped]

I was just looking in that thread, and at his mod. I meant j_mie

 

[j_mie6]

[SamSniped]

Search in the general discussion part for attacko. You will be entertained

EDIT: meant strategy and tips

EDITEDIT: Even better list

 

[j_mie6]

from my short search I guess it's a play style and I have done it in one of those 3 screenshots

1 Some history first :
In the 1850 Roosvelt declares me war , so , becuase i didn' t have a big military , i bribed Saladin for attack he first for softing the enemy lines , at the 1902 , when he has only that city on the island and Seattle, who was ready for culture-flipping , he signed peace traty and he got vassalized by Saladin , the funny part ? When he begins a vassal of Saladin , his Golden Age ended , after...(drum roll ) 12 TURNS OF UNSTOPPED SPLENDOR !
2 Ahem , dear advisor... FAR IN THE TUNDRA ?
3 No WB , it was fractal , rocky , hight sea level , so barbs , start in Middle Age ( i'm using past becuase i regenerate )

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

I don´t get the second Screenshot.

What the nothern tiles : they aren' t tundra , so isn' t FAR in the tudra

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

And where does it say it´s far in the tundra? Not everyone understands this failed abortion of the Lingua Latina that some people claim is a language.

 

[Gzz]

Ok , i will translate the event por se :
"Un frammento di una cometa è precipitato in una regione remota della tundra" = " a comet fragment has fallen in a far region of the tundra "

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Thank you, now I get it too.

I went into anarchy and suddenly some of my cities have negative turns until building completion:

Spoiler :

I love golden ages!

Spoiler :

I was fighting a grenadier with my redcoat and they ran past my redcoats and disappeared after getting a few tiles away.

Spoiler :

The AI evidently likes to build a lot of ships on archipelago maps . . .

[CocoIsKing28]

Negative building turns? How does that work?

 

[DroopyTofu]

The people are so angry they're destroying the half-way completed buildings?

 

[karadoc]

Negative building turns? How does that work?

I think I know how that happens. I can explain it, but it isn't funny - just technical. Here:

Spoiler :

Normally, the number of turns left is calculated as remaining / per-turn. However, if per-turn is zero then this calculation can't be used because it would produce a divide-by-zero error, so instead, the game simply reports remaining as the final answer. (It probably should say 'infinity' instead, but it doesn't.)

Anyway, in the case of the screenshot, my guess is that the building was whipped or chopped so that it had more than enough hammers to complete, but with the anarchy it can't completely anyway. So remaining is actually a negative, because the building already has more than enough, and so that negative number is what is being reported.

It would be easy to fix this, but I don't think it makes much difference... and pretty much everything else reported while in anarchy is wrong anyway.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Ah karadoc I always enjoy your expertise on these things, as I am interested in programming myself.

Thanks for the explanation, and dido what is said above ^^
