Yes, I do have a newbie Q:

As a typical builder, I never build many barracks. So, whenever I build the STWA, I do not have to think about this. In my latest game, (4-3 tournament: domination vic) I have built many barracks. I'm only a few turns away from finishing STWA. Should I sell all my Barracks?

Or will they be sold automatically?

 

[Shabbaman]

You can still sell them afterwards. They're not sold automatically. The same goes for example for granaries and the pyramids.

 

[alcide]

in my version of civilization, you can't sell the barack afterwards.
it's may be another improvement of the pacth 1.29...
you do not pay the unkeep anymore, but if i had built the barrack before the wonder, there is no way to sell it afterward.
am i wrong?

 

[Shabbaman]

Well, I might be wrong as well, of course.



I'm sure you can do it with granaries. Of course, you can only sell things you already had...
Isn't there a french 1.21 patch?

[Elninio]

i need help or advice
Hello that is my first post.

First i wanted to excuse for my English. that is not my native language.

I am from Latvia (i hope you know where it is)

And now about my problem.
I added some new units to my scenario. First unit which i added worked perfect. But other units have no sound. But there was sounds in units folder. And in INI file everything was good.
I don't know what to do. i can play without sound, but that isn't so cool.

Please help me!!!

 

[Stapel]

That is quite a question for a newbie! Anyway: welcome to the forum.

Unfortunatedly, I do not know the answer to your question.

 

[alcide]

are you sure it is a newbie question??
have you check yours sound files? are they corrupted?
of course we know latvia : wellcome in the european union!
and don't worry about this bloody english langage! we 've got all the same problem...

Elninio,

Welcome to CFC.

Your question is most likely to get a response if you re-post it in the Civ3 - Creation & Customization forum. There are probably very few people with the knowledge of unit modding who read this thread, but over there it is full of them.

IIRC the only difference between tactical nukes and ICBM's is the range. ICBM:s can reach any part of the map while tactical nukes only have 8 range. I'm not 100% about the damage, though, so can't tell anything about that.

anarres is correct, you can sell your barracks after Zun Tsu's, but it may not look like it. They way it works is this:

When Zun Tsu's is built, all your cities get barracks that cost nothing in upkeep, regardless of whether it had barracks earlier or not. The free barracks can not be sold, but your old, real barracks can. So go to the cities that had built barracks for real, right click on the barracks, and you'll see the sell option. Afterwards, there will still be barracks there, but now it can no longer be sold.

If you don't remember which cities that had real barracks, you must simply right click on the barracks symbol in all cities and see whether it has a sell option or not.

Marines in Armies:

HI people....just wondering if anyone ever put marines in an army? Do they loose their ability to attack from a vessel?

Thanx

 

[Globetrotter]

Should not basically

 

[Globetrotter]

But one more thing: is it an army full of marines or mixed?
Full of marines, i believe they can still attack
If mixed, then dunno...

Thanks Hurricane, but what is the effect on troops that the nuke hits?

Does it have a normal attack value for every troop in the 9 tiles it effects, like every other bombard unit, or does it have a 'group effect', where it kills a certain % of troops in a city?

Also, what determines the buildings/pop points it kills in the city, and do you have to target the city or does it have the same effect if the city is in the 9-tile effect area?
