[The 777 Hoax]

I've never seen that!

 

[Theryman]

"how i mine fish?"

 

[MAS]

that wasn't marches before?

 

[Miles Teg]

If you have conquests then your workers probably cleared a marsh with fish, if not then something very strange is happening.

BTW. That map look vaguely similar to North America. And your on the east coast playing America.

 

[choxorn]

Yes, you can have fish in marshes. Clear the marsh, and the fish is on grassland (which is stupid- they should vanish).

Hmm. Maybe if you mined the square, mine would fill with water that had fish?

That would be logical, indeed, but in civ3 other than the random disappearance rate a resource cannot disappear. It would be interesting to have resources become "obsolete" and disappear, would open a lot of possibilities for mods.

makes sense, although i didn't know that marshes could even have fish, and yes, it was marshes. Although i would like to try the mine thing, i think that irrigating it would get quite a nice food bonus (at least for what i know)

 

[Desertsnow]

Yes, irrigating the tile with the fish does give a food bonus.

Yeah, i meant i wasn't sure if after, that the amount of food, can't remember if irrigations is +1 or +2, but anyway, i was pretty sure that the food bonus would be substancial.... that is all

 

[Sweetchuck]

yeah, I had a thread about that - asking if you clear a marsh tile with a fish in it, would you still get the bonus resource or would it disappear.

I was told yes - the fish stays, and I can state that this is accurate.

So, I cleared the marsh and mined the fish - and got the appropriate bonuses.

I have a couple of mined fish on my map now, actually.

110 bc and you're researching TANKS?? Did you mod that or are you a good player?

 

[choxorn]

Yes:

Although i did edit game rules

Also, The United States aren't a civ- they're called "America".

+1 irrigated, +1 more when railroaded. Standard (assuming not modded) 2 froma grassland, and I think fish adds 2. So it would be 6 food on that tile, irrigated and railroaded.

Better to mine it and get the two shields from it, with railroads.

yeah, i like the name, United States better than America, but i started in the Medieval Times, so it wasn't THAT much of a cheat.... well, yeah, nevermind, it was

wow, i would have said that 6 food was better than 2 shields. I obviously know nothing about how to manage tile improvements, ill have to look into it to make my civ games better.

(assuming not modded)

The only things i really change are making air units mobil, i hate immobile units... making it so that the civ i use can build all the UU in the game (only sometimes for fun, and maybe change bombard range of some units, ie-battleship, it deserves alot more than 2, so i give it 4, and increase some of the others.... but most importantly, cruise missiles were made to go far by themselves, so they really deserve a huge bombard range

 

[civverguy]

The Portuguese have already destroyed Spain!?!?

 

[choxorn]

That is THE definition of an early war! They must have started very close to each other and ended up in a war which Portugal won.

Here's another screenshot.

The Domiliteign advisor! It looks like Portugal didn't conquer Spain, just capture Madrid.

You've already got a bunch of food, might as well get some shields out of it.

Of course, if this is in a highly corrupt city, irrigate it and take the specialists.
