Peaks Aren't Totally Useless

[Tacit_Exit]

lol, it would be koo if u could bombard a mountain (to make a avalanche (or landslide) that wipeso ut an enemy force....hehe the mongols who got owned by mulan in mulan)

 

[Harbringer]

I dont get it am I missing something?

You are missing the ultra-high mountain peak near his capital city.

 

[Yao777]

You're missing the peak + forest giving him the 0.4 health.

 

[Harbringer]

Ok..............I still dont get it....

 

[Yao777]

Peaks are worthless normally. You can't move it, build on it, nothing. Waste of tile for the most part but since this one has a forest it provides 0.4 health for his city rather than nothing at all.

 

[QiZhe]

That's pretty much dumb luck, since you can't plant forests even if you were able to get a worker on the mountain.

 

[Yao777]

That's also whats funny about it, the dumb luck of the peak with forest lol.

I had one covered in jungle once. I never built a city too close to it though. Not being able to get rid of the health penalty would have really sucked.

Worst tile ever.

What option are you using that displays the numeric keypad keys around your scout there?

 

[hahntsak]

what people don't consider about impassible terrain of all types in the game is that it also limits how attacks can come from. if you build a city in a valley with only 3 ways into it. and you block those. enemies must come from known locations.

There is an option in "options" to turn on numeric keypad help.

 

[harry_horse]

Thats a great set of resources as well. Banana's, sugar and 2 gems (plus the forest!). You are all set for happiness.

Better yet, when some of those other sides have water or rivers on them you also get an extra defensive bonus.
