No NO NO! NO!! It can't be true - CURSE YOU FIRAXIS

[WerBackIII]

Noooooooooooo! For Arena ineed nearly 500 buldings(356- buildings; 44- small wonders; 121- big wonders) like Wizard academy, Citadel, Black Harbour and MANY other

Another victim of this stupid limit.

I hope there won't be too many that will shed the blood and feel the pain for this idiotic limit.

 

[ew0054]

Yeah why not make it 512? It's just one extra bit. Kind of like those people who made unix to crash in 2038... what? Did they think it wouldn't happen in their lifetimes???

 

[odintheking]

Yay, a useless bump!

 

[the mormegil]

Old thread but I was just wondering since some of these buildings are just specialist ones, could make them special specialists instead of buildings and have the same effects?

What do you mean by specialist buildings ?

 

[LMR]

i think he means civ-specific buildings.

instead of having, for example, a ribat for an arab country that makes one citizen content, have an amir specialist that makes one person happy

 

[Heretic_Cata]

I don't see how that would have worked out.
What would stop someone for making 10 citizens in a city that specialist ?

 

[LMR]

Because they only produce one happy face, no food or production. nothing will get built, people would starve...

in my example, an amir would be just like an entertainer in the epic game

 

[Plotinus]

Specialists can do all sorts of things, not just happy faces. They can certainly increase production.

However, you can't have many specialists in one mod, either.

Yes but in a 25 citizen city that wouldn't work very well.
The reason why i want buildings instead of citizens is just that, to make them unhappy. With the building you can only make 1 citizen content ... but with the citizens you can work your way and make them all happy.

@Plotinus: there's always a limit.

I was just using the amir/specialist as an example.

how many specialists can you have?

 

[Mongolia]

I don't think there should be a limit to the number of buildings aloud in a city.
You can only build each building once after all.

 

[Snakelover]

After playing Heretic Cata's mod, I am beginning to learn the importance of buildings...
The limit may affect my mod after all.

We ran into a problem in LotM with 26 citizen types, but PCH seems to have figured out how to make them work.
