List of Bonus' AI Gets At Different Difficulties?

[PimpyMicPimp]

I'm sure this has to exist, but I can't find one! I'm curious since I just moved up to Prince awhile ago and I really havn't noticed any difference! I've had to check in several of my games to make sure it was, in fact, on Prince and not Noble. I've ran away with tech nearly every game I've played on Prince be it CE, SE, or Hyrbrid. In fact, my only Prince loss came from a back door culture win (which was the only way I'd really lose on Noble, that or a lame AP win).

Anyways, a link/post would be much appreciated!

I dont know it of head, but it's not much compared to noble. I think you tech 10% slower and the AI get some minor Maintenance+Production boost.

I think the Reference Sheet pinned in this forum has a overwiev. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=236346

Ah, cool, I'll download that and take a look. It can't be much, since I can't tell the difference between Prince and Noble, or at least don't feel a difference. I'm already thinking about jumping to Monarch >.> Which is an odd thought considering how new I am Prince!

[Edit] That link did the trick, thanks. No wonder I didn't notice a difference, it's so tiny! I didn't realise the AI started with a Scout on Prince, but that's not a huge deal. Prince to Monarch seems to be quite the jump, though. Huh, should be fun

Bonus in plural is bonii, by the way

'' is spelled with a non-capital 'p' , by the way

Bonii? These are family boards!

Nah. I don't like that smiley.

Bonii is not actually proper English - it's bonuses - but I use the word a lot (and in fact have never seen anyone else use it until now, except in a couple language threads), and if it gets used enough, it'll get entered into the dictionary, much to the chagrin of those who don't consider "bling" or "l33t" to be words (which I attribute to the stupidity of the people currently in charge of writing dictionaries wanting to be hip).

more correct than bonus', I should mean?

Bonii or bonuses.

Bonus is inherited from latin meaning "good" (descriping a singular masculine noun), "bonii", describing a noun in plural. So if there really is a noun called "bonus", I would argue that the plural should be bonii.

Sorry for Offtopic btw.

 

[grumbler]

Try dropping the second 'i'.

 

[Mike Hussey]

The only correct plural of bonus is bonuses. Bonus is a latin word but it's an adjective, so its plural doesn't take an i.

"Bonii" is even worse. If there was a word from latin spelled"bonius", that happened to be a noun, then its plural would be bonii.

Isn't this common sense? No one in real life uses the words "bonii" or "boni".

Huh? o-declension: masculine, nominative, plural

Hey grumbler

You're wrong again!

Wow, did this thread get derailed in a hurry. And in a wierd direction, too - I mean, existance of God, global warming, getting a Polish civ in the game, or Hitler? - yeah, I can see those derailing a thread...

But the proper way to pluralize bonus? That's a surprise...

 

[grumbler]

Well, on the internet you can always find someone who will argue anything.

Back to the OP, this document is correct except that you need to subtract one free worker from the AI at difficulty levels Monarch and above.

Ohh, i wasnt aware of this, so the AI only ever gets 1 free worker and not 2 correct?

Correct. So it's one free worker at Immortal and Deity, and that's it. And when in doubt, you can take a look at C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Assets\XML\GameInfo\Civ4HandicapInfo.xml for text like this:
