Funny Screenshots: Part Deux

[ruff_hi]

ok - just thought we had a small BUG bug there.

part of the weirdness is becaues England is your vassal, so you get control of all English land that is in your cities' BFCs. I'm not sure why the Caraginian culture is so weird, though.

Yes, I attacked England and took London. Hannibal also attacked England and took Coventry. Victoria then capitulated to me. So I get the London fat cross even thoughmost of the tiles around London are majority English.

The wierdness is the Carthagian strip west of London. Those are also majority Enlgish but Hannibal has more than me on those tiles. Whatis wierd is that the two tiles above that Carthagian strip and the two tiles below are the same - majorityh English, but slightly more Carthagian than Mongolian. Why do I have those but not the two west of London?

A contributing factor might be that Hannibal did a culture bomb in Coventry. But that would still only be a wierdness caused by some code anomaly, not the logic I expect.

it doesn't look like he took a screenshot of his whole screen. if you look on the right, at the scoreboard, there are some icons from BUG that are only slightly visible

Correct. I chopped some of the screen shot off so the upload was smaller. THat picture shows all the important stuff.

To have control over a tile, you must have the most culture of any player that has at least one city whose culture covers it. If the owner determined here is a vassal of someone who has a city with a BFC covering the tile, that master gains control.

So the two tiles immediately west remain in Hannibal's hands because England does not have a city whose cultural borders extend over them. As soon as one of England's cities above or below expands once more, England will gain control of those two tiles, and they will pass on to you.

What mods are those screenshots from?

Richard Dawkins adopting Theocracy is pretty funny.

 

[uat2d]

Now, call me old-fashioned, but aren't dikes supposed to keep water out?

 

[uat2d]

Old-fashioned, dikes are meant to keep the water in to get those extra !

 

[Dragonxander PR]

About the image of the dike in the river's mouth, take a look to the elephant: that worker's gonna massacre it with his big ol' hammer!!

i'm stil struggleing on Emperor so i'm taking what i get

 

[EmperorFool]

Mmmm, +18 Levee . . . if the game takes that long.

 

[Grey Fox]

Hehe with US Towns and Levee that's gonna be 2+ hammers on every tile, except the farm

Thinking of the recent thread about BFC overlap, is this a perfect example of when to overlap the nearby cities so they can start growing the cottages, while the capital works the food and gold?

 

[Grey Fox]

Yeah I think it can probably be a good idea to put one city 3S, one 1N of the wine, and one on the SW-most hill. Or something like that, to work some cottages for the city.

"Whoa slow down there! Are you building a road or a farm!"

 

[pianoman1242]

i guess the economy was bad in rome back in 3070 B.C., just like in the U.S. today. The farm must have had to lay off some workers, so this worker has to both grow crops and build roads.
